What does a CISO actually do? – Thomas Mølgaard, DXC Technology

What happens inside a Security Operations Center, and why should leadership care about who owns security? Thomas Mølgaard, Security Lead Nordics at DXC Technology, joins Digitaliseringspodden to explain how a SOC works, how AI is changing security operations, and what a CISO does day to day.

We talk about how security culture is built by what your colleagues do. Thomas explains how a CISO finds problems and gets them on the management agenda, and how to turn risk from a vague feeling into concrete numbers, illustrated with a game of darts. The episode ends with the five elements you need to describe any risk scenario.
