In this episode of The New CISO Podcast, host Steve Moore and speaks with Michael Mendelsohn, CISO at Majesco.

Michael initially wanted to be a software developer — but, as an intern who loved to code, he was tasked with building his own firewall at a company without a security team. Now, he leverages his technical skills and out-of-the-box thinking as a CISO. So, when should you build versus buy security tools? And how can CISOs avoid being a “land of no”? Michael joins Steve to cover why curiosity can be an asset for cybersecurity leaders.
