Kind of ironic they try to collect an email on this page and you simply have to hit view only.

What is ironic about this?

Verizon having to publicly disclose that they screwed up protecting the data they collect, and then, like a desperate addict, asking for more data? Yeah, no, you're right, not ironic at all.

It is a report that Verizon produced about data breaches in industry, not a report about a data breach at Verizon.

Please at least click the link before making snarky comments or your snarky comments will be misinformed.

The CISO role is too often just a game of roulette. The big question is whether the CISO is actually able to effect changes that have material impact on their own fate, by improving security posture. If not, then the CISO is merely compensated to play the scapegoat when luck is down.

CISOs aren't the only heads that roll. Security incidents will often directly impact platform and infrastructure teams, who's leadership and EMs heads roll as well. If there is a very public breach, literally everyone director upwards will inevitably get purged over the 12 months post breach. I've worked on enough cases like this to see it happen.

If it doesn't affect stock price, though, then the CEO, board, and shareholders are all incentivized to keep IS costs low, and ignore any costly security recommendations.

This is actually a really solid high-level report. Very well-written. Frankly, it blows my mind that it was made by a company with such infuriatingly asinine, incompetent, and ineffective support processes. I'll bet a non-zero quantity of hiring managers that have been burned by Verizon's support have subconsciously passed over talented candidates coming from there.
