Insider-Tip

Mandy Andress, CISO, Elastic

"One of the fastest ways to build trust with a CISO is to acknowledge what you are not able to solve. So many vendors pretend that their product will solve all the issues in a given area. We know that is not accurate. The more you are clear on what you are and not able to cover, the more trust you will build as an honest, high integrity partner."
