Rick Howard is a legend in the security industry, having most recently served as the CSO at Palo Alto Networks. Rick's currently the CSO, Senior Fellow, and Chief Analyst at the CyberWire, one of the leading cybersecurity media & publishing companies. Rick is a self described "old army guy" having spent nearly 30 years in the US Army prior to transitioning to a commercial career with companies like Engility, Verisign, and Counterpane.  On the interview, Rick and I dig into the changes he needed to make as a first time CISO in the commercial space as well as the primary differences between government & commercial sector. He describes one of his top skills as translating complex technical documents and concepts into a language that business professionals can understand.  Get in touch with the show: Website: businessofcyber.com LinkedIn: Joe Vinck & Business of Cyber Twitter: @joey_vinck
