This episode explores:
How, despite geopolitical instability, CSCOs can meet growing performance expectations by increasing their supply chain’s flexibility in key areas. (1:20)Definitions and applications of terminology associated with this process, such as “trust boundaries” and “supply chain elasticity.” (5:10)Concerns of increased complexity associated with supply chain elasticity. (8:30)Methods to assess geopolitical risks’ potential impacts on a supply chain. (13:18)Recommendations for CSCOs seeking to increase their supply chain’s elasticity. (16:35)
In this episode of the Supply Chain Podcast, host Lindsay Azim and guest Pierfrancesco (Pier) Manenti, research vice president for the Gartner supply chain strategy team, discuss findings from Supply Chain Executive Report: Empowering Growth Through Geopolitically Elastic Supply Chains.
As countries cloister their markets in response to various geopolitical tensions, accessing a global marketplace is becoming harder for CSCOs. Lindsay and Pier explore how “supply chain elasticity,” a concept explored in the Executive Report, can help CSCOs alleviate these market access issues while driving growth. The discussion includes key definitions and actions, success stories from organizations already applying these principles and recommendations for CSCOs to improve elasticity within their own supply chains.
Pierfrancesco (Pier) Manenti is research vice president for the Gartner supply chain strategy team. Pier provides insights and advisory support to chief supply chain officers (CSCOs) and heads of strategy of global manufacturing and retail corporations, especially with regards to future trends and key challenges affecting end-to-end supply chain strategy.

Join Gartner experts Chris Mixter and Jeremy D’Hoinne on this episode of the CISO Edge Podcast for a conversation on the steps that CISOs must take to fulfill their multiprongmandate: defending the enterprise from AI-fueled attacks, and enabling business and cybersecurity functional use of generative AI (GenAI) — all without losing focus on their other mission-critical priorities.
This episode explores:
Is generative AI simply a version of a movie CISOs have seen before? (02:32)What are the most promising use cases for generative AI within cybersecurity? (6:48)How do we avoid inflated expectations around secure development in the GenAI era? (12:29)What are the key skills and cybersecurity culture we need to make the most of GenAI? (17:25)As a Gartner research VP for security operations and infrastructure protection, Jeremy D'Hoinne assists chief information security officers and their teams to develop strategies to protect against advanced threats. Jeremy’s research includes exposure management and how to run a continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) program; it also covers related technologies, such as cybersecurity validation technologies,including breach and attack simulation (BAS).

Attrition is a natural part of any function, yet cybersecurity organizations are often caught off-guard and see productivity and morale drop when staff depart. Having a strategy for planned and unplanned turnover is a crucial component of your cybersecurity programs’ greater success. In this episode of the CISO Edge Podcast, Gartner experts Chris Mixter and Victoria Cason discuss the three essential components of an effective talent release program: transition planning, offboarding and alumni relations.

CISOs today are taking on more responsibilities and doing so faster. However, this rapid expansion comes at the cost of stability and amorphous priorities. CISO Edge podcast host Chris Mixter talks to Gartner VP analyst Nader Henein about trust — who needs to trust CISOs, what trust means to each constituency, and how CISOs can build trust with each one.
This episode explores :
The connection between trust and the CISO’s effectiveness in role. (02:00)What trust means to the C-suite and board in the context of cybersecurity (07:30)What trust means to the CISO’s peers around the organization. (16:15)How CISOs should build and maintain trust with their direct reports. (23:00)How CISOs can support the development of trust from the organization’s customers. (29:24) -
Despite CISOs making meaningful increases in time, money and technology to third-party cyber risk management (TPCRM), enterprises continue to be plagued by disruptive third-party-originating cyber incidents. Chris Mixter and Rahul Balakrishnan use Gartner’s latest global benchmarking to debunk the conventional wisdom around TPCRM, which drives cybersecurity leaders to increase effort without improving outcomes. Chris and Rahul also provide three practices that CISOs can implement immediately to improve TPCRM effectiveness.
This episode explores:
Why cybersecurity should stop customizing due diligence questionnaires (06:20) How to increase the likelihood that accepted third-party cyber risks become managed risks (13:30)Making contingency planning a core element of third-party cyber risk management (21:45) -
In this episode of the CISO Edge podcast series, Gartner experts Mary Ruddy and Chris Mixter explore what cybersecurity leaders across the spectrum of identity and access management maturity need to do to accelerate their progress to an identity-first cybersecurity program.
Decentralization of computing resources, channels, entities and devices makes traditional perimeter-based security strategies and tools insufficient. Security and risk management leaders must put identity at the core of cybersecurity strategy and invest in continuous, context-aware controls. However, getting to a level of IAM program maturity where you are able to deliver continuous, context-aware identity and access controls at scale feels like a massive leap to many CISOs, whose IAM programs struggle to deliver their basic capabilities at a consistent level of quality. This conversation will provide guidance to CISOs to enable their IAM teams to rapidly advance down the path to identity-first security. -
Savvy cybersecurity leaders must look to new approaches to training employees to combat social engineering. While phishing tests are seen by cybersecurity leaders around the world as essential in the fight against email-based attacks, abundant evidence exists that the outcomes do not justify the investment. Phishing testing’s lessons are not extensible to other behaviors, the exercise foments a culture of distrust between cybersecurity and the workforce (name one other function that deliberately tries to to trick employees in the name of training), and, combined with the reality that it only takes one employee clicking to generate the worst-case outcome, phishing testing is more an exercise in security theater than a contributor to a secure culture.
Andrew Walls is a vice president and distinguished analyst in Gartner’s cybersecurity practice. Prior to joining Gartner in 2007, Andrew held cybersecurity leadership posts in industries from chemical/pharmaceutical R&D to banking.

02:00 Why you shouldn’t try to “patch” burnout
05:50 Bring some actual choice into the phrase “Cybersecurity is a lifestyle choice”
11:40 Recalibrate your collaboration habits
14:42 Rebalance your digital diet
Gartner predicts that by 2025, burnout will have caused 50% of current CISOs to change jobs — of which, 25% for roles outside cybersecurity entirely — and it’s not hard to understand why! CISOs today find themselves in demand across the spectrum of operational and executive-level decisions — a massive shift for an executive role that only a few years ago had to fight for “a seat at the table.”
CISOs need a new toolkit in order to manage their stress and thrive amid the varied, often conflicting, and always high-stakes demand for their time and expertise, because the grass is not greener elsewhere!
In this podcast, Gartner experts will share practitioner-tested tactics for CISOs to avoid — not patch — the risk of burnout by reimagining their scarcest resource: their time.

In this podcast, Thielemann and Mixter discuss:
Unclear ownership/commitment to securing CPS (06:10)The inability to defend what people don’t know they have (09:10)The cultural and language divide between IT cybersecurity and CPS teams (12:22)Insufficient OEM commitment to security by design (24:55)Across industries, the expanding use of cyber-physical systems (CPS) brings massive potential for value creation internally and for customers and citizens. Currently, most enterprises take a siloed approach to managing risks — IT cybersecurity is managed here, while the security of cyber-physical systems is managed over there. Unfortunately, this virtually ensures that the risks will outweigh the potential benefits.
Cybersecurity leaders — whether they own CPS security or not, or are inside or outside industries traditionally considered “critical infrastructure,” have an essential role to play in ensuring the enterprise addresses risks.
