The Head of Product Security for LeanIX Is Focused on Risk
As the head of product security for LeanIX, Michael Lines is primarily focused on risk management, risk assessment and data governance. He tells why he believes that more security leaders and CISOs should focus on risk.

- Why understanding risk is so important to a CISO's success;
- What CISOs and other security leaders don't understand about risk and what can be done about that;
- How CISOs can ensure that risk is built into the frameworks that they follow.
