Why Is This a Bad Pitch?

Here’s an excerpt from our live recording of the CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast at the 2019 West Michigan IT Summit, hosted by C3 Technology Advisors.

This episode is hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series and Allan Alford (@allanalfordinTX), co-host of Defense in Depth. Our guest for this special live recording is the former CISO/CSO/CTO of the state of Michigan, Dan Lohrmann (@govcso).

In this segment, I read a horrible pitch sent in to me by a listener, Christopher Stealery of Barclays, and my co-host and guest explain why it’s so bad.

Huge thanks to C3 Technology Advisors for sponsoring and hosting, and thanks to Fuze and Assured Data Protection for sponsoring as well.
