026 NYC CISO Geoff Brown Protects the Greatest City in the World

When someone mentions New York City, there are a variety of images that may come to mind. The Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Times Square, or maybe Wall Street or Central Park. And, of course, 9/11. It’s no wonder the city of New York is often called “the greatest city in the world.” Mayors of other cities may take issue with that label, but there’s no argument that New York is one of the largest, most important cities in the world, with over eight and half million people. Geoff Brown is the chief information security officer for New York City, and he’s our special guest today. He heads up New York City Cyber Command, a new cybersecurity organization for the city of New York that works across more than 100 agencies and offices to prevent, detect, respond, and recover from cyber threats.
