Roundtable Review: Digital Transformation in Seattle

In the latest stop in this roundtable dinner series, ISMG and Zscaler visited Seattle on Feb. 26 to discuss security's role as a catalyst for digital transformation. It was a diverse crowd - and a mature conversation, says Bil Harmer, Americas CISO with Zscaler.

With attendees representing financial services, manufacturing, healthcare and technology, the roundtable presented new insights on the security organization's challenge to shake its "department of no" reputation.

In this exclusive post-event interview, Harmer shares his takeaways from the roundtable, as well as how this discussion needs to evolve.

Harmer has been in Information Technology for 30 + years. He has been at the forefront of the Internet since 1995, and his work in security began in 1998. He has led security for startups, Government and well established Financial Institutions. He currently serves as Americas CISO for Zscaler.
