"The Roundtable Network provides a fresh look at different ways to solve security problems with input from peers. By benchmarking where your company is with other industries, you can paint a picture of where your security program stands.

This informal sharing of experiences ensures mistakes are not repeated and provides CISSP and CISM credits which can be so hard to accumulate."

Stash Jarocki, VP of RTS Quality Assurance & Risk Management, Wells Fargo
