Debating CISO Accountability: Inside the SolarWinds SEC Case

The SEC case against SolarWinds and its CISO has been one of the most passionate topics all, spawning heated discussions in the hallways of CISOs across the country and globe, often bifurcating cybersecurity professionals into two opposing camps.
