How to Take Down Traditional Silos and Turn 'Dr. No' Into 'Dr. Know'

In an interview with Information Security Media Group as part of the CyberEdBoard's ongoing Profiles in Leadership series, Ravenna discusses:
- How to achieve visibility - and then what to do with it;
- Bridging the traditional gaps with IT, security and privacy;
- The difference between "Dr. No" and "Dr. Know."
