Equifax CEO Richard Smith Is Out Days Before Congressional Hearing

But does Equifax have a problem retaining top talent? The great demand for cybersecurity experts at companies across the world could be one of the reasons these people moved jobs, Dr. Edward Amoroso, a distinguished research professor at New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering, said in a recent interview. Dr. Amoroso said that chief information security officer (CISO) is often viewed as an appendage to the executive team, a ‘hired gun’ that may be more likely to leave. ‘The solution is that the CEO needs to build a better, more trusting relationship with the CISO,’ said Dr. Amoroso.
