The ISO is going to the CEO saying there's a chance something bad, and possibly something embarrassing, could happen. But how much of a chance, the ISO doesn't know. And if he spends this kind of money, he can reduce the risk but by how much, he doesn't know. It's simply not enough data. Every other C-level executive does better than that and takes on the responsibility for defining the risk. Here, the CISO is putting the responsibility on the CEO. They don't want it, and eventually they won't take it.

I'm the CEO of A$AP Worldwide. But as you can see, when I'm with them, everybody's equal. We don't really base our love off of finances or who's superior by financial status. We're all equal. When I'm with them, I'm letting them shine 'cause it's just like how it used to be. They still there. I'm just chilling out front.

Human behaviors are a huge impact on security. The people who are mobile are the people who shouldn't be mobile. Does anyone tell the CEO he can't take the laptop with him because it has the firm's information on it? This is the person with the critical information and he's the one on the road.
