I find it odd the CISO gets two weeks to transition things while the Head of Security (does that get an acronym?) got shown to the door. The latter doesn't seem as much like a straight-up termination for ordinary performance reasons.
Then again, I was at a large company where the CISO managed to get insta-fired in a 1:1 with the CIO. I actually saw the person about two minutes after it happened while they were grabbing their jacket and heading for the door — I don't know what was said, but judging by appearances things got really heated and the CIO had enough. Corporate security appeared shortly to begin boxing things up.
- tptacek 5y agoI don't know what the "head of security" role is. I have no inside knowledge here. But if he wasn't on many people's reporting chain, and a big part of his role was talking to external people and selling Twitter's security program --- not an unusual portfolio for a CSO! --- then there might have been no reason to ask him to hang around. You tend not to have your outgoing CSO do high-profile meetings to sell your security programs exsternally.
