DivisionHex's Charles Henderson Talks Efficiency for CISOs on Cyberkicks Podcast

How today’s CISOs can do more with less — and still stay ahead

Charles Henderson, EVP of Cyber Security Services + Head of DivisionHex at Coalfire, joins analysts Christina Richmond and Rory Duncan on the Cyber Sidekicks podcast to talk about the real challenges facing modern security leaders — tighter budgets, expanding threats, and the never-ending balance between offense, defense, and resilience.

Episode highlights

• Why “do more with less” puts CISOs at a disadvantage as attackers scale faster and invest more
• How offensive, defensive, and managed services work together to close visibility gaps before a breach
• The need for threat hunting and incident response as proactive, not reactive, capabilities
• How insurance, risk tolerance, and budget strategy shape real-world security decisions
• Why multi-layered, programmatic security — not point solutions — defines long-term success
•  

“You can’t just build a castle and hope it holds. Someone’s going to click a link. That’s why detection and response matter just as much as defense.”
