John Stewart doesn't talk like your typical corporate executive.

Then again, Stewart has more important things to worry about. As CSO, he's responsible for directing Cisco corporate and business-unit security practices.That means he gets the call whenever there's an important security bug in Cisco's products, and would if hackers were to hit the company Web site.
