I take this as a vote of confidence from Cisco that Lisa Su knows how to succeed in the tech industry.
obviously that had to be the main driving forceDid Su look for companies with security track records clearly worse than Intel or how did she end up there?
Are people not aware of the fact that a CEO getting appointed as a Director elsewhere is extremely common?

Fewer CEOs Are Serving on Outside Boards - Council Advisors
There’s nothing like serving as a public company director for getting an inside view of corporate leadership. That’s why many governance experts think it’s an excellent way for C-suite executives to keep their management skills honed. Yet the number of sitting CEOs who sit on outside boards...g100companies.com
There are many reasons why sitting in the boards of other companies is not adviceable.
At least from these two examples the other company runs in a different industry. Be on a board in the second company in the same industry smells moving ships more than just a "standard CEO thing" to meLike I said, a successful CEO will always be asked to be on the board of another company.

It seems that the rumors that Dr. Su is leaving AMD were true...
Cisco and AMD are complimentary businesses to each other. Not competitors. The biggest competition for each is Intel.At least from these two examples the other company runs in a different industry.

Almost all the attack vectors are controllable and in any 1/2 decent designed network architecture if someone is in a position to exploit almost all the management plane vulnerabilities they already have the keys to the kingdom and there is little need to.
