What happens when a CISO-led community takes root in a new city — and how do you cut through the noise around AI in cybersecurity?

In this special episode recorded live from the inaugural CISO XC ATX event in Austin, host David Malicoat sits down with Randy Potts, co-founder of CISO XC, and Dr. Anand Singh, veteran CISO and AI thought leader, for two candid conversations on the future of cybersecurity leadership.
