Life of a CISO with Dr. Eric Cole

Building Cybersecurity from the Ground Up: A Conversation with Chuck Brooks


Listen Later

In this powerful episode of Life of a CISO, Dr. Eric Cole sits down with cybersecurity thought leader Chuck Brooks—one of the industry's original influencers—to uncover how the past, present, and future of cybersecurity are being shaped by leadership, emerging technology, and real-world experience. From working with President Reagan to helping stand up the Department of Homeland Security, Chuck shares stories that reveal the critical role CISOs play in national security, business resilience, and global collaboration.

Together, Dr. Cole and Chuck Brooks dive into the importance of soft skills for cybersecurity executives, why cyber is no longer a cost center but a business enabler, and how today's leaders must understand risk, policy, and communication as much as technology. They also explore the evolving role of zero trust, disruptive technologies like AI and quantum, and how professionals can brand themselves to stand out in a crowded field. Whether you're a seasoned CISO or a cybersecurity manager looking to grow, this episode will expand your thinking—and inspire your next move.
