Today’s guest is Field CISO Robert Wagner, we speak about his “untraditional” career change into security, his track from Third shift analyst to field CISO and what that role actually involves. Robert clearly cares about the industry having spoken at many conferences and managed to worry me about the effects of AI. What’s great about Robert is he loves solving executive security problems even if it means promoting other security solutions.

I sit down with Paul Valente (CEO & Co-Founder of VISO Trust), and we talk about Third-Party

Cyber Risk Management and why it’s so important to be controlled, his inspiration

and shift from CISO to CEO. We then finish off with why it’s so important to attract

the right investors and his advice to anyone looking to start their own

company.

This week’s guest we have Ray Espinoza. Ray is currently the CISO for Inspectiv, and has a great story to tell from Incident responder to CISO. He talks about scaling security functions, building teams and most importantly his key to success is “having a collaborative leadership style”.

This week's guest we have CISO Jeff Moss. Jeff is currently looking for his next CISO role after finishing up with Rebellion Defense. He has such a fascinating story to tell having gone from product security engineer to CISO in 4 years.

We talk about building security strategies, driving security culture, his hiring criteria and pineapple on pizza! Jeff is another highly technical CISO who is a self-confessed bookworm and gives some awesome advice to those looking to track to CISO.

This week's guest we have Security Evangelist, Jaye Tillson. I met Jaye at BlackHat in Las Vegas in 2022 and being a fellow brit we hit it off immediately! In this episode we'll cover Jaye’s background, why he went back to school, ZeroTrust and why he is so passionate about it, and his role at SSE forum. Jaye has no other agenda other than helping and educating people!

This week’s guest we have Mike Privette, CISO at Passport and VC Advisor. I have known Mike for some time now and I am super excited to have him on the pod as our first episode guest. We are going to deep dive into Mike’s background and his track to CISO as well as discuss all his active contributions to the infosec community and all the hats he wears outside the office.
