Summary

A deputy global CISO who came up through information governance and law school makes the case that the strongest security leaders lead with risk, relationships, and storytelling, not with technology. It is a conversation about non-traditional paths into cyber, building people-centric teams, and why the talent pipeline depends on inviting in people who never planned to take a computer apart.
