What does it really take to lead as a modern CISO?
In this episode of The Strategy Layer, Steve sits down with Andy Ellis — former CSO of Akamai, CISO Hall of Fame inductee, and author of How to CISO 1.1 — for a wide-ranging, no-fluff conversation on the future of cybersecurity leadership.
Andy brings clarity, candor, and decades of experience to the table as we explore:
- The core leadership principles behind How to CISO 1.1
- The Zero Trust paradox — and how it’s creating more confusion than clarity
- Why the next-gen CISO might not be who you expect
- How to lead with presence — in the boardroom, and in the moments that matter most
Whether you’re new to the role or a seasoned executive, this episode is packed with insights to elevate your mindset, sharpen your strategy, and lead with intention.
Listen now and rethink what it means to be a CISO today — and tomorrow.
