What is going correctly or well in cybersecurity? What are you looking forward to in cybersecurity? What has you happy in cybersecurity? Last week's show was the rants, this week's show is the raves! I want to hear below what you see as the positives in our industry and community. Dani Woolf and I met with a dozen cyber leaders to ask them those very questions on this week's episode of The Cyber Ranch Podcast, LIVE! at CISO XC executive conference in DFW. Dani is host of the Audience 1st podcast, and was brilliant to work with! We plan to work together more in the future for sure. I'm not tagging any guests on this one because we kept it anonymous on purpose so folks could really tell their story with confidence. Give it a listen, but more importantly, share your positive thoughts below about the cyber community, industry, or anything else. Available here or wherever you get your podcasts: https://lnkd.in/gg5Qjg3c Thanks to Cecil Pineda Randy Potts Jaimin Shah Brandon Nichols for giving Dani and I a place to record this show. I think it came out really, really well. Thanks to Richard Salim for brilliant editing on this one! WARNING: Possibly a bit of naughty language in this one. #informationsecurity #cybersecurity #infosec #ciso

🚨 Late Post: I'm catching up but couldn't not share my thoughts about the incredible day I had at CISO XC last week. Reflecting on the incredible experience at the CISO Executive Conference last week! 🌟 It was truly inspiring to be part of such a dynamic gathering of cybersecurity leaders, exchanging insights and fostering invaluable connections. First and foremost, a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved in the generous donation to the Women of Security group. Your support is instrumental in empowering and advancing diversity in our industry, and I'm deeply grateful for your commitment. THANK YOU!! It was also fantastic to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones, further reinforcing the sense of community that defines our profession. Networking isn't just about exchanging business cards; it's about building meaningful relationships that can spark collaboration and innovation. The conference provided a platform to delve into the latest issues and challenges facing cyber executives today. From emerging threats to regulatory changes, it's clear that our field is evolving at a rapid pace. I left with a deeper understanding of the complex landscape we navigate and renewed determination to stay ahead of the curve. One highlight was the Mind Over Cyber panel discussions, which offered thought-provoking insights into the intersection of psychology and cybersecurity. Understanding human behavior is crucial in crafting effective security strategies, and the panelists delivered invaluable perspectives on this critical aspect of our work. In all, it was an enriching experience that left me energized and inspired. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making it a success, and I look forward to applying what I've learned to drive positive change in our industry. Here's to continued growth and collaboration! 🥂 💼🔒 💻 #CISOXC #CyberSecurity #Networking #WomenofSecurity Shannon Johnson, MBA, MSHS Jessica N.
