Root To CISO
What makes a good CISO? With Jake Bernardes | Root To CISO Podcast
Welcome to Season Two of the Root To CISO Podcast! What does it really take to be a great CISO? In Part 1 of this two-part episode, Jake Bernardes, CISO at Anecdotes AI, dives into the realities of cybersecurity leadership—beyond just the title. We discuss the true value of the CISO role and why it’s as much about perception as responsibility, how stepping outside your comfort zone builds resilience and leadership skills, the ongoing debate on where CISOs should report (CEO, CTO, or CFO), why career stagnation happens when you stop taking risks, and the unseen sacrifices and support systems that enable CISOs to succeed. Whether you're an aspiring CISO, a current security leader, or just interested in the challenges of executive security leadership, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss. Part 2 drops Thursday! Make sure to subscribe and follow @roottociso on all platforms to stay updated!
