Root to CISO: Rural Risk, AI Skills & Community Defense | Root To CISO Podcast
In this byte-size episode, Kris Rides sits down with longtime friend John Yeoh, Chief Scientific Officer at the Cloud Security Alliance, immediately following their keynote at the North Central Washington Cybersecurity Summit. Together, they explore how cybersecurity uniquely impacts rural communities — from digital combines to small-business supply chains — and why even basic cyber gaps can have massive real-world consequences. Kris and John also discuss the growing role of cyber clinics, how students can gain hands-on experience, why soft skills accelerate career growth, and the importance of aligning security with business outcomes.
