Hello everyone! Thanks for joining us!
CISO Series have been long-term supporters of r/cybersecurity and allow us to connect you with industry professionals who can provide a wide range of contextual experience. For this AMA, the editors at CISO Series assembled a handful of CISOs who broke into the industry without a technical background. They are here to answer any relevant questions you have.
