Educational, Talk Show, 28-Jul-2026
Is the traditional CISO officially extinct? In this episode of the Security Boulevard Podcast, host Tom Hollingsworth is joined by security research analyst Fernando Montenegro and 25-year industry veteran Kate Scarcella to discuss the evolution of Chief Information Security Officers, from hands-on networking nerds to strategic business executives navigating personal board liability. The panel breaks down the complexities of translating technical threats into monetary risk quantification, why clear documentation and SOPs are becoming essential in the era of agentic AI workflows, and what trends to watch out for as the security community heads to Las Vegas for Hacker Summer Camp (Black Hat, DEF CON, and BSides). This and more on the Security Boulevard Podcast, part of The Futurum Group Podcast Network.
