Last year, we started with a webinar series on the Metaverse and cybersecurity. It started from a Linkedin poll that I sent asking if people were interested in this topic. Little did I know what was to happen in 2022. The insecurity of Web3 projects made me re-live the days of the dotcom bubble bursting in 2001.
What a mess.
Sometimes, I wonder if I was prescient in doing that webinar series.
What I learned is that I like the process of coming up with content and finding experts to talk about it. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories. If you do too, then you may be interested in our new podcast that we are launching here on Substack.
This podcast will feature the life and work of a vCISO in each show. I wish I was as clever as the Smartless podcast creators but if you are familiar with that podcast (and if you are not, I highly recommend it) then you know the style that I am aiming for.
On Smartless, Jason, Will and Sean interview a celebrity, finding out about their work and their thoughts on various topics, often letting the conversation just flow rather than forcing it.
So that is the style I intend to adopt for the vCISO Chronicles. I will interview a vCISO to find out about their work and passions in life. It will cover a little bit of cybersecurity and a lot of real life hard work and, hopefully, some good stories and maybe even a few laughs. I hope you join us on this journey exploring this vital new role in our economy.
You’re the best,
Caroline
