There are a few things we specifically dug into this episode:</p> <ul> <li>How did a career as a CISO prepare him for success as an entrepreneur?</li> <li>What did he see that convinced him to leave his job and start this company?</li> <li>Why is the future of cybersecurity membership-based?&nbsp;</li> <li>Given he's a former CISO, how does he think about their GTM strategy and getting in front of their target buyers?</li> <li>Why is community building a more effective strategy than traditional GTM efforts?&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p><br></p>
