Our guest today is Ian Thornton-Trump, Chief Information Security Officer at Cyjax Limited.

In this episode, Ian tells us about his journey to his current role, his experiences working as a threat intelligence analyst for the Canadian military, and the lessons he learned along the way.

He discusses with us what he believes to be the most important yet underappreciated cybersecurity skill, as well as the mistakes that can land a CISO in jail and how to prevent them.

We'll talk about his thought on certifications in today’s modern hiring market, why he thinks that backups are “the Alamo” in cybersecurity and why he started a community that, in his words, is more of an anti-community.
