What security leaders are saying in public, and who is saying it: posts on LinkedIn, X, Bluesky and Mastodon, articles under their own byline, podcast appearances, conference talks, videos and their own blogs. Every entry links to the original.
Only people our record names as the current holder of a top security seat appear here, with the role and company from our own record, not from the platform or the page, and an account counts only if its profile carries their exact name and that company. The headline is our neutral description of the subject. For an article, podcast, talk, video or blog we show its own title and where it appeared; for a LinkedIn post, the quoted opening is the author's own first words, as they appear in the post's address.
