Cybersecurity Growth

From Individual Contributor to Leader

From IC to Leader 🎙 Leadership in cybersecurity isn’t just about a title — although sometimes the title forces the issue. Whether you’re an IC, a manager, or a director, there’s a real shift that has to happen when you move from doing security to leading security. In this episode, Garrett and Shawn dig into the core differences, including the transition from: 1. SecOps worker → SecOps leader 2. AppSec worker → AppSec leader 3. GRC worker → GRC leader 4. Manager → Executive leader (VP, CISO, SVP) We talk about what really changes: 1. Doing it yourself → delegating effectively 2. Delivering results → setting strategy and holding teams accountable 3. Celebrating your own wins → celebrating your team’s wins 4. Being the technical expert → translating security into executive language (revenue, growth, customer trust) If you’re thinking about what the next step looks like in your career — or you’re already in a role where leadership is expected — this conversation is for you.
