CISO: Evolution of a Vocation: Confessions of a Recovering CISO 2026Ron BaklarzThis book comprises three levels. The first level shares the author’s personal journey, beginning as a homeless college dropout and culminating in over thirty years of service as a CISO and in CISO‑equivalent roles at some of America’s most iconic companies and organizations. Drawing on experience and discipline gained from military contracting work, the author maintained a letter log system to manage the commitments and document the issues he faced. He also kept digital copies of over 1,000 memorandums issued during his later CISO roles. Through excerpts from selected memos, readers gain an unprecedented view into the cybersecurity challenges he confronted as CISO. Each chapter includes “Lessons Learned,” providing readers with the benefits of the author’s life lessons and cybersecurity experiences. Where warranted, the author recognizes his “All Star” team members whom he had the privilege of working with.🔐Ленивый безопасник
