Tribe of Hackers Security Leaders: Tribal Knowledge from the Best in Cybersecurity Leadership - Book 3

by Marcus J. Carey and Jennifer Jin

The Security Leaders edition of Tribe of Hackers focuses on the management and leadership side of cybersecurity. Interviews with CISOs, security directors, and program leaders explore how to build and manage security teams, communicate risk to executive leadership, handle board-level reporting, manage budgets, and navigate organizational politics. The book addresses challenges specific to security leadership, including burnout management, building diverse teams, measuring security program effectiveness, and making the case for security investment. For technical practitioners considering the move to management, it provides honest perspectives on what changes, what you gain, and what you give up. For current leaders, it offers validation, alternative approaches, and the reassurance that everyone struggles with the same fundamental challenges.
