I am a CISO/Security Leader. I am also a bald man with facial hair. Ask Me Anything.

Hello,

The editors at CISO Series present this AMA. This has been a long-term partnership between r/cybersecurity and the CISO Series. For this edition, CISO Series has assembled a panel of security leaders who all share two things in common: they’re accomplished CISOs or security professionals – and they’re bald men with facial hair. They’re here to answer any relevant questions about cybersecurity leadership, visibility in the industry, and maybe a little grooming advice.

This week's participants are: * Todd Hughes, (u/HovercraftFlashy7039), senior compliance analyst, Harbor IT * Josh Harguess, (u/firemountainJosh), co-founder, CTO, Fire Mountain Labs * Jason Fruge, (u/Potential-Move3948), cybersecurity advisor, Risksilience LLC * Andrew Wilder, (u/CyberInTheBoardroom), CISO, Vetcor * Rob Allen, (u/threatlocker_rob), chief product officer, ThreatLocker * Jerich Beason, (u/CyberByJB), CISO, WM * Michael Farnum, (u/CybrSecHTX), founder and president, HouSecCon * Edwin Covert, (u/ebcovert3) head of cyber risk engineering, Bowhead Specialty * Gary Hayslip, (u/Shaynei), CISO, Softbank Investment Advisers * Fredrick Lee, (u/CometaryStones), CISO, Reddit
