I’ve built diverse, high-performing security teams: AMA about hiring, culture, and talent management in cybersecurity.

Wait 5 sec.

The editors at CISO Series present this AMA. This ongoing collaboration between r/cybersecurity and CISO Series brings together security leaders to discuss real-world challenges and lessons learned in the field. For this edition, we’re focusing on the human side of security — how leaders build diverse, high-performing teams, navigate the hiring process, and shape culture inside their organizations. Ask anything about recruiting, retention, inclusion, and what it actually takes to build a security team that works. This week’s participants are: Charles Blauner, (u/OG_CISO), operating partner, Crosspoint Capital Joshua Scott, (u/threatrelic), CISO, Hydrolix David B. Cross, (u/MrPKI), CISO, Atlassian Shaun Marion, (u/MarshaunMan), VP, CSO, Xcel Energy Derek Fisher, (u/Electronic-Ad6523), Director of the Cyber Defense and Information Assurance Program, Temple University Caleb Sima, (u/CalebOverride), builder, WhiteRabbit This AMA will run all week from 03-15-2026 to 03-21-2026. Our participants will check in throughout the week to answer your questions. All AMA participants were selected by the editors at CISO Series (/r/CISOSeries), a media network of five shows focused on cybersecurity.
