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 paths into cybersecurity that don't run through what is perceived as a "traditional" route, such as degrees in computer science or cybersecurity. Ask anything about breaking in without the "standard" credentials, what actually got them hired, and what they wish someone had told them earlier. This week's participants are: David Cross, (u/MrPKI), CISO, Atlassian Adam Arellano, (u/AdamTalksTheCybers), field CTO, Traceable AI Krista Arndt, (u/thedrivermod), associate CISO, St. Luke's University Health Network Mathew Biby, (u/RelativeWolf), director of cybersecurity, TixTrack Russell Spitler, (u/Extra-Grand-1543), CEO and co-founder, Nudge Security Mary Carmichael, (u/TheCyberAuditor), field CISO, western Canada, Bell Cyber Proof photos This AMA will run all week from 07-26-2026 to 07-31-2026. 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.
