🎙️ The Strategy Layer Live – Episode 2: Co-Morbid Poisoning of the CISO Role: What Comes Next?

🎙️ The Strategy Layer Live – Episode 2 Co-Morbid Poisoning of the CISO Role: What Comes Next? with Steve Zalewski, former CISO at Levi Strauss & Co. The CISO role isn’t dead — but it is being quietly poisoned. In this episode, Steve Tout (Founder & CEO of Identient) sits down with longtime CISO and cybersecurity strategist Steve Zalewski to unpack the systemic pressures reshaping cybersecurity leadership today. Recorded just after RSA Conference, this episode offers a raw, reflective debrief on the misaligned expectations, fractured reporting structures, and performance theater that are undermining the CISO role from the inside. We explore: Why CISOs are held accountable for systems they don’t control How “co-morbid poisoning” became the diagnosis for the profession What seasoned and aspiring CISOs need to understand about the system they’re navigating Why leadership clarity—not visibility—is the next competitive advantage This conversation directly inspired a chapter in my upcoming book, The CISO On The Razor’s Edge: Leading Cybersecurity When the System Is Designed to Break — launching June 2 on Amazon. 📘 Pre-order the book or download a free chapter: https://tout.media 🧠 Join the SPI 360 Executive Circle: https://identient.ai/slack 🌐 Learn more: https://identient.ai
