From Blind to Clear Vision: The Journey from CISO to CEO with Streaming Defense

In 1779, John Newton penned the hymn Amazing Grace, immortalizing the words: “I was blind, but now I see.” Although written about redemption, this phrase resonates deeply with my own journey in cybersecurity leadership. As a corporate CISO, I never felt I had a true and complete view of the networks and platforms I was responsible for defending.

 

Despite the array of tools available, I often found myself playing catch-up - responding to incidents only after they had escalated. The growing complexity of digital environments created countless blind spots and fragmented data streams, leaving me with a nagging sense of unease. Whether in Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, or healthcare organizations, the need for clear visibility in cybersecurity has never been more critical.

 

Taking the Leap: Building Streaming Defense

Recognizing the urgency of this problem, I decided to take a leap. Together with a group of trusted colleagues, I founded Streaming Defense - a cybersecurity company committed to eliminating the blind spots that plague security leaders. Our mission was clear: create a platform that provides a level of visibility I had long sought. A solution that enables CISOs to see what they couldn’t before, and, in turn, act to defend their organizations.

 

Today, our platform has been stress-tested in some of the toughest environments, including protecting critical national infrastructure. But what we've realized is that the same technology that serves national defense can be adapted to meet the needs of corporate executives and CISOs seeking a proactive approach to cybersecurity.

With Streaming Defense, what was once unseen is now visible, and what you can see, you can defend. This clarity not only strengthens the defenses of your organization but also allows you to lead with confidence, making informed decisions in a dynamic threat environment.
