Hello and welcome to the eXecutive Security podcast where we talk to CISOs and other leaders in cybersecurity about a career in this industry, specifically how to get into it, and how to advance. My name is Gene Fay and I'm the CEO of ThreatX an API security company and the host of the eXecutive Security podcast.

I started this podcast because of my two passions, cybersecurity and helping people find jobs in cyber.
Over the last 17 years, I've been blessed to meet so many amazing people within this industry. People who taught me not only about cybersecurity, but how to be a great leader. For a while I've been thinking about how I can give back to the cybersecurity industry, which has been so good to me.

Also, I've been thinking about what I've learned from great leaders in this space, and I can share this knowledge with a lot of people. So this [00:01:00] is how this podcast was started.
If you were just thinking about getting into cybersecurity and want to learn how to get started, or if you're in the field and aspire to be a manager, VP, or CISO, this podcast is for you.

I hope you enjoy it. If you have any suggestions on guests or topics you want us to cover in the future, please send me an email at genedotfayatthreatxdotcom. Thanks a lot and I hope you enjoy the podcast.
