S01-E07 -The CISO Tightrope: Balancing Boards, CIOs, and Campus Culture

Episode 7 welcomes CISO Isaac Straley to explore the evolving role of the CISO in higher education — from reporting lines and key relationships with CIOs, presidents, and budget offices to the human impact of breaches.

Bo and Dana discuss practical leadership lessons, collaborative security models like CANSOC, and how security programs should enable research and campus life rather than simply impose controls.

Key takeaways: prioritize people, translate technical controls into institutional outcomes, and build trust across campus to manage risk effectively.
