Brandon brought together AWS’s Danielle Ruderman and Texas A&M CISO Adam Mikeal to show how CISO Circles turn peer mentoring into real security culture change across higher education and the enterprise cloud.

Key topics

  • CISO Circles provide off-the-record channels to swap ransomware playbooks, regulatory lessons, and hiring strategies without waiting for conferences.
  • Higher-ed institutions juggle student privacy, research IP, and legacy OT networks—making culture and executive sponsorship non-negotiable.
  • Brandon surfaced tangible actions: shared tabletop exercises, cloud identity baselines, and faculty engagement models that scale beyond a single campus.
