Episode 7: So you think you know security? with Sarah Janes
What makes a great cyber security leader? It’s probably not what you think.
In this episode of So You Think You Know Security?, host Charlotte Ricca and Sarah Janes, CEO of Layer 8, explore why effective leadership has less to do with authority or technical expertise and more to do with trust, honesty and creating a culture where people feel safe to speak up.
Together they discuss:
- The biggest leadership lessons from building Layer 8
- Why psychological safety is essential to a strong security culture
- How security champions build influence through trust, not authority
- Why every security leader should own behaviour change—not just technology
- How shifting leadership from hierarchy to shared ownership creates more resilient organisations
