Welcome to Episode 32 of The Defender’s Journal.
Jacob DePriest returns to the show - previously Deputy CISO at GitHub, and now holding a rare dual mandate as CISO and CIO at 1Password, operating at the fault line between security, infrastructure, and business strategy.
In this conversation, Jacob unpacks what truly changes when you move from a deputy role into full ownership, why “customer zero” shifts the identity of a security leader, and the advice he gives to anyone early in their career: don’t default to the way things have always been done - push, test, and challenge the assumptions that everyone else has learnt to live with.
