What's Hot from This Kitchen?
Episode Summary
Join us for an unforgettable episode of Cooking with CISOs featuring Troy Vanderhyde as he prepares his signature Red Wine Braised Short Ribs while sharing the raw truths about security leadership that most executives won't say out loud.
What makes this conversation essential viewing?
Troy doesn't sugarcoat the reality of being a cybersecurity leader.
From growing up watching his father craft Super Bowl rings to rebuilding a global Security Operations Center from the ground up, Troy's journey reveals the intersection of craftsmanship, resilience, and the constant pressure of protecting an organization's most valuable assets - their "crown jewels."
What You’ll Learn
- Why trust is the foundation that makes or breaks security programs
- How practice and preparation create the confidence to handle any incident
- The personal toll of being "always on" in a 24/7 threat landscape
- Why defending the crown jewels requires both technical skill and strategic thinking
But this conversation goes deeper.
Troy opens up about his father's legacy in precision craftsmanship and how those lessons about attention to detail, patience, and excellence translate directly to building resilient security operations.
The cooking metaphor becomes reality as Troy's three-hour braising process mirrors the patient, methodical approach required to build lasting security programs.
Just like short ribs need time, temperature control, and the right ingredients to transform into something exceptional, security programs require sustained attention, proper resources, and consistent execution to protect what matters most.
