'Lessons from a CISO' with Tammy Moskites

Welcome to the Scale with Strive podcast, the place where you come to listen to some of the world’s most influential leaders of the SaaS industry. 🚀

 Your host today are Sales Manager, Dylan Hoyle, and Strive's Founder, Adam Richardson. 

Today, we're very pleased to welcome Tammy Moskites from CyAlliance. 

Tammy is an ex-CISO for the likes of Venafi and now runs a Consultancy advising Early-Stage Cyber Security startups. 

Today's conversation was a little bit different than our typical, with some of my key takeaways being: 

💡 What is keeping a CISO up at night - and how their priority initiatives have changed. 

💡 What parameters a Founder can look at to determine Product Market Fit - and how Founders can successfully drive growth at the top of the sales funnel for the company. 

💡 How we can tailor our message towards CISOs in today's market. 

 Let’s Dive In!
