Proving Security’s Business Value with Janae Cubeiro, CPP

In this episode of Fortify Your Future, Ken Carrasco speaks with Janae Cubeiro, CPP, a security leader with more than 20 years of experience in corporate security, operations, and security technology, as well as a decade of service with the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue team. How can security leaders demonstrate their value before an incident makes that value obvious? Janae shares practical perspectives on: • Communicating security’s value to business leaders • Moving the GSOC from event monitoring to decision support • Leadership and decision-making under pressure • Building teams that can perform without constant direction • Designing emergency exercises that reveal real weaknesses • Training for uncertainty rather than rehearsing predictable scenarios • Psychological safety, delegation, and sustainable leadership • Preparing an organization for its next difficult day The conversation is particularly relevant for Security Directors, CSOs and aspiring CSOs, GSOC leaders, corporate security professionals, emergency management leaders, and business continuity and resilience professionals. If you have executive oversight of security—or aspire to lead the function—this episode offers practical lessons for translating security expertise into business value, organizational readiness, and stronger leadership.
