Women Who Secure the World: Breaking Barriers and Building the Future of Cyber Leadership (Ep. 7)

Most cybersecurity conversations focus on tools and threats. The better ones focus on people, trust, and how leaders actually show up when things go sideways. In this episode, Tony Pietrocola, President and Co-founder of AgileBlue, and Joe Marquette, CEO and Co-founder, sit down with Becky Cross, Vice President of Client Partnerships at FIT Technologies. They get into how cybersecurity leadership is shifting, what clients actually need in high-pressure moments, and why the way we communicate risk matters just as much as the technology behind it. Becky brings a perspective that’s grounded in real client experience. Less noise, more clarity. Less fear, more trust. And a clear argument for why different perspectives lead to better decisions when it matters most. Key takeaways: What it looks like to lead with clarity when clients are under pressure How asking better questions changes the outcome of client relationships Where confidence and perception can get misaligned in leadership roles Why diverse teams tend to make stronger, more balanced decisions How representation continues to shape the future of cybersecurity And more!
