From the C-Suite to the Boardroom: Women Shaping the Future of Cybersecurity

March 23, 2026

Cybersecurity is more than a technical issue. It’s a boardroom priority. In celebration of Women’s History Month, our LinkedIn Live explores the evolving role of cybersecurity leadership and the women helping shape its future.

 

Moderated by Heather Rim, Chief Marketing Officer at Optiv, the discussion feature:

 

  • Blair Christie, Independent Board Member, Advisor, Founder and Former CMO
  • Kristin Lowery, Field CISO at Optiv

 

Together, they explore what boards expect when it comes to cyber risk and governance, lessons from navigating leadership in a still-underrepresented field and advice for emerging leaders aspiring to executive and board roles.
