With a career spanning healthcare, finance, crypto, and the Department of Defense, Krista brings a uniquely nontraditional path into cybersecurity, one shaped by mission-driven leadership, authenticity, and a commitment to mentorship.
In this episode, Krista explains why identity sits at the center of nearly every major cyber incident and shares lessons from real-world response work. She also draws a striking parallel between incident response and her life as a national drag racing competitor, where staying calm under pressure and building in fail-safes can mean the difference between disaster and resilience.
This episode is a powerful look at what it means to lead in cybersecurity.
