93. Empowering the Board with Ian Yip

The Security Collective Podcast

Claire is joined by Ian Yip, Founder and CEO of Avertro, the cyber-why company. They discuss cyber culture at the board level and talk about the impact of security leadership on the culture within cyber teams. Ian talks about the value of using the business's language in your cybersecurity discussions at the board level, and about bringing meaningful information to directors and doing so proactively. They also discuss that you have to rock the boat sometimes to make real change and the burnout that can come from this.

Avertro is a venture-backed cybersecurity software company based out of Sydney, Australia. Ian has two decades of cybersecurity experience in a variety of leadership, advisory, strategy, sales, marketing, product management and technical roles across Asia Pacific and Europe in some of the world’s leading companies including McAfee, Ernst & Young, and IBM.
