From SHIFT by Commvault New York, I sat with Christopher Mierzwa on culture, clarity, and execution!!!!

What you will get

• Real takeaways from his panel

• Why people, mindset, and culture decide security outcomes

• Practical advice for leaders, CISOs, and CIOs

Highlights

• Culture beats tools when pressure hits. If teams do not trust each other, runbooks stall.

• Mindset sets the tone. Treat incidents as system problems, not hero moments.

• Practice builds confidence. Short drills with clear ownership move every metric that matters.

Advice from Chris

• Start with people. Define roles, practice handoffs, review the tape after every drill.

• Build muscle memory. Run small, frequent exercises across IT, SecOps, and the business.

• Keep the board close. Explain risk in plain language and track progress like product work.

My take

Security is a team sport. The best programs invest in culture first, then controls.
