Description

Most security podcasts are built for practitioners. The Rook is built for the people who have to make decisions about security without being security experts.

Hosted by David Shaw — CISSP, fractional vCISO, and GRC consultant with 20 years in the seat — The Rook delivers board-ready intelligence for founders, PE operating partners, M&A attorneys, and executives who own security risk when security isn’t their day job.

Every episode covers one topic in depth with examples from a real incident, a regulatory development, a threat pattern, or a market shift. No vendor hype. No practitioner jargon. Just what it means for the business you're running or the deal you're working on — and what to do about it.

New episodes every other Tuesday.
