Guardians of Trust: The CISO's Strategic Role in Global Non-Profits

  • 1.  Guardians of Trust: The CISO's Strategic Role in Global Non-Profits

    Posted 16 days ago
    Dear Colleagues:

    Greetings!
     
    In this episode of the Cybersecurity Readiness Podcast, I sit down with Pam Lindemoen, Chief Security Officer and Vice President of Strategy at the Retail & Hospitality Information Sharing and Analysis Center (RH-ISAC), to explore how the CISO's role in global nonprofits has evolved from one of compliance to one of trust preservation and mission resilience.
    Pam brings more than three decades of leadership experience across healthcare, finance, and retail-and she shares how RH-ISAC serves as a collaborative force multiplier, enabling member organizations to detect, respond, and adapt collectively to cyber threats. Together, we discuss how Commitment, Preparedness, and Discipline (CPD) turn shared intelligence into sustained resilience.
    We unpack why cybersecurity in the nonprofit world isn't about protecting margins-it's about protecting purpose. From the governance structures that institutionalize trust to the leadership traits that foster psychological safety, Pam's insights illuminate what it takes to build a community where threat actors collaborate-so must defenders.
    If you've ever wondered how empathy, listening, and cross-sector collaboration can redefine security leadership-and how collective defense is shaping the future of nonprofit resilience-this conversation is not to be missed.
     
     
    Sincerely,
    Dave
