The Cyber Express, in collaboration with Suraksha Catalyst, has kicked off the Black Hat USA 2025 CISO Podcast Series with a powerful first episode recorded live in Las Vegas.
The discussion centered around one of the most important questions in cybersecurity today:
“How can CISOs secure and govern AI while meeting growing expectations from boards, regulators, and customers?”

To explore the challenge, we had two seasoned cybersecurity leaders on-board:
- Willy Leichter, Chief Marketing Officer at PointGuard AI
- John Sapp Jr., Vice President, Information Security & CISO at Texas Mutual Insurance Company
Why This Conversation Matters
AI is no longer just an emerging tool—it’s at the center of security strategies and risk frameworks. From governance and compliance to trust and resilience, CISOs are now expected not only to manage AI securely but also to demonstrate accountability to stakeholders.
The key takeaways from this episode:
- How CISOs can balance AI innovation with risk management
