From Public Service to Global Security: A CISO’s Journey | Root to CISO Podcast
In the Season 2 finale of Root to CISO, we sit down with Dr. Alissa “Dr. Jay” Abdullah, Deputy Chief Security Officer at Mastercard and former Deputy CIO of the White House under President Obama. Her path to cybersecurity was anything but traditional, pivoting into mathematics, cryptography, and ultimately some of the most high-profile technology and security leadership roles in the world. Dr. Jay shares how her foundation in public service shaped her leadership style, why moving between public and private sectors strengthened her perspective, and the common thread that has guided her career: a passion for technology and cybersecurity.
