Episode Synopsis

Andrea Bergamini, VP and CIO of Orbia, started as a telco engineer 20 years ago when cybersecurity barely existed, but went into the field due to his audit work at GE, which sparked his fascination with risk and controls. Fast forward to today, and he's not just the VP and CISO at Orbia—a $8 billion purpose-driven company—but he recently made the leap to CIO as well, adding infrastructure to his security responsibilities. In this conversation, we dive deep into the balance between friction and protection being part of a purpose-driven company, and the importance of taking calculated risks.0:00 Episode highlights and introduction2:16 From telco engineer to CISO: Andrea's cybersecurity journey6:29 Orbia's purpose-driven mission and Andrea’s motivation for joining14:37 The CISO’s next chapter: Becoming a CIO21:44 Handling unmanaged assets and browser security32:10 Navigating the balance between user friction and security40:59 Using an Executive MBA to reopen closed career paths43:57 Why risk taking is crucial for aspiring CISOs🔔 Follow Andrea and Aleksandra on:https://www.linkedin.com/in/bergamini/https://www.linkedin.com/in/aleksandra-melnikova-1012/🔥 Powered by SquareXDeployed as a lightweight extension, SquareX turns any browser, on any device, into a secure enterprise browser.
