Risk, Power, and Influence: What It Really Takes to Lead in Cyber

​In this episode of 2 Cyber Chicks, Jax sits down with Tashya Denose, a senior cybersecurity leader, bestselling author, podcaster, and board member of Black Girls in Cyber.

​Tashya has built her career securing some of the most complex environments, from the Pentagon and the U.S. Secret Service to Capital One, Google, and now Meta, where she works at the intersection of risk, governance, and emerging technology.

​In this candid conversation, we explore:

• ​Why compliance doesn’t always equal security

• ​How leaders should think about risk across government, finance, and Big Tech

• ​What it takes to influence decisions when security isn’t the loudest voice

• ​The human cost of burnout—and how to build a sustainable career in cyber

• ​Why belonging and community directly impact security outcomes

​This episode is a must-listen for security leaders, practitioners, and anyone navigating the real-world tension between frameworks, risk, and reality.
