In this episode, we sit down with Rock Lambros, CEO and founder of RockCyber, a cybersecurity consulting firm that specializes in risk management and advisory services. With over two decades of experience, Rock shares his journey from a database administrator to becoming a thought leader in cybersecurity, focusing on aligning security with business strategy. Rock describes how his career pivot after 2001 led him to start RockCyber, a company that helps organizations of all sizes navigate the complexities of cybersecurity in a landscape that is constantly evolving.

Throughout the conversation, Rock emphasizes the importance of bridging the gap between technical cybersecurity measures and business outcomes. He talks about the frustrations many cybersecurity professionals experience when business leaders don't fully grasp the urgency of cybersecurity threats. To address this, Rock pursued an MBA, which allowed him to effectively communicate the business value of security measures to executives. He discusses his co-authored book, The CISO Evolution, which aims to help security leaders align their strategies with business needs without needing an MBA.

Rock also dives into his company's focus on bespoke cybersecurity solutions, sharing how RockCyber tailors its services to meet the unique needs of each client, whether it's a two-person startup or a global manufacturing company. Unlike large consulting firms that apply one-size-fits-all approaches, RockCyber delivers customized strategies based on the specific challenges and scale of each business.

We also explore the evolution of RockCyber's business model. Rock explains how most of their business comes from referrals and word of mouth, making relationship-building a key part of their growth strategy. He also touches on how the firm is adapting to market shifts, particularly in light of rising interest rates that have led some clients to defer projects. To balance the peaks and valleys of consulting revenue, RockCyber is pivoting towards offering more services on a subscription basis to ensure smoother cash flow.

A significant portion of the discussion is dedicated to AI and its role in cybersecurity. Rock shares how AI has improved his productivity tenfold, particularly in risk assessment and report generation. However, he cautions against automating bad processes, highlighting the need for careful governance when implementing AI. As cybersecurity becomes increasingly data-driven, Rock emphasizes that AI can streamline many tasks, but human oversight remains crucial. He also discusses the growing demand for AI governance services, as organizations struggle to define AI strategies and assess the potential risks associated with its use. RockCyber has developed a governance framework based on major standards like the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, the EU AI Act, and Colorado's state-level AI regulations.

For anyone interested in cybersecurity, AI, or the intersection of technology and business strategy, this episode is packed with insights from someone who has been in the trenches for over 25 years. Rock offers valuable advice for security professionals and business leaders alike, stressing the importance of continuous learning and building strong relationships within the industry.
