Leadership churn is reshaping security from the top down. We open the door on why CISO tenures are shrinking to 18–26 months and what that says about pressure, culture, compensation, and board-level risk literacy. From startups that stretch leaders thin to enterprises that treat security as a cost center until the breach, we map the real incentives behind the “revolving door”—and share what actually extends tenure: clear mandates, aligned executives, and measurable outcomes.
Then we flip to hands-on security with a crisp CISSP Domain 5 deep dive. You’ll hear real-world IAM scenarios and how to reason through them: federated identity where users authenticate but can’t access apps (hint: attribute-to-role mapping at the service provider), RBAC implementations that quietly violate least privilege, and when mandatory access control beats RBAC or ABAC for classified environments. We also dissect deprovisioning gaps that leave terminated users active in SaaS platforms and outline the operational fixes—source-of-truth integration, event-driven provisioning, and reconciliation from the SaaS side. To cap it off, we tackle a red-team classic: static admin creds in scripts. The modern answer isn’t longer passwords; it’s just-in-time privilege through PAM and secret vaulting so nothing sensitive sits on disk.
If you’re a senior technologist eyeing the CISO seat—or a CISO seeking sustainability—you’ll get a blueprint for aligning authority, resources, and risk. And if you’re prepping for the CISSP exam, these identity and access patterns will sharpen your instincts for both test day and production. Enjoy the conversation, and if it helps, subscribe, share it with a teammate, and leave a quick review so others can find it too.
