ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
CISOs spend careers preparing for incidents they hope never happen. Here's what it looks like when one does.
Each episode of The Tabletop puts a security leader into a high-stakes, tabletop exercise—complete with evolving injects, tough tradeoffs, and no idea whether the incident they're navigating is ripped from the headlines or completely fictional. At the end, they have to guess.
Fast-paced and hosted by Vanta's Khush Kashyap, The Tabletop is a rare, front-row seat to how the best security minds in the world actually think, prioritize, and make critical decisions under pressure.
It’s part game, part masterclass—designed to entertain, educate, and showcase the real-world complexity of modern security leadership.
