Where the most personal moments in cybersecurity are shared over fire and food.
About the Show
Cooking with CISOs is a cinematic, human-first video series that brings together CISOs and security-minded tech leaders to cook their favorite dish and share what doesn’t get said on stage, in webinars and podcasts, or in sales decks.
Our Mission
To bring trust, vulnerability, and human connection back into cybersecurity by showing the humans behind the titles and the truths behind the tech.
Why Join Us in the Kitchen?
Get In Front of the Hardest-to-Reach Audience in Cyber
Reach senior security leaders who ignore vendor outreach—but show up for real, human, experience-driven stories.
Activate the CISO Social Graph Without Cold Outreach
Tap into warm, high-trust networks through real CISO hosts and guests, creating organic visibility no outbound sequence can match.
Get Embedded in Trusted Conversations
Show up where CISOs feel safe to share what they actually think—earning relevance, credibility, and emotional stickiness.
Create Evergreen, High-Leverage Content Assets
Turn one episode into months of buyer-ready clips, reels, and narratives that fuel your demand gen, sales enablement, and brand channels.
Position Your Brand as Buyer-Aligned and Human-First
Demonstrate that you listen before you sell—aligning your brand with authenticity, respect, and genuine value for security leaders.
Accelerate Sales Cycles Through Buyer-Led Credibility
Shorten the trust gap by letting CISOs hear about you from peers—not pitches—so your outreach lands warmer and closes faster.

“It felt like spending time with family. "
From the moment he stepped into the kitchen, it wasn’t about scripted questions or surface-level security talk. It was about being seen, being human, and connecting over real stories, struggles, and joy.

“The format made it so easy to connect quickly, without forcing it."
This is what makes Cooking with CISOs different: you’re not just talking about security, you’re living the human side of it - mistakes, laughter, empathy, and connection—all while cooking together.

"It doesn't feel as formal and stuffy. You can be a little more vulnerable."
I avoid most podcasts and was nervous about cooking on camera. Something about the kitchen environment - the natural act of preparing food together - created a completely different dynamic.

"Allows for people to come together in a way that truly connects you."
Cooking with CISOs is changing how security professionals connect - moving beyond surface-level networking to create lasting relationships built on shared human experiences.
