Subject: United Airlines CISO DeNeen Defiore on Shaping the Cyber Narrative

Inside the communications playbook of a Hall of Fame CSO

When we sat down for a recent episode of the Tech Whisperers podcast, Hall of Fame CISO Deneen DeFiore emphasized the importance of communication and storytelling in her role. When you bring clarity to the complex topics related to cybersecurity, you’ll get more buy-in for your initiatives and people will be able to connect what you’ve said to the work they’re doing.


After the show, Deneen spent some more time digging into her communication playbook, sharing how she shapes the narrative around cyber and its value to the business as well as the metrics she uses to tell the story.
