In addition to his personal journey, the book also explores the history of major technology advancements and significant security events occurring from 1971 through 2017. This provides valuable context for understanding how the landscape of cybersecurity has evolved over the decades. Building on these experiences, the book examines the evolution of the CISO role itself. Readers follow the progression from the role’s early inception to its current status as a true business leadership position. Each level makes the book accessible and engaging for both general readers and professionals.
From his humble beginnings as a homeless college dropout, Ron Baklarz went on to become an “overnight success” after sixteen years of night school. He spent thirty years in leading cybersecurity roles at iconic organizations such as the Naval Nuclear Program, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the American Red Cross. Along the way, he pursued professional certifications and received numerous awards that recognized his achievements in building “first of a kind” cybersecurity programs, often with limited resources and budgets. Baklarz holds an M.S. degree in Information Science and a Certificate of Advanced Study in Telecommunications, both from the University of Pittsburgh. He has also earned professional certifications in cyber forensics, CISSP, CISA, CISM, and the National Security Agency’s NSA-IAM and NSA-IEM certifications.
