The Application Security Podcast Jim Routh -- The CISO Transition to the rest of life
Former CISO Jim Routh discusses his perspective on retirement and career fulfillment in cybersecurity. Rather than viewing retirement as simply stopping work, Routh describes his three-filter approach: working only with people he respects and admires, doing only work he finds fulfilling, and controlling when he works. He shares valuable lessons learned about which post-retirement opportunities truly bring satisfaction and explains why he avoids certain roles. Routh emphasizes the importance of cybersecurity professionals taking ownership of their career development, recommending they focus on developing two specific skills annually rather than using tenure to guide career moves.
