In Episode 2 of The Global CISO Podcast, host Chuck Herrin welcomes Hitesh Patel, F5 Field CTO and fellow million-miler, to decode the mindset shift behind effective automation.  

They explore why automation starts with intent – not tools – and how a “bias toward automating first” can transform daily operations. 

They get specific: using declarative APIs to reduce complexity, evaluating vendors based on API quality and observability, tips for managing technical debt, and strategies for building an automated security workflow that survives production. 

Whether you're a new CTO or a seasoned security leader, tune in for insights on leading with automation, demanding more from your vendors, and creating headroom for innovation.

He unpacks the four forces reshaping the attack surface—API vulnerabilities and exposures, AI-accelerated cyber threats, geopolitical shifts disrupting supply chain security, and post quantum computing.  

In this series, Chuck explores what defenders must do to stay agile in an era of exponential change. You’ll learn how to regain control of API inventories, mitigate emerging AI-driven attack vectors, plan realistic PQC migrations, and build resilience into multicloud architectures. 

Tune in for a no-hype, real-world look at what works, what doesn’t, and how CISOs can lead with resilience.
