How James Robinson went from network engineer to Netskope CISO

SecurityWeek reports that Robinson studied networking at a vocational school and became a network engineer at State Farm, where he moved into security when a planned move to Cisco fell through. He joined Netskope as deputy CISO in 2018 and became CISO in 2024. In the interview, he emphasizes curiosity and persistence in hiring and says team culture and performance concern him more consistently than individual security incidents.
