In this powerful episode of DTX Unplugged, we sit down with Kam Karaji, Cybersecurity Director at the NFL, whose extraordinary career journey spans from counter-terrorism operations as a decorated police officer, to protecting global digital infrastructure for some of the world's biggest brands.

Now one of the Wall Street Journal’s top 140 CISOs, Kam opens up about what real leadership looks like under pressure - and why building resilient teams means starting with empathy, not technology.

Join hosts Sabrina Berko and Ollie Pickup as they explore:

• Why the biggest transformation challenge is balancing pace with resilience
• The problem with “tech-first” thinking - and how to flip the script
• How tactical police training translates into cyber incident leadership
• Kam’s people-first approach to leadership through life-altering health challenges
• How to calculate the ROI of risk in an uncertain geopolitical climate
• Turning young hackers into cyber defenders through restorative approaches
• Practical steps to build inclusive, psychologically safe security cultures
• Kam’s one piece of advice for leaders about to start their transformation journey
