In this live GPSEC St. Louis episode of The Professional CISO Show, host David Malicoat dives deep into cybersecurity leadership with two powerhouse guests: Victor Wieczorek, SVP of Offensive Security at GuidePoint Security, and Wayne Fajerski, Deputy CISO of Edward Jones.
Victor shares real-world offensive security insights, including a jaw-dropping AI chatbot exploitation story from a red team engagement. He also unpacks how GuidePoint balances professional services and tech enablement while navigating the AI transformation in ethical, human-centered ways.
Wayne, fresh off a panel, breaks down key takeaways around CISO leadership, AI maturity, and how Edward Jones has successfully developed internal cyber talent over his 25-year career. The two guests reflect on AI as a mirror to organizational gaps and explore how GPSEC events bring practitioners and communities closer together through real conversations—not ivory-tower thought leadership.
