Hello Happy People,


Today I am sharing with all of you my interview with the incredible Theresa Payton. 


Theresa Payton, an illustrious figure in the domain of technology and cybersecurity, has carved a niche for herself as a pioneering force and the first female White House Chief Information Officer. Currently, at the helm of Fortalice Solutions, a cybersecurity firm she founded in 2014, Payton dedicates her expertise to safeguarding the digital fortresses of both public and private entities against the ceaseless waves of cyber threats. Recognized as one of the nation’s most esteemed authorities on secured digital transformation, her counsel is highly sought after by boards of Fortune 500 companies, CEOs, and technology executives alike.


Her journey, marked by historical milestones, began with her groundbreaking tenure as the White House Chief Information Officer, where she led and set new benchmarks in the secured digital transformation landscape. Her visionary approach has seen her inventing new security designs and securing a U.S. patent in security, a testament to her innovative spirit and expertise in the field. Theresa Payton's role in the former CBS TV series "Hunted" highlighted her acumen in leading teams, identifying digital tracks and emerging cyber threats, and devising countermeasures. 


Under her leadership, Fortalice Solutions has evolved into a bastion of cybersecurity, offering cutting-edge solutions and strategic advice drawn from her rich tapestry of experiences as a technologist, cybercrime fighter, and entrepreneur. Her unique blend of memorable anecdotes and forward-thinking insights has cemented her status as a luminary in digital security. Her accolades reflect her unparalleled contributions to the field, including being named one of the Top 25 Most Influential People in Security by Security Magazine, the FBI's Director Award for Public Service, and one of the top 50 Cybersecurity Leaders of 2020 by Business Insider.
