Ryan Knisley, Axonious | RSAC 2025

Ryan Knisley, chief product strategist at Axonius, joins theCUBE’s Jackie McGuire and John Furrier at the RSAC 2025 Conference to discuss how CISOs can do more with less in an increasingly complex security landscape. Drawing on experience at companies such as Costco and Disney, Knisley shares a pragmatic take on today’s CISO priorities. The conversation explores how budget pressure and tool sprawl challenge security teams trying to maintain visibility and control. Knisley explains how Axonius helps unify data and improve decision-making by focusing on actionable intelligence over volume. The discussion also touches on the cultural shift toward more collaborative security strategies across teams. The conversation provides a grounded look at how leaders are adapting to change while keeping security operations aligned and effective.
