Your Most Valuable Skills Aren’t Technical
<p>Cybersecurity debates tend to center on tools, frameworks, and threats. But Rob Knoblauch has built a 25-year career in global security leadership by focusing on the soft skills that determine whether a CISO survives, thrives, or burns out. In this episode of The New CISO, Rob joins Steve Moore to trace the through-line from running a multi-node BBS as a kid to serving as Deputy CISO of one of the world’s largest banks — and the career lessons he’s carried through every chapter.</p><p>Rob’s path wasn’t engineered. It began with a VIC-20, a love of video games, and a side passion for DJing that eventually clinched his first big bank interview. Running a BBS taught him identity management, patching, and infrastructure long before those were industry terms, and responding to the Melissa and “I Love You” outbreaks as a twenty-something Toronto Stock Exchange analyst launched his pivot into information security.</p><p>The conversation turns to leading at scale. Rob walks through the three mentors who shaped him — “the teacher” who grounded him in fundamentals at Bank of Montreal, “the coach” who taught him the collaborative nature of global operations at Scotiabank, and “the general” who sharpened his leadership edge. He frames these not as phases but as lenses he still applies situationally today.</p><p>Rob and Steve dig into incident response — from taking down Canada’s first phishing site with no playbook to running tabletop exercises at the board, C-suite, and technical levels. Rob argues every organization needs a breach coach and that communications is the biggest make-or-break factor in a breach. He also offers a candid take on CISO politics — short tenures, CIO friction, and why trust with your boss matters more than being right.</p><p>The episode closes with Rob’s take on why this may be the best time in history to be a new CISO. AI is stripping away the commodity work that defined earlier generations of the role, leaving more room for strategy, leadership, and real influence. For anyone stepping into the seat, Rob’s message is simple: the most valuable skills aren’t technical at all.</p><p><strong>Key Topics</strong></p><p>• Rob’s path from a VIC-20 and a grade-school BBS to the CISO seat</p><p>• How DJing as “Robbie Knobs” clinched his first big bank interview — and why “notables” matter on a resume</p><p>• Taking down the first phishing website in Canada with no playbook and a lot of cold calls</p><p>• The three mentors who shaped his leadership: the teacher, the coach, and the general</p><p>• Why tabletop exercises at the board, C-suite, and technical levels each matter — and how they differ</p><p>• The case for engaging a breach coach before a breach happens, not during one</p><p>• Why communications is the single biggest make-or-break factor in incident response</p><p>• How AI is reshaping the CISO role by stripping away commodity work</p><p></p><p>Guest</p><p><strong>Rob Knoblauch — Chief Information Security Officer</strong></p><p>Rob Knoblauch is a seasoned CISO with 25+ years of global information security leadership. He began his career at the Toronto Stock Exchange during the Y2K era and later held increasingly senior roles at Bank of Montreal and Scotiabank, where he spent years as Deputy CISO and VP of Global Security Services.
