MCLEAN, Va., May 6, 2026

The threats targeting the systems, grids, and institutions the world depends on, and the sometimes unconventional paths of the leaders defending them

MCLEAN, Va., May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lock & Key Lounge Podcast hosted by ArmorText – the best cybersecurity podcast for incident response, secure out-of-band communications, and critical infrastructure – is sharing an impressive slate of new guests that will join hosts Navroop Mitter and Matthew Calligan to discuss the decisions that don’t make it into the headlines including leading global security operations when your stakeholder map includes sovereign governments actively sanctioning each other, navigating a CISO career as a Black woman when that path was far from established, and the real-world tradeoffs behind protecting critical infrastructure.

Lock & Key Lounge exists for practitioners who have to act on the headlines, navigate the regulatory maze, and make hard calls when something goes wrong. The podcast takes buzzwords and turns them into real-world knowledge around everything from embedded threat actors, OT cyber threats, and regulatory landmines to the tabletop exercises, incident response, and leadership’s career decisions that define how organizations survive a crisis.

Following a compelling start to 2026 with guests from Dragos, the AI Leadership Institute, the NASDAQ Center for Board Excellence, and more, ArmorText will welcome:

Jameeka Green Aaron, CISSP and CISO, Headspace
Bjørn Watne, Global CISO, Interpol – Podcast now live!
Emma Stewart, Director, Securing Digital Energy Technology, Idaho National Laboratory
Danielle Jablanski, Cybersecurity Consulting Program Lead, STV
Chris Sistrunk, OT Practice Leader, Mandiant (part of Google Cloud)

On the technical side, the new episodes tackle important dynamics in OT security including why OT incidents are rarer than IT incidents and what that actually reveals about threat actor behavior, the OT visibility gap between the tools organizations are buying and the human oversight needed to make sense of them, and the real role renewables play in grid security beyond the political noise.

Conversations will also go beyond technical insights, exploring the unconventional career paths that brought leaders to some of the most significant roles in security today. Bjørn Watne left senior CISO roles at Telenor and Storebrand, two of Scandinavia’s most recognized institutions, to become the Global CISO of INTERPOL, trading a conventional career trajectory for the mission of empowering law enforcement to fight organized crime, human trafficking, and the exploitation of the vulnerable. Jameeka Green Aaron brings a path rooted in a family ethic of hard work and a career built in rooms where she wasn’t always expected to be. These conversations represent a growing thread running through Lock & Key Lounge that highlights the career decisions, pivots, and convictions that don’t make it onto a LinkedIn profile.
