What We're Watching
in Cybersecurity & IT.
Executive perspectives on the talent, technology, and leadership forces shaping enterprise security.
CISO Leadership
The CISO Mandate Has Shifted: Why Security Leaders Now Report to the Board, Not the CIO
The reporting line for the modern CISO is no longer a technical question. It's a governance decision with direct implications for risk posture, budget authority, and organizational credibility. Here's what we're seeing on the ground across Fortune 100 searches.
AI & Workforce
AI Is Not Replacing Security Teams. It's Creating a Two-Tier Talent Market.
Organizations fluent in AI tooling are moving faster. Those that aren't are falling behind on hiring and retention simultaneously.
IAM
Why IAM Programs Stall at 80%: The Talent Gap No One Is Talking About
SailPoint and Okta implementations don't fail because of the technology. They fail because organizations can't resource the last mile.

In Their Words
What it's like to work with RED SKY.
And what it's like to work here.
Feedback from enterprise security leaders, technology executives, and the people inside RED SKY.
RED SKY is in the company of very few in a crowded cybersecurity and IT industry. Truly flush with innovators and problem solvers, with one of the highest client-centric levels of care that I have ever witnessed. They truly listen, then take action and get results.
The process was streamlined. You understood our business needs, partnered with us, and you delivered top executive and non-executive level talent. I've worked with staffing firms all over North America; you've certainly demonstrated that you're a leader.
It was apparent he cared both about the company and the people whose position he was filling, all the time working hard to make sure the applicant has all the info to put their best foot forward. This is truly the way to place people in positions to succeed.
Everyone here is great. We work hard, but we laugh a lot and have fun. The money combined with the company culture is what will make me stay here for years to come.
Listened to our needs, was fair and ethical in our business dealings, and found us extremely qualified candidates. Personable, professional, and someone who gets the job done using creative approaches when traditional ways are not working.
I have had a great working relationship with RED SKY for many years. They take the time to understand my requirements and find people who meet my needs quickly. Always responsive. I would highly recommend them for your staffing needs.
A driven leader going beyond expectations in finding folks to meet project and staffing needs. Took the time to understand my needs and then leveraged the resources of RED SKY Consulting to assist and get fantastic results.
The ability to make great money, progress in your career, get training, and have work life balance is here. The people are fun, very friendly, and we work in a collaborative team environment. The culture and values are solid.
Always professional, responsive, and more importantly there with the solutions we need, when we need them. They've been a great asset for me in the last two companies I have worked for and I will undoubtedly lean on them in the future.
You know when you receive the candidate information, they will be the highest quality and best fit possible. I used them to find my security architect and could not have found a more perfect candidate.
RED SKY has a deep network of highly skilled individuals even in the tightest of markets. RED SKY does impeccably what I need a partner to do: solve problems.
All of us work harmoniously with each other, and you can be sure that help will come if you need it. Sometimes you don't even need to ask.
