CISO Spotlight: Dimitris Georgiou on Building Security that Serves People First
Security Boulevard, Monday, March 30th, 2026
Dimitris Georgiou has been a self-professed computer geek since the early 80s. At university, he studied the convergence of educational technology with computer science as part of his psychology MA - finding, to his disbelief, that systems were perilously insecure.
Since then, he's always worked in and around cybersecurity. He's had roles as a computer science teacher, a technology manager, and a cybersecurity consultant, before finally landing in his current role: Chief Security Officer at Alphabit Cybersecurity, member of the Softweb Adaptive I.T. Solutions Group of Companies. But he's never forgotten about his humanities background.
In this edition of CISO Spotlight, Dimitris explores the importance of CISOs speaking both technical and business language, his concerns around AI and API security, and the CISO's role in the boardroom.
