In this CISO Spotlight conversation, Dan Desko, CEO of Echelon Risk + Cyber, sits down with John O’Rourke, CISO at PPG Industries, to discuss how the security role evolves inside a large, globally distributed manufacturing organization. Drawing on his 18-year career at PPG, John reflects on his transition from software development and M&A integration into security leadership, and how that path shaped his views on risk, governance, and accountability.

The conversation moves beyond tools to the realities of leadership at scale. John shares how his approach changed as threats accelerated, stepping back from day-to-day technical decisions to focus on building strong teams, establishing trust-based operating models, and remaining accountable for outcomes.

He also challenges common assumptions in enterprise security, including the limited return many organizations see from third-party risk questionnaires, and explains why governance quality, process rigor, and clear executive communication often matter more than additional tooling.
