In this episode, Matthew Connor hosts Christos Ruci, CIO of Limbach, as they discuss the critical overlap between infrastructure and cybersecurity. Christos shares his unique career path—from AOL customer support to CIO of a national building solutions provider—highlighting how each role shaped his approach to IT leadership. At Limbach, he has adopted a business-first perspective, ensuring that every technology decision aligns with company strategy and mission.
A central focus of the conversation is Christos’s proactive approach to cybersecurity, especially his effective use of tabletop exercises. Recognizing the impact of a potential cyber incident on critical environments like hospitals and data centers, he organized a comprehensive tabletop exercise with Limbach’s C-level executives and board members. This hands-on method created urgency and buy-in, setting the foundation for Limbach’s robust three-year cybersecurity strategy.
Christos also discusses the importance of fostering a security-conscious company culture, with regular phishing tests and cybersecurity training emphasized from the top down. Supporting his mission, he collaborates with Inspire CIO, a peer-led organization that fosters professional growth and shared industry wisdom. Christos advocates for a balanced approach that leverages both internal development and external expertise, enhancing Limbach’s cybersecurity resilience and operational success.
