Meet the Optimizer:
Alyssa Miller

Meet Alyssa Miller, CISO at Epiq. Methodical and tenacious by nature, she cut through a maze of disconnected systems and hidden assets to create a single source of truth. With a unified view across thousands of devices, identities, and cloud resources, Alyssa’s team can now spot gaps instantly, eliminate inefficiencies, and solve problems faster. By simplifying the complex, she’s helping Epiq run smoother, smarter, and more securely.

Why Alyssa Is an Agent of Action

Alyssa Miller defines leadership through alignment. She consistently connects cybersecurity outcomes to business outcomes, bridging security and engineering, controls and innovation, risk reduction and customer experience.

Her philosophy is simple and direct: cybersecurity must empower the business.

For Alyssa, action depends on how security shows up. When it becomes a blocker, momentum stalls. When it becomes a bridge, buy-in grows—and action scales.

That mindset starts with visibility. With more than 20 years in cybersecurity, Alyssa has seen the same challenge everywhere: organizations trying to protect what they can’t fully see. At Epiq, she leads with clarity first, knowing that security can only move as fast as its understanding of the environment.

As CISO, Alyssa applies that principle across Epiq’s complex, hybrid environment—turning visibility into alignment, and alignment into decisive action.

Turning Visibility Into Action with Axonius

Epiq was already using Axonius when Alyssa joined, but under her leadership, its role expanded significantly.

For Alyssa, Axonius isn’t just a data aggregation tool—it’s the foundation that powers everything else.

By integrating cloud platforms, infrastructure tools, security systems, and operational data sources, Axonius gives her team a correlated, real-time view of the entire asset estate. That visibility becomes actionable the moment something goes wrong.

When a zero-day vulnerability emerges, Axonius helps Epiq answer the critical questions fast:

• Where does this software exist?
• Is it internal or externally exposed?
• What’s running on top of it?
• And most importantly—who owns it?

That connection between signal and owner is what turns alerts into outcomes.

A Message to CISOs Still Slowing the Business Down

Alyssa’s advice to other security leaders is simple but pointed: security can’t succeed if it only talks about risk. To drive real change, CISOs have to build bridges to engineering, to operations, and to the business itself.

That philosophy defines Alyssa as an Agent of Action. She doesn’t accept security as a blocker, an afterthought, or a checkbox. She pushes her teams to innovate, adapt, and rethink outdated models—especially when new technology doesn’t fit neatly into old frameworks.

The Connector & Innovator

Bridging security and business. Enabling action at scale.

Alyssa embodies the Connector archetype by aligning cybersecurity with Epiq’s broader strategy using Axonius as a shared source of truth that brings teams together around data, not debate.

She’s also an Innovator, constantly challenging traditional security approaches to better support modern development, faster deployments, and real-world risk tolerance. Instead of slowing teams down, she focuses on building systems that allow Epiq to move quickly and recover even faster.
