Cybersecurity at the Crossroads: Leveling Up for Next Generation Leadership

Art Stewart moderates the first of a two-part extended conversation on the current state of the cybersecurity-risk management profession. With our panel of distinguished women executive leaders, representing a range of experience and expert perspective, we take an unvarnished look at the current state of the profession. In particular we examine how diversity, knowledge, and skills gaps are contributing to the mix of existential security threats for Boards and the public or private companies they govern. (This episode was recorded before the CrowdStrike incident of July, 2024.)
