Cyber resilience doesn't start in the SOC — it starts in the boardroom.

In this episode of Experiments in Leadership, we unpacks why cybersecurity oversight is now a core board responsibility, not just an IT problem. We break down what it actually takes for directors to move from passive risk reporting to actively driving the culture, investment, and accountability that make an organization cyber resilient, including the questions every board should be asking, and the blind spots that leave companies exposed.

If you're a board member, executive, or security leader trying to close the gap between governance and cyber readiness, this one's for you.
