Cyber risk used to be the kind of problem you could delegate. Something for the CISO, the IT team, and maybe an external auditor to worry about once a year. That comfort zone is gone. In the last decade, a new reality has set in: a single cyber incident can erase hundreds of millions of […]
High turnover and burnout are reshaping the 2026 cybersecurity landscape, forcing leaders to prioritize compensation, AI integration, and mental health to retain top talent.
From cybersecurity breaches to natural disasters, disruptive events can occur suddenly and without warning. As a result, it is crucial for organizations to develop resilient plans that not only respond to incidents in real time but also ensure long-term operational survivability. This article examines the concepts of incident response and business continuity, exploring their differences […]
What happened West Virginia approved legislation that gives the state’s chief information security officer greater authority to lead and standardize cybersecurity efforts across state government. Gov. Patrick Morrisey signed the measure on Thursday. The law directs the state’s Cybersecurity Office, led by Leroy Amos within the Office of Technology, to develop statewide cybersecurity policies and […]
The Artemis II mission, bringing humans back to the Moon, had a successful launch today! An amazing cumulation of efforts to manage the mindboggling combination of risks to push a massive rocket into space, in preparation for a trip to orbit the Moon.
Such endeavors come with tremendous risks, which a world-class team works to minimize, but some residual aspects remain and are accepted.
Congratulations to the entire NASA team!
Cybersecurity Can Learn
The cybersecurity industry can learn many lessons from today’s Artemis II achievement.
Having strategic capabilities with clear objectives, resources, and accountability is key:
1. Prediction: Understanding the broad scope of risks, which are likely, and how best to manage them.
2. Prevention: Essential to mitigate the greatest risks that could lead to catastrophe.
3. Detection: Constant monitoring to identify problems as they arise and give the best opportunities to react in a timely manner.
4. Response: Well-rehearsed actions that intercept problems to minimize overall impact.
Lessons from each area create a feedback loop into the process, to make it stronger and more adaptive over time.
Establish and maintain an enduring cybersecurity strategy. Don’t rely on disconnected tactical efforts, as they will underperform over time.
If you need advisement, assistance is out there, reach out to industry leaders.
Overview As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve and become more sophisticated, the need for comprehensive preparedness has never been more critical. Tabletop exercises are essential for testing and refining incident response plans, enhancing coordination between departments, and staying ahead of malicious actors. In this article, we outline seven tabletop exercise scenarios that cybersecurity teams should […]
Today’s CISO is a strategic leader responsible for risk communication, security culture, education, and executive alignment. Technical expertise remains essential, but influence, clarity, and leadership now define success.
