Securing The Future: Embracing Cloud-Centric Cybersecurity Strategies
Forbes, August 8, 2023

Forbes, July 3, 2023
Summary:
As regulators increase expectations for operational resilience, boards are seeking directors who understand the intersection of technology, risk, and business continuity. This article outlines why cybersecurity expertise is becoming a strategic differentiator in boardrooms — and how resilience, not regulatory compliance, is emerging as the new fiduciary frontier.
My current work — the Executive Brief, the upcoming full ROD white paper, and subsequent research — builds directly on these ideas and expands them into a unified, evidence-based framework.
