Cybersecurity isn’t just about technology—it’s about leadership.
In this episode of Go Beyond the Connection, Javed Ikbal breaks down how misalignment at the executive level weakens even the most well-funded cybersecurity programs.
Drawing on decades of experience in security leadership, Javed explains why CISOs must stop speaking in technical terms and start communicating business risk. He shares examples of how cultural gaps, unclear roles, and competing priorities leave companies vulnerable—and how to turn that around.
What you’ll learn:
“If security is getting in the way of business, business will go around security. Every time.”
