I had observed that the worst breakdowns were caused by new technology forcing the business to change and had deliberately acquired skills to avoid and to manage those breakdowns. My skills were needed for a multi-year, multi million-dollar cyber program sponsored by the Board of Directors of a Fortune 500 critical infrastructure enterprise. That’s when I discovered the strong business case for cybersecurity. My superpower is to articulate the why and how of that business case in ways which have consistently made sense to a wide range of senior business leaders.
