Cyber Security Byte: Saturday, April 26th, 2025
CEOs are losing sleep over this...
Happy Saturday! 😎
Cybersecurity isn’t just about firewalls and passwords anymore, it’s about trust, plain and simple. Nearly half of CEOs admit they wouldn’t know how to defend their company’s reputation after a breach, and that’s where tech leaders come in. It’s not enough to keep the lights on… you’re expected to be the voice of calm, the face of resilience, and the reason customers stick around.
In a world where one breach can tank loyalty overnight, leadership is deeply personal.
