- The value of historical analogies in explaining cybersecurity
- Board-level communication: Making cyber risk understandable and actionable
- Managing technical debt and legacy systems in fast-moving environments
- Building observability and setting baselines for network health
- The balance of security and privacy in compliance and operations
