Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT concern — it’s a business-critical issue that’s commanding serious attention in boardrooms across the JAPAC region.

In this episode of Cyber Dialogues, Riccardo Galbiati, Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer for JAPAC at Palo Alto Networks, sits down with Brad Howarth to explore how security leaders can better align with business strategy — and how to make cyber risk a conversation everyone at the table understands.

From translating technical threats into financial language to bridging gaps between CISOs and CFOs, Riccardo shares real-world strategies for making cybersecurity a driver of business resilience.

Key themes include:

• Why CISOs must speak the language of risk, reputation, and resilience

• How to secure buy-in from executive leadership and boards

• What works (and what doesn’t) when building a culture of security

• How to shift from reactive defense to proactive strategy

• The evolving role of AI in both threat detection and attacker capabilities

If you’re a CISO looking to influence at the highest levels — or a business leader seeking to understand cyber risk through a strategic lens — this episode is essential listening.
