CYBR.Minded
CYBR.Minded is a cybersecurity podcast for leaders who know risk is not reduced by tools alone. Hosted through the lens of behavioral science, governance, culture, and executive risk, the show explores the human realities behind secure decision-making - from cognitive bias and trust to CISO burnout, board pressure, AI readiness, and the organizational dynamics that shape security outcomes. Built for CISOs, GRC leaders, cyber risk professionals, and board-facing security executives, CYBR.Minded helps listeners look beyond the controls and understand the human side of cybersecurity.
