Lost in Translation: Turning Cyber Risk Into Executive Action (Ep. 3)

Lost in Translation: Turning Cyber Risk Into Executive Action (Ep. 3)

Cybersecurity doesn’t fail because of weak tools. It fails because of weak translation. When executives hear acronyms instead of impact, critical decisions stall. In this episode of Zero Trust Issues, host Tony Pietrocola, President and Co-founder of AgileBlue, and co-host Joe Marquette, AgileBlue CEO and Co-founder, sit down with seasoned CISO Lee Buttke to unpack one of the most overlooked risks in modern cybersecurity: the communication gap between technical teams and business leadership. Drawing from real-world incident experience, Lee shares how overly technical reporting during a breach created confusion at the executive level, and what security leaders should focus on instead. Key Takeaways: Why cyber acronyms like TTPs can derail executive understanding The difference between technical reporting and business impact reporting How to communicate containment, exposure, and operational disruption clearly Why cybersecurity maturity frameworks create alignment across leadership How assigning a monetary value to cyber risk drives smarter decisions The role of the CISO in elevating cybersecurity conversations to the board level Why resilience in 2026 depends on proactive communication, not reactive defense And more!
