Best one-line takeaway from Jeff Luna's speaking session FutureCon CyberSecurity Events in Baltimore last..."If it can't be defended in the boardroom, it won't be funded." With so many cyber tools already in the stack, and countless others available, boards are asking tough questions. Jeff addressed it in his session, "Beyond the Dashboard: Translating 2026 Cyber Risks into Boardroom ROI." Stay tuned, Centripetal will be hosting an encore digital event featuring this topic. 🔥 #cyberintelligence, #threatintelligence #cyberROI #CISO #SecOps #cyberBoardofDirectors

AI is racing ahead. The real question is: how do you keep it trusted, safe, and useful without slowing it down? Think in terms of the Five Cs: Clarity – know what AI you’re using Collaboration – make it everyone’s job Controls – put up guardrails, not roadblocks Culture – turn policies into habits Continuous assurance – test and monitor nonstop Governance isn’t the brake pedal. It’s the steering wheel. Which of these do you see organizations missing the most? Looking forward to this ISACA event in NYC next week. Stop by and connect during my session. See you there.

Hey Chief Marketing Officers, She was frustrated. “Our team is invisible to @90% of the executives in our top accounts. Sure, we have a few exceptions. I know we don’t have an executive track at our user conference, or CISO Dinners, and we didn’t do the RSA platinum sponsorship this year..” But that’s NOT why her team isn’t connecting with these customer executives. I’d just gotten off a call with this CMO. She’s brilliant. Strategic. And frustrated. I told her this: It’s not your Programs. This starts with your PEOPLE. 🤼 There are many components to the People equation- here are a few: If you're a security company, do you have field CISOs or CTOs mapped to your top accounts? If you're in fintech, are your industry strategists and experts in the room, or even in the text threads where renewal decisions are being made? Do you have an Executive Sponsor Program that's the ARROW to create a unified executive customer journey for your Top Accounts? One that delivers the right program to the right executive at the right time? Because here’s what’s changed: 👉 The average B2B deal now has 22 people involved. Up from 4. 👉 AI is compressing sales cycles and inflating buyer expectations. It’s no longer about owning the funnel. It's about matching the tempo of buying behavior. 👉 Execs don’t want another dinner. They want their ride-or-die co-pilot. Someone who answers the red phone, reads the road ahead, and helps them successfully hit the apex at speed.” I know you want to be relevant with the C-suite! So great news....you don’t need "another" marketing program. You need a relationship map. The fastest route to winning with CxOs? Start building today, an executive-to-executive relationship PROGRAM (not just an executive mapping exercise in Salesforce) before risk hits, and before your competitor does. Don’t just protect renewals. Earn loyalty. Build influence. Dominate your category with an Executive Sponsor Program sponsored by your CEO. Are your people in position in your Top Accounts? I’ve designed and delivered 20+ Executive Sponsor Programs in the Global 2000. Yeah…I’ve been doing this work for 24 years.  If you want to be the brand executives turn to when the road gets fast and foggy, now’s your time:-) The CMO's I work with are building relevance at speed. Accelerating deals, locking in renewals, and earning trusted-seat status in every Top Account. My Executive Sponsor Program is your pit crew for relevance with executives. We match your top minds to your top accounts, so you're not just in the race… you're pulling ahead. Let’s build the engine behind your market leadership. Send me a message. Let’s talk. PS> I race vintage and modern cars and was feeling FIRED up when I got off this call.  🏁 PPS> That photo is of me in Italy! 🇮🇹 #ExecutiveSponsorProgram #EnterpriseSales #ExecutiveCustomerEngagement #CMOInsights #BrandRelevance

🚨 Phishing Alert in K-12: NJDOE Impersonation Campaign 🚨 The NJCCIC recently flagged a phishing attack targeting school districts by impersonating the NJ Department of Education. At first glance, the email looks official: ✔️ Subject: NJDOESECURE: Charitable Grant Details Report ✔️ NJDOE logos and formatting ✔️ A button to View Grant Details Report Here’s the catch: ⚠️ Users are led to a fake login page ⚠️ Attackers steal credentials and MFA codes ⚠️ The “secure document” never appears Why it matters? K-12 districts are prime targets because attackers know: 🔴 Educators juggle too many priorities 🔴 IT teams are often understaffed and underfunded 🔴 Grants and funding emails are perfect social-engineering lures 📊 The FBI IC3 Report shows nearly 1 in 3 ransomware attacks last year hit education, with phishing as the leading entry point. 💡 3 key takeaways for K-12 security teams: 1️⃣ Don’t trust, verify unexpected requests 2️⃣ Harden email defenses beyond legacy tools 3️⃣ Act fast: reset credentials, revoke tokens, and check inbox rules 👉 The bigger picture: Email is still the #1 attack vector in education. Teachers shouldn’t have to spot every fake. At Abnormal AI, we help school districts stop these attacks by blocking advanced phishing, account takeovers, and social engineering that slip past traditional defenses. 💬 If you’re seeing the same threats in your school system and want to stop them, let’s connect.
