Right of Boom: What Happens When Cybersecurity Prevention Fails
If your organization treats cybersecurity as something IT "handles," you're already behind. The regulators know it. The plaintiffs' attorneys know it. And when the breach happens, your board will discover it the expensive way.
WHY YOU SHOULD LISTEN
Krishan Thakker, a seasoned executive legal advisor, delivers the uncomfortable truths that consultants won't tell you and vendors can't sell you:
- Language Translation: How to speak executive language when technical severity doesn't resonate
- Reverse Engineering Risk: Starting with worst-case scenarios (including criminal liability) to drive urgency
- Responsibility vs. Accountability: Why these aren't the same concept and how HR must map the distinction
- The Growth Trap: How the urge to scale fast creates predictable cycles of reactive security spending
Stop asking your technologists to "figure it out." Start asking your legal team if you have litigation hold protocols that can activate within hours. Ask your compliance officer if responsibilities and accountabilities are clearly mapped across functions.
Because when Krishan Thakker gets the call, these questions have already been answered n depositions, regulatory inquiries, and shareholder lawsuits.
