Show notes

In this episode of On the Right Stack, host Jason Cohen sits down with Joshua Brown, a seasoned CISO and cybersecurity leader with more than 25 years of technology experience.The conversation debunks the "dark art" of technical security, reframing cyber risk as a critical business problem rather than just an IT issue. Joshua cuts through the current AI hype, breaks down why compliance programs are failing to produce better security outcomes, and highlights why the best defense is mastering unsexy basics like patch management. He also shares firsthand leadership lessons on managing a crisis, earning credibility at the board table, and avoiding the trap of becoming the "department of no."
