Threat Vector | Communicating Cyber Risk Effectively to Your Board

dmoulton — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 16:00:00 GMT

In this episode of Threat Vector, host David Moulton speaks with Abby Adlerman, CEO of Boardspan, about how boards approach cybersecurity oversight. Drawing on decades of experience advising Fortune 100 companies and non-profits, Abby shares the ORS framework—Oversight, Accountability, Risk, and Strategy—as a practical guide for engaging boards on cyber risk.

She explains how CISOs can balance detail with clarity, meet board members where they are, and frame cybersecurity as a strategic business enabler rather than a cost center. Listeners will learn how to prepare for meaningful board discussions, avoid common pitfalls, and strengthen business resilience through governance, storytelling, and crisis preparedness.
