"How to Win Board Buy In on Cybersecurity: Two CEOs' Playbook"

Join Raluca Saceanu, CEO of Smarttech247, and Danny Jenkins, CEO of ThreatLocker, for a straight-talking discussion on how cybersecurity should be addressed at the board level. They will share the top risks facing businesses in 2025, how to translate threats into business language, and the metrics and ROI boards expect to see when evaluating security investments.

In many organizations, the most challenging part of strengthening cybersecurity is not identifying the threats or selecting the right technology. The real hurdle is securing the board’s commitment to act. For CEOs, CISOs and other senior leaders, winning board buy-in is about far more than technical accuracy. It requires translating cyber risk into business risk, presenting a clear return on investment, and demonstrating how security decisions protect revenue, brand reputation and long-term growth.

How to Win Board Buy In on Cybersecurity: Two CEOs’ Playbook brings together two experienced leaders — Raluca Saceanu, CEO of Smarttech247, and Danny Jenkins, CEO of ThreatLocker — to share how they navigate these high-stakes conversations. Both have spent years operating at the intersection of business strategy and cybersecurity, advising boards in regulated and customer-sensitive sectors. In this session, they will provide a practical, real-world framework for turning boardroom skepticism into active support.

The conversation will begin with the evolving threat landscape, drawing on research from the Smarttech247 Security Operations Centre and ThreatLocker’s global insights. Attendees will hear about the latest attack trends, the impact of ransomware, and how groups like Scattered Spider are changing the game. The CEOs will explain why these developments matter to business leaders and how they should be factored into board-level discussions.

The session will then turn to making security a boardroom priority. This means showing how executives can align security initiatives with business goals and present them in ways that resonate with shareholders and decision-makers. The speakers will cover what information to report to the board, why it matters, and how to use measurable outcomes — such as reduced downtime costs, improved client retention, and avoided regulatory penalties — to demonstrate ROI.

Finally, the discussion will address why identity is now the top attack target and what that means for corporate security strategies. Attendees will learn how to frame identity threats as a business risk, outline effective defense and response measures, and communicate their importance in protecting both operational resilience and brand trust.

This webinar is designed with the CEO mindset in mind. Our target audience is not looking to become cybersecurity experts. They want to understand where the business is exposed, what it will cost to address that exposure, and how solutions will strengthen the company’s position with clients, regulators and investors.

By attending, executives will gain a clear, actionable strategy for securing board-level buy-in, whether advocating for new technology, expanding an existing program or shifting the company’s security posture to meet new threats. They will leave with a playbook for preparing impactful board presentations, choosing the right metrics to track progress, and sustaining stakeholder confidence over time.

Whether you are a CEO, CISO, COO or another executive tasked with protecting your organization, this session will help you elevate the conversation, secure the resources you need, and position cybersecurity as a strategic advantage in today’s fast-changing threat landscape.
