Cybersecurity leader and author George Finney joins Ann on this week’s episode of Afternoon Cyber Tea to explore how trust, communication, and culture shape effective security leadership. Drawing on his experience in higher education and enterprise environments, George explains why Zero Trust succeeds or fails based on people not technology, and how CISOs can better communicate risk to executives and boards. The conversation also dives into AI governance, relatable storytelling as a leadership tool, and why making cybersecurity approachable is essential for building resilient organizations.
