Here, we follow the Prime Directive of Risk Management: No decision or strategy moves forward without understanding its impact on our goals, our resilience, and our values. Because risk isn’t the enemy, it’s the mission. After all, risk is our business.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-14T06:21:20.006849+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/risk-is-our-business-7345884"},"episode":{"title":"Beyond the Security Console: Digital Risk and Resilience on the Bridge with Christopher Hetner","slug":"beyond-the-security-console-digital-risk-and-resilience-on-the-bridge-with-christopher-hetner","published_at":"2026-01-12T18:50:12+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/risk-is-our-business-7345884/beyond-the-security-console-digital-risk-and-resilience-on-the-bridge-with-christopher-hetner","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/risk-is-our-business-7345884","url":"https://riskisourbusiness.podbean.com/e/tbds2e2/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/f5ecqrk9xgrfi3sc/Risk_Is_Our_Business_Season_2_Episode_2_mixdown96f7x.mp3","summary":"In this episode of Risk Is Our Business, Captain Michael Rasmussen is joined by Christopher Hetner, Senior Cyber Risk Advisor serving the boardroom community and former senior cybersecurity advisor to the Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The conversation opens by tackling a deceptively simple question: what do we even call this space anymore? Information security, IT security, cybersecurity, cyber risk, digital risk, digital resilience — are these distinct disciplines with meaningful nuance, or different labels for the same underlying reality?

The discussion reframes the modern CISO not as a narrow security operator, but as a steward of digital risk and resilience in a world where every function, product, and decision carries a digital footprint. They explore the dangers of cybersecurity leaders operating in isolation, the limits of traditional security-centric models, and why cyber risk can no longer live on its own island. The conversation then turns to the boardroom, what directors tend to understand about cyber and digital risk, where gaps remain, and how risk leaders can engage boards more effectively by shifting from technical reporting to strategic navigation.
