In Episode 111 of the Cybersecurity Readiness Podcast Series, Dr. Dave Chatterjee is joined by Bruno Lecoq, CEO of BEMO, to examine the gap between executive intention and operational security reality in small and medium-sized organizations, and what it costs when resource trade-offs, unclear ownership, and optimism bias quietly undermine programs that look sound on paper.
