Cybersecurity Leadership Requires More Than Technology

Cybersecurity increasingly affects legal obligations, insurance, operations, customer trust, and business continuity. That makes it an executive responsibility—not simply an IT assignment.

That perspective guided the SecureNM™ panel at the New Mexico Society of CPAs Annual Technology Conference on August 20.

The discussion brought together professionals from different disciplines to examine a central leadership challenge: executives do not need to become cybersecurity experts, but they do need to understand their responsibilities, assign accountability, and ensure appropriate action is taken.

Thank you to SecureNM™ member panelists Justin Kreinbrink, Joel Long, Greg Sahd, Mike Rogers, and Chris Perkins for contributing their experience and perspectives.

We also thank Jeanette Contreras, Tiffany Gabaldon, and Jennifer Gabaldon for supporting this collaboration among business associations.

Bringing different professional perspectives together helps New Mexico leaders better understand cybersecurity as a business responsibility and strengthens the relationships needed for cyber-safe commerce.
