# The Cybersecure CEO

Boston Consulting Group (Jul 22, 2024) "The Cybersecure CEO" by Pete Engardio argues tougher regulatory oversight and the soaring cost of major data breaches have elevated cybersecurity to a strategic priority for CEOs and boards. CEOs do not need to learn the technical weeds but must hold an in-depth discussion with boards and regulators about the company's "crown jewels" — assets that, if attacked, would cause the most serious damage — and what is required to protect them. The author urges a "secure by design" approach so security is embedded in new tools and AI systems from conception rather than retrofitted. Directly relevant for SEA mid-market CEOs whose AI rollouts outpace their cyber-readiness conversations.
