EEGAD: Boardroom Cybersecurity Cohort Comments

The first few cohorts of executives taking the course are completed. Some of their comments and feedback are shared below.

Course pre-read lectures

"I found some of the readings more intuitive than others, meaning I got them pretty quickly, and some were a little more dense. So it took multiple views like I had to go back."

Technical Terms

"...when I was learning the technical terms, it took me some time to integrate my new knowledge about the technical terms and then incorporate them into the concepts I was learning."

Excellent Demeanor

"You have an excellent demeanor and your asides and quirkiness are great for this group..."

Happy to Advertise

"I am happy to advertise this to the Board Service group of Chief. There are enough women there who will bombard you that you will be sustained for several years!"

Infinite and Impossible

"I wouldn't say it keeps me up at night, but it's just... I'm very concerned about all of these things, and the only thing I'll say is, it feels a little bit infinite and impossible for a company like mine to effectively protect ourselves."

The Infinite Mindset

"Some games have a winner, and they have an end, and they have a score. Maybe in soccer there is a tie. But there's still an end to the game. Cyber Security is an infinite game." Reference: James P. Carse Finite and Infinite Games: A Vision of Life as Play and Possibility  January 1986
