🇺🇸🦅 MEET OUR FEATURED GUEST!

From serving as a Staff Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps to becoming a cybersecurity executive, entrepreneur, and author, Rod Andes has built a career around INTELLIGENCE, DISCIPLINE, ACCOUNTABILITY, and ORGANIZATIONAL RESILIENCE.

With more than three decades of IT experience and extensive cybersecurity leadership experience, Rod is the Founder and CEO of Cybantage, where he helps organizations prepare for the decisions and consequences that follow major cyber incidents.

He is also the author of Surviving What Follows: What Happens After a Cyber Attack — and How to Make Sure Your Company Isn't One of the 31% That Doesn't Recover, available free through Cybantage Resources.

His message challenges a dangerous assumption: PASSING A COMPLIANCE AUDIT DOES NOT GUARANTEE YOUR ORGANIZATION WILL SURVIVE A CYBERATTACK!

 

🎯 WHAT YOU WILL LEARN…

✨ How Marine Corps intelligence and military discipline shaped Rod's leadership philosophy.

✨ What it takes to transition from military service into executive cybersecurity leadership and entrepreneurship.

✨ Why cybersecurity is not simply an IT problem but a BOARDROOM, FINANCIAL, LEGAL, and LEADERSHIP responsibility.

✨ What happens during the critical first 72 hours after a major cyberattack.

✨ Why cyber insurance, compliance certifications, and technical controls alone cannot guarantee organizational survival.

✨ How executives can establish decision authority, strengthen accountability, and prepare their organizations BEFORE a crisis strikes.

✨ Leadership lessons from Rod's book, Surviving What Follows, and practical steps leaders can take TODAY.

✨ How AI, emerging threats, and an increasingly interconnected world are changing the future of cyber resilience.
