About this podcast
What is Project Cyber Ready? We are on a national mission to build the ultimate, replicable blueprint for cyber readiness. By researching what is actually working across the country and sharing those stories, we are piecing together the master plan to figure out exactly what is needed to solve this problem once and for all.
We don’t have a technology problem; we have a readiness problem.
Over the last decade, billions of dollars have been invested in the cybersecurity landscape. We built the labs, designed the ranges, launched the certifications, and bought the software. We already have the tools we need to protect our digital world.
But we still have a massive gap.
The breakdown isn't our tools; it is how we operate. It’s how we hire, how we use our existing infrastructure, and how we educate our communities.
That is the driving force behind the Project Cyber Ready podcast.
