The Cybersecurity CEO Podcast

Most cybersecurity podcasts are made by technical people, for technical people. CEOs don't listen to them. Frankly, neither do I.

The Cyber CEO is different. I'm Robert O'Brien, a tech founder who has spent 30 years building, scaling and selling businesses, including MetaCompliance, the security awareness platform I grew to over 200 people before its sale to European private equity. I've lived on the inside of organisations where cybersecurity was taken seriously and others where it absolutely wasn't. I know what the difference looks like, and I know what it costs.

This podcast exists because the conversation about cybersecurity keeps happening at the wrong level. Every week, I sit down with CEOs, board members and business leaders to talk about what it actually takes to build an organisation that won't be taken out by a breach, a scam or a supply chain failure. No jargon, no scare tactics, no technical rabbit holes. Just honest conversations about leadership, accountability and what a cyber-first culture looks like in practice.

If you run a business and you've quietly wondered whether you're doing enough, this is the podcast for you. And if your answer is "my IT team handles that", then it's especially the podcast for you.
