Chaos, Culture, and Cyber Resilience

About this episode

The episode discusses building resilience in organizations through insights from cybersecurity leader Wendy Nather.

You can’t plan for everything, but you can build for resilience. In this episode, the Trust vs. team sits down with cybersecurity leader Wendy Nather to explore the human side of resilience. From real-world chaos and crisis response to succession planning, decision authority, and chaos engineering, Wendy shares hard-earned wisdom on what it takes to build organizations that can bend but not break. We talk about why most planning is too rigid, why psychological safety matters in cyber incidents, and how improvisation is  often a critical security skill.  Meet Ryan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-patrick-3699117a/ Meet Jeremy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremyhuval Meet Robert: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertbooker/ Meet Wendy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/wendynath
