Episode 100: From Cyber Defense to Trust Governance
Wed Jan 28 2026
In this milestone 100th episode of the Cybersecurity Readiness Podcast Series, Dr. Dave Chatterjee reflects on nearly one hundred conversations that collectively reveal a hard-earned truth: cybersecurity has crossed a point of no return. It is no longer a technical function or an episodic response to crises—it has become a trust discipline.
Rather than celebrating longevity, Episode 100 serves as a moment of synthesis and reckoning. Drawing on insights from global practitioners, scholars, regulators, and executives, Chatterjee distills why trust collapses, why recovery is slow, and why organizations that invest in readiness consistently outperform those that rely on reaction.
Tracing the podcast’s origins—from an experimental idea inspired by a University of Georgia undergraduate to a globally recognized platform reaching listeners in over 117 countries—this episode reframes cybersecurity as a leadership, governance, and enterprise resilience challenge. Through the lens of the Commitment–Preparedness–Discipline (CPD) framework, Episode 100 captures how cybersecurity has evolved from control-centric defense to a core pillar of organizational credibility and trust governance.
