, “The two words 'information' and 'communication' are often used interchangeably, but they signify quite different things. Information is giving out; communication is getting through.” To excel as communicators, we need to be able to “get through” to our audience.

Cyber and risk leaders must craft their communication to resonate with a business audience. Although technical jargon like “ransomware,” “patching,” ”zero-day,” “third-party breach” and “bot” might not capture their audience’s interest right away, linking these topics to how they impact the bottom line or customers can make business leaders more receptive.
