The Blind Spot

The Blind Spot
Hosted by Jason Lee, Managing Director at Z Cyber
Security teams aren't short on findings. The hard part is turning those findings into decisions the business can actually act on, fund, and own.
The Blind Spot is a cybersecurity podcast built around what happens after risk becomes visible. Not the audit checklist. Not the scan results. The judgment calls, translation gaps, and remediation work that determine whether risk actually changes.
Each episode is a practitioner conversation with CISOs, executives, board advisors, operators, and risk leaders working at the intersection of cybersecurity, business decisions, and accountability. We cover boardroom communication, AI governance, healthcare security, cyber insurance, and what it actually takes to go from assessment to action.
Every episode closes the same way: "What is the one thing you wish the other side of the conversation understood?"
New episodes every two weeks.
