About This Panel Discussion

In today’s ever-changing cybersecurity landscape, communicating cyber risks to non-technical clients can feel like navigating a constant dumpster fire. Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (F.U.D.) often dominate these discussions, leaving clients confused or overwhelmed, and worse—undermining their trust in you. This session will teach you how to replace F.U.D. with clarity, confidence, and value-driven conversations.

Join top experts from Empath, ThreatLocker, CloudRadial, and Barracuda as they share how to cut through the noise and avoid getting too “nerdy” with your messaging. Learn to break down complex cybersecurity issues into simple, actionable insights that resonate with your clients, building trust and fostering long-term relationships. We’ll cover the essential pillars of cyber hygiene and how to explain these concepts in a way that highlights your expertise without using fear tactics.
