Cybersecurity isn't just a technology challenge—it's a leadership challenge.
In the inaugural episode of Mission: Cyber, CyberSheath CEO Emil Sayegh sits down
with Doug Barbin, President and National Managing Principal at Schellman, for a candid
conversation about the leadership decisions that shape resilient cybersecurity
programs.
Together, they explore why trust is essential to building strong security cultures, how AI
is creating new governance challenges, and why organizations should focus on building
defensible cybersecurity programs—not simply passing compliance assessments.

leaders, and defense contractors alike.
