Bridging the Gap between Governance and Business Value.

Cybersecurity has long been treated as a technical discipline and a cost center. But in today’s digital economy, security increasingly determines whether innovation can happen, whether trust can be established, and whether businesses can operate at scale.

In this episode of Cyber Talks by Devoteam, Rui Shantilal is joined by Josip Matošin, Account Manager at Devoteam Cyber Trust Germany, to explore a provocative idea: what if cybersecurity leaders should act as “Cyber Lobbyists” inside their organisations?

Together, they unpack why many companies are compliant on paper but vulnerable in reality, how governance frameworks such as NIS2 can sometimes create a false sense of security, and why cybersecurity must evolve from a cost center to a business enabler and ultimately, a profit center.

The conversation also dives into organisational strategy, the paradox of AI-driven defense, and why culture and human behaviour remain the weakest and most important, layer of cybersecurity.

You’ll learn about:

• Why cybersecurity leaders need to act as Cyber Lobbyists
• The gap between compliance and real security
• Why governance, structure and culture shape cyber resilience
• The AI & Human Paradox in modern defense
• How cybersecurity can become a business enabler
• What drives real impact in cybersecurity careers
