Robert Kang, Professorial Lecturer of Cybersecurity & National Security, The George Washington University Law School, has been building enterprise cybersecurity programs since 2009, making him one of the “OG” practitioners when most organizations didn't even have dedicated cyber counsel. His unique perspective comes from protecting both critical infrastructure and social media platforms, highlighting how the same governance, risk management, and compliance framework applies across radically different threat landscapes. 

In his conversation with Jean, he shares why organizations face equal risks from implementing AI too quickly or prohibiting it entirely, and how complete AI prohibition drives employees to use personal accounts for business purposes, eliminating organizational oversight entirely. Robert's systematic approach to building relationships with law enforcement agencies before crisis situations emerge provides a practical framework most organizations ignore. From free services like InfraGard to subscription-based programs like the National Cyber Forensics Training Alliance, these partnerships deliver both threat intelligence and confidential channels for sharing information with federal agencies.
