What can CISOs and security leaders learn from the U.S. Secret Service?
In this episode, Agnidipta Sarkar, Chief Evangelist at ColorTokens, speaks with Hazel Cerra, a former U.S. Secret Service leader and now Director of Digital Security Convergence at BlackCloak, about what executive protection teaches us about breach readiness, cyber resilience, and incident response planning.
They discuss why organizations need to assume breach, how access control and microsegmentation help limit movement, why tabletop exercises build real muscle memory, and how simple, accessible incident response plans can make the difference when a cyber incident hits.
In this episode, you’ll learn

• Why prevention alone is no longer enough
• What “zero fail” protection can teach cyber leaders
• How microsegmentation helps reduce lateral movement
• Why incident response plans must be simple and accessible
• How tabletop exercises prepare teams for real breaches
• Why human behavior, social engineering, and offboarding gaps still cause failures
• Why executive protection now extends into digital life

If you are a CISO, security leader, board member, or cyber-aware executive, this conversation will help you think differently about how to prepare for the day a breach actually happens.
