Epsidoe 36: We Make the Rules—but Then Disband the Watchdog

This episode of the Technology Risk Podcast we examine the alarming disappearance of cybersecurity oversight in the U.S.—after the government abruptly disbanded the Cyber Safety Review Board. This independent agency once investigated major cyber incidents like the Salt Typhoon ISP breaches. Now, its absence signals a deeper risk: the erosion of transparency, accountability, and public trust in cyber defense. We explore what happens when no one’s watching the watchdogs, from increased breach risks and regulatory confusion to reputational fallout. You'll also hear strategies for maintaining internal accountability, advocating for oversight, and fostering industry collaboration in an oversight vacuum.
