Before the Breach: Translating Cyber Risk So It Stays on the C-Suite Agenda

In this episode of UC Today, host Kristian McCann sits down with Bill Dunnion, Chief Information Security Officer at Mitel, to unpack one of the most persistent challenges in enterprise security: getting cybersecurity onto the C-suite agenda before disaster strikes. In this candid conversation, Mitel’s CISO Bill Dunnion explains why security still struggles to compete with revenue targets at the executive level, and what needs to change. Rather than framing cybersecurity as a technical issue, Dunnion argues the case for repositioning it as a core business enabler—one that directly impacts revenue, competitiveness, and customer trust. Whether you're a business leader trying to understand your true exposure or a security professional struggling to make risk resonate at board level, this discussion offers practical, real-world insight you can apply immediately. Key topics include: 🔵 Why cybersecurity still takes a back seat to revenue in the C-suite 🔵 How AI is accelerating risk by exposing existing vulnerabilities at scale 🔵 Why breaches remain the biggest (and most dangerous) wake-up call 🔵 How CISOs can translate cyber risk into business impact and revenue terms For more insights on cybersecurity, visit to UC Today
