Advice on presenting to a board: talk in business risk terms always; constant vigilance; scenarios not metrics; actively pull all sorts of risk in; use analogies; learn the actual business!

Mulheron: business case for the cost of a tool should not be what CISO comes to a board with. Should be more about partnering with the board, understanding the risk to the business holistically, stategically, etc

Inzerillo: much of keynote will revolve around what travel management Engine does with Salesforce's agentic tech. Seems like they are all in on everything, including Slackbot, Tableau -- the whole agentic enterprise philosophy. And big into the open ecosystem concept.
