Chris Honda: Protecting What Matters While Empowering What’s Next

I’m excited to share my professional biography, which highlights my journey in cybersecurity, governance, risk management, compliance, AI governance, and board leadership. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on helping organizations build trust, strengthen resilience, and create sustainable growth while serving others through leadership and community involvement.

Navigating the Convergence of Law and Technology: A Cybersecurity Perspective

Cybersecurity now sits squarely at the convergence of law and technology, where legal obligations and technical controls are increasingly interdependent. As organizations adopt cloud services, AI, and complex third-party ecosystems, regulators and courts are raising expectations around “reasonable security,” effectively turning once-optional frameworks like NIST into de facto standards. At the same time, data privacy laws, breach notification requirements, and third-party risk obligations demand that security programs be auditable, evidence-based, and aligned with legal governance. Navigating this landscape requires closer collaboration between legal, business, and technical leaders to build cybersecurity programs that not only reduce risk, but also demonstrate accountability, resilience, and trust.
