    Reputation at risk: What data reveals about the new cybersecurity reality

    In this episode of What's at Stake, Penta Partner and Head of the D.C. office Bryan DeAngelis is joined by two of Penta's Senior Partners based on the West Coast—Dan La Russo and TJ Kelly—for a timely discussion on why cyber risk is now stakeholder risk. Drawing from Penta's latest white paper and research study, the trio unpack findings from an analysis of over 4.8 million global mentions across six industries to explore how cyber threats ripple through markets, boardrooms, and public trust. Their conversation covers: Why cybersecurity has evolved from an IT challenge to a reputation-defining issue. How different industries handle breaches—and what distinguishes the organizations that recover quickly from those that struggle to regain trust. The role of transparent leadership and cross-functional coordination in managing crises. The growing intersection between cybersecurity and geopolitics, and what it means for corporate affairs and policy teams. The strategic imperatives every leader should adopt to prepare for the next cyber event. You can access the white paper and request the full research study by visiting pentagroup.com/cyber25
