Ahead of the Threat: The FBI Cyber Podcast

Brett Leatherman

Booking Overview

An interview-led cybersecurity and national-security show focused on cyber policy, critical infrastructure, corporate resilience, and emerging technology, featuring senior government officials, policy leaders, and enterprise security executives alongside FBI perspectives. PR agencies could credibly pitch chief information security officers, national-security and cyber-policy experts, critical-infrastructure leaders, and senior government cybersecurity officials; booking is likely high difficulty because recent external guests hold prominent leadership roles.
