Episode Description


In this episode of the Soulful CXO, host Dr. Rebecca Wynn sits down with Justin Daniels, a distinguished expert in corporate mergers and acquisitions, tech transactions, and cybersecurity, who also co-chairs the blockchain and digital assets practice at Baker Donelson. Together, they explore how businesses can gain a competitive edge by treating cybersecurity as a strategic risk rather than just a technical issue. Justin emphasizes the importance of robust disaster recovery plans and modern IT infrastructures to ensure resilience, discusses the implications of recent events like the Delta outage, and highlights the need for government-private sector collaboration to secure critical infrastructure. The conversation also covers executive accountability for cyber hygiene, effective vendor management, and the evolving landscape of cyber liability insurance and AI due diligence in M&A deals. Listen in to learn how these insights can help business leaders stay ahead in today’s fast-paced digital environment
