Leading from the Attacker’s Perspective: Moral Courage, Muscle Memory & AI-Driven Cyber Resilience with Snehal Antani, CEO at Horizon3.ai
Cyber resilience doesn’t break down because of weak tools — it breaks down when leaders fail to think like attackers.
In this episode of CXO Secrets, David McClelland is joined by Snehal Antani, CEO of Horizon3.ai, to explore leadership, resilience, and cybersecurity through the attacker’s lens. Drawing on experience from CIO and CTO roles at GE Capital and Splunk, alongside service with U.S. Special Operations, Snehal explains why modern cyber defence depends as much on mindset, discipline, and preparation as it does on technology.
They also discuss leading under pressure, building teams for hostile environments, how AI is reshaping cyber offence and defence, and why today’s CXOs have a clear duty to understand and own cyber risk.
A must-listen for CIOs, CISOs, and senior leaders preparing their organisations for an AI-driven threat landscape.
