Our Values
Leadership is dependent on values. These are ours:
- We are a community. We are open and welcoming; enthusiastically inclusive.
- We are collaborative. We believe “no one is as smart as everyone.”
- We believe in increasing returns; that by working collaboratively together to co-create people-based cybersecurity and privacy solutions — from the boardroom to the living room — we can make 1 + 1 = 1,000.
- We seek to educate so that people are equipped to make intellectually sound decisions about cybersecurity and privacy risk.
- We are passionate about securing the village.
- We bring strong personal values, morals, and ethics — such as honesty and integrity — to SecureTheVillage.
Our leadership premise is simple: Give people an opportunity to identify their own challenges and they’ll find ways to meet them.
Add Your Leadership to Ours … Join with us
We encourage CyberLeaders and CyberPartners to join with us and get involved. Bring your leadership to the challenge of a cybersecure global village. Share your experience and expertise … and your wisdom.

It takes a village of leaders for the village to lead itself..
