BOSTON—Boston Consulting Group (BCG), one of the world’s leading management consulting firms, today announced the launch of the Center for Leadership in Cyber Strategy, a global initiative aimed at reshaping how organizations approach cybersecurity—moving it from a siloed technical issue to a central pillar of business leadership.
As digital transformation accelerates and cyber threats grow in complexity and frequency, traditional approaches to cybersecurity are falling short. The Center addresses this critical challenge by helping boards and executive teams adopt business-first, actionable strategies that tightly integrate cybersecurity with enterprise objectives. The Center equips leaders to protect critical assets, align cyber investments with long-term business value, and build the organizational resilience needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
“Cybersecurity can no longer be treated as a backend IT issue—it’s a boardroom priority and a business imperative,” said Vanessa Lyon , Managing Director and Senior Partner, Global Lead for Cyber & Digital Risk and Global Director of the Center for Leadership in Cyber Strategy at BCG. “At the Center for Leadership in Cyber Strategy, we help leaders navigate digital risk with clarity and confidence. Our mission is to make cyber a source of strength and competitive advantage—enabling trust, resilience, and secure innovation at every level of the enterprise.”
The Center draws on BCG’s cross-functional expertise at the intersection of cybersecurity, business strategy, and digital innovation. By reframing cyber not as a brake but as an enabler of growth, the Center helps organizations develop secure-by-design digital initiatives that move faster and build deeper trust with stakeholders and regulators. The Center empowers leadership teams to embed cybersecurity into core decision making, treating resilience and recovery speed as critical business metrics—not just technical outcomes.
Building on insights from BCG’s latest research, including What Cybersecurity Leaders Get Right and The Cybersecure CEO , the Center for Leadership in Cyber Strategy equips boards and executives with practical tools to drive cyber fluency across the C-suite, sharpen investment precision, and strengthen enterprise value. In rapidly evolving spaces, such as generative AI, we’re also drawing on the pioneering work led by our BCG X business—particularly around agentic AI architectures—where we bring a uniquely integrated view of cybersecurity, strategy, and innovation. These insights will form a foundation for the Center’s work, providing leaders with practical tools and forward-looking perspectives.
