George Usi: How Cyber Risk Became a Business Imperative
Have you ever thought about how fragile the world is when the internet stops working—and what it means to build something that lasts, even when storms come? In this episode of Doing Business with a Servant’s Heart, your host Steve Ramona sits down with cyber‑pioneer and risk strategist George Usi, whose journey from backbone design engineer to CEO of a cyber‑governance company mirrors the transformation businesses must undergo today.
George opens up by sharing a moment of childhood curiosity—the year the internet protocol went live in 1983, and the implications of building a network meant to survive. Then he dives into a pivotal moment in his career when he worked alongside the original architects of the internet and realized that security had never been their core mission—speed, connectivity, openness were. As the digital tide grew, new responsibilities emerged. Businesses weren’t just building—they were now being attacked, exposed, held accountable.
What does this mean for you? Whether you’re leading a company, managing a team, or simply serving others in your vocation, George shows how cyber‑risk isn’t just a technology issue. It is a matter of trust, of accountability, of service. He reframes cybersecurity as a part of your business’s “servant framework”—not just protecting assets but safeguarding relationships, serving stakeholders, staying resilient when the unthinkable happens.
By the end of this episode you’ll walk away with a new lens: cyber risk as part of your service‑toolbox, not just a cost center. You’ll receive actionable thoughts on how to introduce cyber‑risk management in your operations, how to talk about it to your team or clients, and how building that foundation becomes an act of service, not fear.
P.S. If this episode resonates with you, choose one conversation this week—maybe over coffee or with a team member—about how you serve by being proactive rather than reactive. How will you protect someone else today, and what impact will that create in your service?
