[Verse 1] The CISO walks in with charts held high MTTD numbers and patches applied "Our vulnerability count has dropped by ten" But the boardroom asks that question again [Chorus] "But are we secure?" they're asking still Technical metrics don't pay the bill Lost in translation, the message fails While CFOs tell financial tales Translate the risk, don't count the flaws Think like counsel explaining laws Bridge the gap between tech and trust Communication skills are a must [Verse 2] Ninety-nine percent patch compliance rate The CISO thinks the news is great But board members share a puzzled look These numbers don't translate to their book [Chorus] "But are we secure?" they're asking still Technical metrics don't pay the bill Lost in translation, the message fails While CFOs tell financial tales Translate the risk, don't count the flaws Think like counsel explaining laws Bridge the gap between tech and trust Communication skills are a must [Bridge] CFO speaks revenue and growth General Counsel explains what matters most Legal risk in business terms they know But CISOs speak in technical flow The perception gap grows wide and deep Thinking they communicate while boards lose sleep [Verse 3] Learn from peers who've cracked the code Transform your technical episode Business impact, not system health Risk in terms of corporate wealth [Chorus] "But are we secure?" they're asking still Technical metrics don't pay the bill Lost in translation, the message fails While CFOs tell financial tales Translate the risk, don't count the flaws Think like counsel explaining laws Bridge the gap between tech and trust Communication skills are a must [Outro] The translation problem solved at last When technical talk becomes the past Speak their language, earn your seat Where cybersecurity and business meet
