Cyber Knowledge Partners is a female-owned strategic advisory firm founded by Linda Zecher and Kathryn Mihalich. Based in Washington, D.C., the firm works directly with Corporate Boards and C-suite executives to help them understand and manage cybersecurity and AI risk.

Ms. Zecher brings decades of experience at the intersection of technology and governance, including service on the Hasbro Board of Directors where she chaired the Cyber Committee and as a Director of Tenable Corporation, a cyber security corporation.

Ms. Mihalich background spans intelligence community operations, policy analysis, and translating complex technical threats into language that business leaders can act on.

Together, they built CKP on a simple premise: cybersecurity is not an IT problem, it's a business risk that belongs in the boardroom. The firm provides tailored education, ongoing advisory services, and strategic frameworks that help directors ask the right questions, oversee cyber resilience with confidence, and align security strategy with enterprise performance.

CKP is driven by passion and grounded by values. We're a team of passionate thinkers and doers, dedicated to building with purpose and clarity. Collaboration and curiosity drive everything we do.

Linda and Kathryn have authored Stolen Trust, a techno-thriller that explores potential reach of AI through synthetic relationships.
