Focusing on this one party is kind of missing the point. The point isn't that a mere $440,000 of the $85 billion was wasted on something stupid. The point is that all of the $85 billion will be wasted on something stupid. Buying up worthless financial instruments or paying off bad bets in derivatives markets isn't any better than throwing a party. In many ways, the party is better because with the party some of the money goes more directly back to the resort staff, who are workers in the California economy. If I could force them to spend all $85 billion throwing huge parties in every state in America and inviting random taxpayers to attend, I would. It would be better than what will actually happen.
How would you sell cybersecurity to business executives that don't care about cybersecurity?

Specifically business executives that own medical labs.
I'm thinking of a slide deck with visualizations of potential MITTRE attack vulnerabilities, NIST RMF needs, a type maturity model for their security operations.
Does anybody else have any resources they'd point me too? Anywhere I can get some statistics or numbers that would convince these executives to take cybersecurity seriously for their org?
Thank you!

talk about risk
Wherever possible, quantify this risk in lost revenue, fines, reputational damage, etc. by providing examples of other organizations in your industry that have been attacked.
Help them understand that not addressing the risk is the equivalent of accepting the risk without mitigation.
Aside: In 2021 if your executives don't care about cybersecurity, you're sitting on a time bomb and you're putting your job, health/ sanity, and reputation on the line by working for them; remember that shit rolls downhill.
