Startup Security Weekly (audio)

With hundreds or thousands of SaaS apps to secure with no traditional perimeter, Identity becomes the focal point for SaaS Security in the modern enterprise. Yet with Shadow IT, now recast as Business-Led IT, quickly becoming normal practice, it’s more complicated than trying to centralize all identities with an Identity Provider (IdP) for Single Sign-On (SSO). So the question becomes, “How do you enable the business while still providing security oversight and governance?” This segment is sponsored by Savvy.

When you think of executive protection, you think of work related activities such as security details, travel planning, and other physical security protections. But in the world of Artificial Intelligence and DeepFakes, the risk landscape for executives goes far beyond work and into their personal lives. The home is now the new battle field and family life will never be the same. Chris Pierson, CEO at BlackCloak, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss the changes in the risk landscape for executives, including Generative AI, and its impacts on social engineering, personal attacks, and family threats. Executive protection must now include digital protection, both at work and at home. This segment is sponsored by BlackCloak. Visit https://securityweekly.com/blackcloak to learn more about them!

The SEC's new cyber reporting requirements are forcing organizations to rethink their compliance and risk programs. No longer can compliance and risk be static, point in time assessments. Instead they need to match the speed of security which is dynamic and real-time. Couple the difference in speeds with whistleblowers and attack groups reporting non-compliance with the new SEC rules and organizations find themselves in a regulatory nightmare. Igor Volovich, VP of Compliance Strategy for Cyber Compliance at Qmulos, joins BSW to share his "Notes from the battlefield" on how automation is the only way to effectively converge security, risk, and compliance into a dynamic, real-time discipline.

Released on January 26, 2023, the NIST AI RMF Framework was developed through a consensus-driven, open, transparent, and collaborative process that included a Request for Information, several draft versions for public comments, multiple workshops, and other opportunities to provide input. It is intended to build on, align with, and support AI risk management efforts by others. Padraic O'Reilly, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at CyberSaint, joins BSW to discuss why AI risks are a unique challenge and how they can impact both organizations and society. Without proper controls, AI systems can amplify, perpetuate, or exacerbate inequitable or undesirable outcomes for individuals and communities.

Check out this interview from the BSW Vault, hand picked by main host Matt Alderman! This segment was originally published on February 22, 2022. The Business Information Security Officer, or BISO, is relatively new and somewhat controversial role. Does this role act as the CISO's non-technical liaison to the business units or as the CISO's deputy to oversee strategy implementation at a granular level? Is this new role a necessary career path for future CISOs or an entry point into security? The BSW hosts debate! Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/vault-bsw-8

Research shows that 26% of US workers currently work remotely, and there are expected to be 32.3 million American employees working remotely by 2025. To support these workers, organizations are adopting cloud solutions and migrating data to these cloud solutions. However, many businesses lack visibility into who has access to what data and when, especially in these cloud solutions. How should organizations reconcile the disconnect between data access and data security? Mike Scott, CISO at Immuta, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss best practices for moving sensitive data into the cloud, including data access and data security. If you're moving data into the cloud, listen in to learn how best to protect that data.

Throughout her career, Sandy Dunn has continued to mature and refine her skills. In the early days, she describes her job as a "hostage negotiator", constantly negotiating between the business teams and the security team. But as you mature, so does your approach to security. Now, Sandy talks about simplifying "knowledge management" to make it easy to understand security and becoming a "business listener" to make the right decisions.

Cyber has been an historically hermetic practice. A dark art. Full of mysteries and presided over by magicians both good and bad. This is a bit of an exaggeration, yet there is some truth to it. Many in our industry knew that the SEC was evaluating the role that cyber risk management and incident disclosure plays in the pricing mechanism for an equity. Many of the participants in GRC, IRM, and Cyber Risk anticipated this before the SEC had even proposed such rules. Boards, C-Suites, and Information security teams within publicly traded companies brought it up occasionally in the year preceding its adoption. Lawyers on K Street actively advocated in the press against enacting such rules, and there is still a hearty back and forth concerning the merits of SEC involvement in cyber risk. But more transparency is a very welcome development. For investors, it’s essential. Industry veterans say that this development hearkens back to Sarbanes Oxley, which had very big implications for Governance, Risk, and Compliance

Most leadership books suffer from one of two critical failures (and sometimes both). The book might be a hagiography: telling you the biography of some amazing leaders, pretending there is one secret trick that will let you emulate that leader. Or the lesson of book should have been written as a tweet: in 280 characters you could have learned one lesson, but instead you have to fight through 300 pages of obfuscation to decipher the lesson. 1% Leadership is the antidote to these approaches. There is no secret. Instead, 1% Leadership provides 54 distinct lessons on leadership, that apply to individuals, teams, and organizations. Each lesson is presented in a self-contained chapter, averaging under 800 words. The lessons are summarized in a tweet-length pithy summary, which is also the chapter title. The table of contents thus serves as a quick reference guide for leaders.
