Startup Articles and Discussion - Startup Security Weekly #40

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.

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.
