Startup Security Weekly #40 - I'm On a Roll

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.

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.

How should organizations reconcile the disconnect between data access and data security?
