Episode Notes

Welcome to a new episode of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast. In this episode, Sean Martin is joined by Sidney Pearl to discuss the AI-ISAC (Artificial Intelligence Information Sharing and Analysis Center). They talk about the importance of operationalizing security and how communities, such as CISOs and other business executives, play a vital role in information sharing.

Sidney Pearl, the newly appointed executive director of AI ISAC, shares his background and experience in cybersecurity. The pair explore the structure of ISAOs (Information Sharing and Analysis Organizations) and ISACs. They explain that ISACs were initially formed to develop public and private partnerships between the government and private industry to share information and identify threats to critical infrastructure. Over time, ISACs have evolved into ISAOs, which have members beyond just the government and focus on sharing information across various domains.

The conversation then shifts to the AI ISAC and its importance in sharing information about artificial intelligence-related threats. They emphasize that the AI-ISAC is neutral and aims to help all ISACs and ISAOs gain insight into the threat landscape associated with artificial intelligence. They discuss the challenges of navigating the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence, where bad actors can leverage AI tools for malicious purposes.

Sean and Sidney stress the necessity for organizations to proactively understand the trajectory of AI and make informed decisions. They highlight the importance of accessibility to good information for organizations to stay ahead of threats. Trust plays a crucial role in the success of ISACs, and Sidney invites the audience to engage with the AI-ISAC to foster trust and collaboration. Sidney also expresses the AI-ISAC's commitment to working together with the cybersecurity community to adapt to the changes brought by artificial intelligence. He encourages listeners to reach out and participate in the dialogue, emphasizing that we are all in this together.

Key Insights Provided:

• What is the structure of ISAOs (Information Sharing and Analysis Organizations) and ISACs (Information Sharing and Analysis Centers)? How have they evolved over time to develop public and private partnerships and share information to identify threats to critical infrastructure?
• What is the role of the AI-ISAC ? How does it aim to help all ISACs and ISAOs gain insight into the threat landscape associated with artificial intelligence? What are the challenges in navigating the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence?
• How can organizations proactively understand the trajectory of artificial intelligence and make informed decisions to stay ahead of emerging threats? What is the importance of accessibility to good information in cybersecurity? How does trust play a crucial role in the success of ISACs, and how can the AI-ISAC foster trust and collaboration within the cybersecurity community?

Oddly insightful(??) theologian Jungle Jim tells stories concerning the childhood and youth of Isaac, son of Abraham.  The stories include the dismissal of Hagar and Ishmael, a move that almost cost them their lives, and the most unusual request ever made by God of any man, the request that Abraham kill the very son of promise for whom he had long waited, Isaac.
