Business Security Weekly (Video)

In this discussion, we focus on vendor/tool challenges in infosec, from a security leader's perspective. To quote our guest, Ross, "running a security program is often confused with shopping". You can't buy an effective security program any more than you can buy respect, or a black belt in kung fu (there might be holes in these examples, but you hopefully get the point). In fact, buying too much can often create more problems than it solves, especially if you're struggling to fill your staffing needs.

In part 1 of this 2-part episode, we'll discuss:

- The current state of vendor offerings in cybersecurity - The difficulties of measuring value and efficacy in a product - How to avoid building a security program that centers around managing products - Shelfware - Minimizing product overhead

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?"

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.
