- Risk and Innovation with Michael Farnum
In this episode of CYBR.Signal, CYBR.SEC.Community CEO Michael Farnum reflects on a recent AI governance panel that challenged his perspective on cybersecurity's role in enabling innovation. As organizations race to adopt AI, are security professionals falling back into the outdated role of the "department of no"?
Tune in for a lesson on why innovation requires risk and why security teams may need to rethink their approach.

3 min - A Grave Case of Confirmation Bias
In this episode of CYBR.Signal, Michael Farnum uses an unexpected discovery at a construction site in Tomball, Texas, to explore the dangers of confirmation bias in cybersecurity. He explains why suspicious activity doesn’t always mean an incident - and why immediately shutting everything down can create unnecessary business impact.

7 min - Everything is Everyone's Responsibility
In this episode of CYBR.Signal, legendary CISO Andy Ellis draws inspiration from a visit to New England Patriots training camp to challenge the idea that “security is everyone’s responsibility.” He observes that across a high-performing organization, people naturally contribute to security without making it their primary job - and argues cybersecurity teams should strive for the same outcome. Rather than asking every employee to become a security expert, security leaders should build security into the work people already do and connect it directly to the goals of the business.

2 min - Art vs. Architecture
If your security dashboard looks impressive but fails to provide actionable metrics, it’s artwork - not infrastructure. In this episode of CYBR.Signal, CYBR.SEC.Community CEO Michael Farnum explains what CISOs, CIOs, and security leaders should demand from their product dashboards: data that supports better decisions, demonstrates measurable progress, and helps justify security investments to the board.

2 min - CISOs and Data Access
CISOs are typically not the owner of their organization's most critical (or even non-critical) assets and data. There are usually business unit leaders assigned to that, and the CISO's role is to help reduce the risk to those assets. If the CISO does have direct access to those assets, it's a bad architectural design. That's today's #CyberSunday topic.
