Michael Oberlaender: The AI Race is a Security Nightmare | Ready Set Exec
In this episode of Ready Set Exec, Host John Pezoulas sits down with 8x Global CISO and cybersecurity thought leader Michael S. Oberlaender. With over 25 years of executive experience, Michael dissects the dangerous corporate tendency to prioritize speed-to-market over robust security infrastructure. Discover the non-negotiable necessity of Security by Design, how to prepare for the rapid weaponization of AI, and the looming threats of the post-quantum era. For CEOs assessing true risk profiles and IT leaders managing global vulnerabilities, this cybersecurity masterclass is mandatory listening.
Key Takeaways:

- Actionable frameworks for implementing "Security by Design" and zero-trust architectures.
