Today, we’re sitting down with Evan Morgan: Founder of Cyber Defense Army and cybersecurity leader focused on helping organizations navigate an increasingly complex threat landscape. Evan joins us to unpack some of the most pressing challenges security leaders are facing today: from managing evolving cyber risks, implementing AI responsibly, and understanding how third-party AI tools are reshaping the modern attack surface.

With a background rooted in cyber defense strategy and security operations, Evan brings a practical perspective on what it takes to lead effectively in today's security climate. We explore how CISOs can approach AI adoption with their teams, why traditional security models are struggling to keep pace with the explosion of third-party AI applications, and where the conversation around SSPM vs. CASB is heading as organizations rethink visibility and control in the AI era.

We also dig into the new approaches security teams need to secure external AI tools without slowing down innovation, how shadow AI is creating fresh challenges for enterprises, and why adaptability has become one of the most important traits for modern security leadership.

If you’re leading security initiatives or preparing your organization for the next wave of AI-driven change, this conversation offers valuable insight into what resilient cybersecurity leadership looks like today.
