In this conversation, Ryan Williams and Kayne McGladrey discuss the evolving role of the CISO, the importance of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), and the impact of AI in cybersecurity. They highlight the need for CISOs to have the full backing of their boards and the challenges they face in managing civil liability for processes they don't control. They also emphasize the importance of democratizing GRC knowledge and providing companies with tools like Hyperproof to assess and improve their cybersecurity maturity. The conversation touches on the increasing regulatory requirements and the need for companies to demonstrate compliance and accountability. The conversation explores the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) field. The guest, Kayne McGladrey, discusses the dual nature of AI, where it can both save time and raise concerns. He shares examples of how AI can be used to summarize information, generate control suggestions, and analyze large-scale signal data. However, he also highlights the ethical and practical challenges of relying too heavily on AI, such as the need for human judgment and accountability. Kayne emphasizes the importance of using AI as a tool to enhance human intelligence and focus on more meaningful tasks.
