Summary In this episode of Chattinn Cyber, cybersecurity expert Mark Jackolski, Director of Risk and Compliance at Show Proof, shares his journey from Long Island technician to national leader in cyber compliance. With a foundation in information systems from Stony Brook University, Mark discusses how his passion for technology evolved into a career focused on helping organizations meet rising cybersecurity standards. The heart of the conversation is the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), a framework initiated by the Department of Defense to ensure that contractors protect controlled unclassified information. Mark explains that while compliance with NIST 800-171 has been required since 2017, CMMC introduces verification—organizations must now demonstrate their cybersecurity posture through third-party assessments to remain eligible for federal contracts. Beyond meeting DoD requirements, Mark describes how CMMC builds reputational credibility, calling it “the currency of trust.” He emphasizes the strategic advantage of showing compliance through a recognized badge rather than repeated explanations, which streamlines the contracting process and establishes confidence with partners and clients. When asked how organizations should begin preparing, Mark advises starting with people: appointing a program leader, engaging executive buy-in, and mapping where sensitive data flows. He warns against relying on underqualified partners and stresses the importance of assessing technical, administrative, and physical requirements early. Missteps—like poor documentation or unclear scoping—can lead to wasted time and resources. Finally, Mark highlights the growing relevance of CMMC beyond the DoD. New regulations aim to standardize data protection across all federal agencies, meaning businesses even tangentially involved in government work may soon fall under its scope. As CMMC requirements become embedded in contracts by summer 2025, organizations that prepare now will gain a competitive edge in the expanding defense and government market. 5 Key Points CMMC Explained: The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification verifies that organizations working with the Department of Defense meet NIST 800-171 cybersecurity standards. Strategic Advantage: Earning CMMC builds trust and provides a significant edge in securing government contracts by signaling a strong cybersecurity posture. Preparation Starts with People: A successful CMMC journey begins by appointing accountable personnel, securing executive alignment, and clearly mapping the flow of controlled unclassified information (CUI). Pitfalls and Guidance: Common mistakes include working with unqualified providers and underestimating documentation requirements. Mark recommends finding certified experts through the Cyber AB marketplace. Growing Scope: CMMC will expand beyond the DoD to other government agencies, making early adoption a strategic move even for subcontractors or non-defense contractors. 5 Key Quotes “It's the currency of trust.” – Mark on how CMMC serves as a reputation badge in the defense industry. “Start by appointing somebody to oversee the entire process.” – On the critical role of leadership in compliance efforts. “Documentation is key—not just technical controls, but the processes and people behind them.” “If you're going to develop a policy or some other procedure, there has to be buy-in from the organization.” “CMMC started with the DoD, but it's going to expand to other government agencies. This is just the beginning.” About Our Guest Mark Jackolski is a creative and team-oriented cybersecurity professional with a deep-seated passion for technology. He specializes in assisting small to medium-sized businesses in enhancing their security posture and achieving compliance with industry standards. With a persistent drive to deliver exceptional results, Mark offers strategic virtual Chief Information...

On the 48th episode of Enterprise AI Innovators, hosts Evan Reiser (Abnormal Security) and Saam Motamedi (Greylock Partners) talk with Sathish Muthukrishnan, Chief Information, Data, and Digital Officer of Ally Financial. Ally is an American bank holding company, with over $8 billion in annual revenue and over 11,000 employees. The company provides auto financing, mortgage loans, banking, and other financial services to 11 million customers across the United States. In this conversation, Sathish explores Ally's groundbreaking journey from mainframes to AI-powered banking, the game-changing role of generative AI in customer support, and his predictions for how AI will redefine personal banking in the years to come.Producer's note: This episode was recorded in August of 2024.Quick hits from Satish:On the rules for engaging with Gen AI: “Gen AI is new and fast evolving. Like any new technology, there are risks that you have to tackle. We came up with guiding principles for how we use AI: One, let's build use cases that face our internal customers as the technology evolves. Two, there should always be a human in the middle. And three, we cannot allow sensitive information to leave Ally.”On the necessary data journey to unlock AI's potential: “AI is having its moment because of the convergence of other hype cycles that have happened. Whether that's data, cloud, native app development, or any technology investments. If you went through the data journey, and you have cloud enabled, you've made it findable, and you've made it easy to compute the data, now you have the ability to access the data and use the insights, and you can take advantage of this AI explosion.”On the importance of staying up to date with new technology: “Do not forget to experiment. Do not be afraid of the fast evolving technology. Continue to experiment, have your team be empowered. Whether it's on the offensive or defensive side, it's extremely important for you to be prepared. You need to continue familiarizing yourself with new technology so you can be prepared.”Recent Book Recommendation: Ideaflow by Jeremy Utley and Perry Kleb--Like what you hear?
