What does it really take to secure AI as it becomes part of the fabric of how we work? I had the chance to sit down with Sunil Agrawal, Chief Information Security Officer at Glean — and the company's first-ever CISO — to dive deep into this question.Sunil's perspective is clear: securing AI isn't about slapping on controls after deployment. It's about building secure AI by design — from prompt injection defense to real-time content protection and fine-grained governance.In our conversation, we covered a lot of ground:Why traditional security frameworks fall short for AI agentsHow Glean is preventing real-world attacks like jailbreaks and prompt injectionsWhy content awareness is key to managing sensitive data exposureWhat true visibility and control over agents looks like in the enterpriseWhy trust — not just compliance — is the new security currencyAnd how their new partnership with Palo Alto Networks is raising the bar on threat detection and posture managementWith over 100 million actions now executed by Glean's AI agents each year, it's no longer a hypothetical risk landscape — it's a live one.If you're responsible for security, IT, or AI strategy at your org, I highly recommend giving this interview a watch. It'll reshape how you think about governance, risk, and the future of work.Let me know what resonated with you — and if you're thinking differently about securing your AI initiatives after this.#data #ai #agents #GleanGo #theravitshow

Bob Burke, Chief Information Security Officer at Beyond Identity, challenges the effectiveness of traditional multi-factor authentication (MFA) in the evolving landscape of cybersecurity. He argues that legacy MFA solutions, which often rely on out-of-band authorization methods like push notifications or one-time passwords, are no longer sufficient against the rising tide of sophisticated cyber threats. With the advent of services like phishing-as-a-service, attackers can easily bypass these outdated security measures, necessitating a shift towards phishing-resistant authentication methods. Burke emphasizes the need for organizations to adopt solutions that not only enhance security but also consider device posture and trustworthiness.Burke also critiques the current state of FIDO2 and passkeys, acknowledging their potential while highlighting their limitations, particularly in terms of device posture and user experience. He suggests that small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) should prioritize phishing-resistant solutions that integrate both browser protection and device authentication. Furthermore, he raises concerns about the pricing models of many Software as a Service (SaaS) providers, which often place essential security features behind higher-tier subscriptions, effectively discouraging customers from adopting more secure practices.The conversation shifts to the endpoint detection and response (EDR) market, where Burke notes that while EDR solutions are still necessary, they are evolving into more comprehensive offerings like extended detection and response (XDR). He points out that many of these solutions are priced for enterprise-level organizations, leaving SMBs and mid-market companies struggling to find affordable options. Burke encourages these organizations to seek out solutions that fit their budget while still providing essential security capabilities.Finally, Burke shares insights from his experience with the FedRAMP certification process, emphasizing the importance of building internal security competencies and integrating security into product design from the outset. He advocates for a clear internal compliance program, such as NIST, to guide organizations in their security efforts. As the cybersecurity landscape continues to evolve, Burke warns that the tempo and scope of attacks are increasing, driven by advancements in AI, and urges organizations to reassess their security architectures to stay ahead of emerging threats.

Kory Daniels, Chief Information Security Officer at Trustwave, highlights the unique cybersecurity challenges facing the healthcare industry, particularly in this environment of funding constraints and the increasing sophistication of cyberattacks. Healthcare data is highly valuable to cybercriminals, who can use it for ransomware attacks, identity and insurance fraud, and other nefarious purposes. AI can be part of both the attack and the solution, helping to build in more cyber resilience and awareness about vulnerabilities. Kory explains, "Healthcare is a prime target for cyberattacks for a very fundamental reason. When human lives are at risk due to a criminal objective—which is to make money—they view organizations where human lives are at risk as a greater potential and opportunity. Facilitation of ransomware payments: Ransomware is one of the largest tactics that criminals use to achieve financial gain, but it's not the only tactic they use to achieve financial gain. So, they're looking to exploit the fear and uncertainty, putting patient lives at risk and adding complexity to patient care through their nefarious actions. But also, healthcare data is very attractive for cybercriminals, and just criminal activity in general. And why that is, is that criminals are looking at healthcare data even more so—it's more valuable than driver's license data." "Look at the opportunity of what you can do with healthcare records, and what can you do with PII, Personally Identifiable Information. Threat actors are tapping into this data in several different ways to achieve the additional financial gain above and beyond targeting a healthcare organization with a ransomware attack." "But they're also committing fraud, and fraud toward healthcare insurers, and looking at submitting false claims, fraud against the prescription drug industry in terms of soliciting and looking to obtain prescription drugs through nefarious means, but utilizing data and identity data that comes from hospital and healthcare records. There are a variety of different ways that we've just scratched the surface on, which make the healthcare industry such a desirable target for those seeking to achieve financial gain in the criminal industry." #Trustwave #Cybersecurity #CyberAttacks #HealthcareSecurity #HealthcareIT #CISOInsights trustwave.com Download the transcript here
Kory Daniels, Chief Information Security Officer at Trustwave, highlights the unique cybersecurity challenges facing the healthcare industry, particularly in this environment of funding constraints and the increasing sophistication of cyberattacks. Healthcare data is highly valuable to cybercriminals, who can use it for ransomware attacks, identity and insurance fraud, and other nefarious purposes. AI can be part of both the attack and the solution, helping to build in more cyber resilience and awareness about vulnerabilities. Kory explains, "Healthcare is a prime target for cyberattacks for a very fundamental reason. When human lives are at risk due to a criminal objective—which is to make money—they view organizations where human lives are at risk as a greater potential and opportunity. Facilitation of ransomware payments: Ransomware is one of the largest tactics that criminals use to achieve financial gain, but it's not the only tactic they use to achieve financial gain. So, they're looking to exploit the fear and uncertainty, putting patient lives at risk and adding complexity to patient care through their nefarious actions. But also, healthcare data is very attractive for cybercriminals, and just criminal activity in general. And why that is, is that criminals are looking at healthcare data even more so—it's more valuable than driver's license data." "Look at the opportunity of what you can do with healthcare records, and what can you do with PII, Personally Identifiable Information. Threat actors are tapping into this data in several different ways to achieve the additional financial gain above and beyond targeting a healthcare organization with a ransomware attack." "But they're also committing fraud, and fraud toward healthcare insurers, and looking at submitting false claims, fraud against the prescription drug industry in terms of soliciting and looking to obtain prescription drugs through nefarious means, but utilizing data and identity data that comes from hospital and healthcare records. There are a variety of different ways that we've just scratched the surface on, which make the healthcare industry such a desirable target for those seeking to achieve financial gain in the criminal industry." #Trustwave #Cybersecurity #CyberAttacks #HealthcareSecurity #HealthcareIT #CISOInsights trustwave.com Listen to the podcast here

In this special episode of All Quiet on the Second Front, we're bringing you a live recording from Offset 2025. Moderated by Danielle Metz, 2F Chief Policy Officer, this panel tackles a question that's easy to say but hard to operationalize: how do we actually build trust between government and industry to deliver secure, mission-ready technology? Danielle is joined by Rob Nolen, Chief Technologist for DoD at AWS, Dan Garcia, Chief Information Security Officer at EnterpriseDB, and Eric Sanders, Chief Information Security Officer at DHS (I&A) and, together, they unpack the cultural and structural baggage that slows innovation—and explore what it'll take to shift hearts, minds, and bureaucracies toward impact.What's Happening on the Second Front: Building security into systems from the start (not bolting it on later)Measuring impact through velocity, not vanity metricsRisk tolerance vs. risk avoidance in government techThe role of policy and regulation in accelerating trustWhy a shared language between builders, buyers, and approvers is mission-critical
Today's incident response ain't your grandfather's IR. But the psychology surrounding it hasn't changed an iota. This is precisely what Sam Rehman, EPAM's Chief Information Security Officer and SVP, and Tab Bradshaw, Chief Operating Officer at Redpoint Cybersecurity, are talking about on this #SecurityByDesign conversation. “It really comes down to the preparation piece,” says Bradshaw. It's about being well prepared and asking: “How often do you prepare in your organization, at a technical level, at an executive level, to handle some sort of incident?” Rehman agrees and says that he has clients wondering, “OK, so when am I done?” The perception is that being IR-ready is enough, he says. “That's not the case. It's a muscle. It's emotion. It's how you work. It's how you react to it.” There are benefits to knowing the proper way to react. “A well-handled breach really builds credibility,” says Bradshaw, adding that the word “reasonable” is omnipresent in IR documentation. He says: “Reasonableness is not just about having a mitigation strategy.” It's also about, say, practicing tabletop exercises. Regularly. So that when you're asked about doing regular tabletop sessions, the answer is, as Bradshaw puts it: “Yes, we did it every quarter for the past five years. We feel like we're in a pretty good spot that if something happens, might not be perfect, but we think we have good preparation, consistent preparation, consistent practice, to your point, to respond to the incident when it does occur.” Rehman says that security people are “used to having that sudden sense of violent impulse and urgency coming to us,” but what about the business leaders and everyone else in the organization? He asks Bradshaw about IR communication: “How do you guide the team through it, especially when everybody's thinking about, ‘Oh, am I gonna be on the news?'” Of the thousands of breaches Bradshaw and his team have responded to, for “a third, maybe half” of them, there is “some internal chaos at the client—and it's not because anybody's doing a bad thing.” “It really comes down to what I call C-squared,” says Bradshaw, which is shorthand for “communication and coordination. Someone has to be the quarterback.” Bradshaw says the chaos is about “a lack of preparation and testing.” A tabletop exercise needs to be a live fire exercise: “Doing it once a year is not good.” Too many organizations treat IR as a checklist, which is a mistake. He says: “It's a living, cross-functional discipline that evolves with the threat landscape externally, obviously, and also internally as people move.” And so? Get moving. Hit play and get ready.

Both are closed-door conversations designed to surface real concerns in a confidential, supportive setting. These aren't theoretical discussions—they're rooted in hard-earned experience. Brown, who has faced high-profile scrutiny and legal fallout from a past incident at SolarWinds, brings a uniquely personal perspective to these sessions.He points out that fear and hesitation are keeping many deputy CISOs from stepping up into the top role. His message to them: don't be afraid of the position. Despite the weight of responsibility, the role offers real influence, the ability to shape enterprise architecture, and the opportunity to drive meaningful business decisions. Brown emphasizes the importance of community support and collective growth, noting that the cybersecurity industry—still relatively young—is maturing and finding its footing when it comes to accountability and resilience.Beyond leadership development, mental health and stress management are key themes in the Cyber Leaders Forum. Brown acknowledges the toll the job can take, even sharing that his own health suffered despite thinking he was managing stress well. This honest reflection opens the door for deeper conversations about personal well-being in high-pressure roles.He's also appearing at the Cloud Security Alliance Summit with Chris Hoff, Chief Security Officer at LastPass, where they'll discuss incident response and field questions from the audience. On Wednesday, Brown joins a breakfast session with Tactic and Hyperwise, guiding attendees through a crisis simulation based on lessons from the Sunburst attack. His focus? Helping others avoid being unprepared in a moment of chaos.From insider threat modeling to supply chain transparency and the challenges of monitoring runtime behavior, Brown is clear-eyed about where CISOs need to focus next.This episode isn't just a preview of conference sessions—it's a call to future security leaders to lean in, not back.___________Guest: Tim Brown, CISO, Solarwinds | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tim-brown-ciso/Hosts:Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine | Website: https://www.marcociappelli.com___________Episode SponsorsThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974Akamai: https://itspm.ag/akamailbwcBlackCloak: https://itspm.ag/itspbcwebSandboxAQ: https://itspm.ag/sandboxaq-j2enArcher: https://itspm.ag/rsaarchwebDropzone AI: https://itspm.ag/dropzoneai-641ISACA: https://itspm.ag/isaca-96808ObjectFirst: https://itspm.ag/object-first-2gjlEdera: https://itspm.ag/edera-434868___________ResourcesRSAC Session: CLF Ask Me Anything Session with Tim Brown, CISO, SolarWinds: https://path.rsaconference.com/flow/rsac/us25/FullAgenda/page/catalog/session/1739404173721001x1MHRSAC Session: CISO Boot Camp Exclusive Fireside Chat with Tim Brown, CISO, SolarWinds: https://path.rsaconference.com/flow/rsac/us25/FullAgenda/page/catalog/session/1739403254724001isXhCSA Summit at RSAC 2025: Fireside Chat with Tim Brown and Chris Hoff: https://www.csasummitrsac.com/event/5b3547c2-c652-4f77-97de-5b094e746626/agenda?session=1452408b-c822-4664-87b8-38ce1276247bLearn more and catch more stories from RSA Conference 2025 coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-conference-usa-2025-rsac-san-francisco-usa-cybersecurity-event-infosec-conference-coverageCatch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageWant to tell your Brand Story Briefing as part of our event coverage?
