What does it mean to secure the world's largest hyperscale cloud, while AI rewrites the rules of identity, threat detection, and security culture? In this episode of AWS Executive Insights: Security Series, Clarke Rodgers sits down with Amy Herzog, Chief Information Security Officer at AWS, for a candid conversation on what it takes to lead security at scale in the age of AI.Amy draws on her experience leading consumer AI products to argue that security should accelerate innovation, not hinder it. She explores how AWS is deploying AI for defense, why agentic AI demands a rethink of identity, and how the Security Guardians program embeds security culture across the entire organization.

According to Check Point Research and Reuters, cyberattacks on U.S. utilities in 2024 increased nearly 70% compared to the year before, leading to an average of 69 attacks every week. In 2025, the trend continued, in the U.S and globally. What can water utilities do to protect themselves from these digital threats?   The answer is a nuanced one, as the challenges extend beyond outdated software and ageing infrastructure. Most water utilities globally are undergoing rapid digital transformation to respond to higher demands from communities, councils and authorities. This has opened more opportunities for cyberthreats, driving more challenges for cybersecurity in Operational Technology (OT) environments. Unlike conventional Information Technology (IT) systems, OT systems directly control pumps, valves, and treatment processes. An attack on OT can have immediate, real-world consequences for water quality, safety and public health.   The OT environment at Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) is a success story as it protects one of the largest regional water and wastewater utilities in the U.S., servicing more than 20 counties and cities and 1.5 million people. Thanks to its signature program of embedded visibility, governance and consequence-driven planning, it can serve as a blueprint for water utilities globally.   Today we'll talk about how to apply this cybersecurity blueprint with Ben Stirling, Director, Cybersecurity & OT at Jacobs, and Roger Caslow, Chief Information Security Officer, Hampton Roads Sanitation District.

What should a Chief Information Security Officer focus on during the first 100 days in the role? In this episode of the Leadership Podcast, Niels Brabandt interviews cybersecurity strategist and author JC Gaillard. Drawing on decades of experience in financial institutions and global organisations, JC Gaillard explains why the first hundred days of a CISO are critical for establishing long term cybersecurity impact. The discussion explores leadership, governance and execution in cybersecurity and introduces JC Gaillard's 666 framework for navigating the early months of a new CISO role. Topics include: • Why many CISOs struggle to create lasting impact • The cybersecurity spiral of failure in large organisations • The leadership nature of the modern CISO role • The 666 framework for the first 100 days • Moving beyond compliance towards real business value • Why execution is the central challenge of cybersecurity strategy This conversation between Niels Brabandt and JC Gaillard provides strategic insights for executives, board members and cybersecurity leaders responsible for protecting modern organisations.

Lou Eichenbaum, former Chief Information Security Officer at the U.S. Department of the Interior and current Federal CTO at ColorTokens joins the show for a deep dive into the evolving world of federal cybersecurity. We dive into firsthand insights on what it really means to balance mission enablement with effective risk management and why today's CISO must act not just as a security expert, but as an executive risk manager focused on resilience, communication, and strategic alignment. We unpack what real zero trust implementation looks like beyond the buzzword, why micro-segmentation is foundational to preventing lateral movement and building mission resilience, and how federal agencies can move beyond compliance checklists toward meaningful security outcomes. We also discuss candid perspectives on what drives cybersecurity priorities inside federal agencies and and how zero trust principles will play a critical role in protecting both IT and critical infrastructure systems in the years ahead.

Have you ever wondered why "compliance" still gets treated like a slow, spreadsheet-heavy chore, even though the rest of the business is moving at machine speed? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Matt Hillary, Chief Information Security Officer at Drata, to talk about what actually changes when AI and automation land in the middle of governance, risk, and compliance. Matt brings a rare viewpoint because he lives this day-to-day as "customer zero," running Drata internally while also leading IT, security, GRC, and enterprise apps. We get practical fast. Matt shares how AI-assisted questionnaire workflows can turn a 120-question security assessment from a late-afternoon time sink into something you can complete with confidence in minutes, then still make it upstairs in time for dinner. He also explains how automation flips the audit dynamic by moving from random sampling to continuous, full-population checks, using APIs to validate evidence at scale, without hounding control owners unless something is actually wrong. We also talk about what security leadership really looks like when the stakes rise. Matt reflects on lessons from his time at AWS, why curiosity and adaptability matter when the "canvas" keeps changing, and how customer focus becomes the foundation of trust. That theme runs through the whole conversation, including the idea that the CISO role is steadily turning into a chief trust officer role, where integrity, transparency, and credibility under pressure matter as much as tooling. And because burnout is never far away in security, we dig into the human side too. Matt unpacks how automation can reduce cognitive load, but also warns about swapping one kind of pressure for another, especially when teams get trapped producing endless dashboards and vanity metrics instead of focusing on the few measures that actually reduce risk. To wrap things up, Matt leaves a song for the playlist, Illenium's "You're Alive," plus a book recommendation, "Lessons from the Front Lines, Insights from a Cybersecurity Career" by Asaf Karen, which he says stands out for how it treats the human side of security leadership. If you're thinking about modernizing compliance in 2026 without losing the human element, his parting principle is simple and powerful: be intentional, keep asking why, and spend your limited time on what truly matters. So where do you land on this shift toward continuous trust, do you see it becoming the default expectation for buyers and auditors, and what should leaders do now to make sure automation reduces pressure instead of quietly adding more? Share your thoughts with me, I'd love to hear how you're approaching it.

Ob Stromnetze, Krankenhäuser, Logistikzentren oder Rechenzentren – nahezu alle kritischen Infrastrukturen sind heute digital vernetzt und damit unmittelbar vom Internet abhängig. Cyberangriffe, Ransomware, Desinformationskampagnen oder gezielte Angriffe auf Lieferketten zeigen, dass Verwundbarkeit längst nicht mehr nur physisch, sondern vor allem digital entsteht. Mit dem KRITIS-Dachgesetz und der Umsetzung der NIS2-Richtlinie reagiert Deutschland auf diese veränderte Bedrohungslage. Ziel ist es, kritische Einrichtungen systematisch gegen Cyberangriffe, hybride Bedrohungen und systemische IT-Ausfälle abzusichern. Doch stärkt der neue Rechtsrahmen tatsächlich die Resilienz im digitalen Raum oder erhöht er vor allem die regulatorische Komplexität für Unternehmen und Behörden? In dieser Folge von „Das Ohr am Netz“ diskutieren Sidonie Krug und Sven Oswald die sicherheitspolitischen, regulatorischen und operativen Dimensionen des neuen Gesetzes. Klaus Landefeld, Vorstand bei eco – Verband der Internetwirtschaft e.V., ordnet das Gesetz ordnungspolitisch ein: Handelt es sich um einen Paradigmenwechsel oder primär um einen Ordnungsrahmen? Welche Risiken entstehen durch parallele Compliance-Strukturen mit NIS2? Und droht eine formale Pflichterfüllung statt echter Resilienz? Die operative Perspektive bringt Lisa Fröhlich, Corporate Communications bei Link11, ein. Sie analysiert die aktuelle DDoS-Bedrohungslage und erläutert, warum Webseiten längst geschäfts- und versorgungskritische Infrastruktur sind. Im Fokus stehen Prävention, Reaktionsfähigkeit und die organisatorische Verantwortung für IT-Resilienz. Die sicherheitspolitische Einordnung übernimmt Oberst Guido Schulte, Chief Information Security Officer bei der Bundeswehr. Er erklärt, welche Rolle KRITIS im Kontext gesamtstaatlicher Verteidigungsfähigkeit spielt, wie hybride Bedrohungen „unterhalb der Schwelle“ wirken und wie Bundeswehr, Wirtschaft und Behörden im Ernstfall zusammenarbeiten. Die Folge beleuchtet das Spannungsfeld zwischen Regulierung und strategischer Resilienz – und fragt, wie belastbar Deutschlands Schutzschild tatsächlich ist. --- Redaktion: Erik Jödicke, Christin Müller, Irmeline Uhlmann, Anja Wittenburg Schnitt: David Grassinger Moderation: Sidonie Krug, Sven Oswald Produktion: eco – Verband der Internetwirtschaft e.V.

“Cybersecurity really is just another risk. I think where we complicate it sometimes is in the language we use to talk about it.” - Steve TorinoThank you for tuning in to The CUInsight Network, with your host, Robbie Young, Vice President of Strategic Growth at CUInsight. In The CUInsight Network, we take a deeper dive with the thought leaders who support the credit union community. We discuss issues and challenges facing credit unions and identify best practices to learn and grow together.My guest on today's show is Steve Torino, Chief Information Security Officer at Synergent. Steve's path to cybersecurity was not a straight line, and he didn't grow up dreaming about credit unions or information security. What stayed constant, though, was a deep curiosity about technology and how systems work, which eventually carried him from community banking to national payment processing and ultimately to Synergent.In our conversation, we spend a lot of time talking about what effective cybersecurity governance actually looks like for credit unions and why it is so important. Steve breaks down how governance starts at the board level, how expectations flow through management, and why cybersecurity should be treated like any other form of enterprise risk. We also dig into collaboration and information sharing—one of the credit union movement's biggest strengths, and Steve points to leagues and professional groups as ways that credit unions can learn from one another.As we wrap up the episode, Steve talks about the mentor that influenced his life, how he loves traveling to Dallas, recommends a cybersecurity book that every can use, and more!

AI agents are moving from experimental tools to everyday enterprise workflows. Reporting live from AWS re:Invent 2025 in Las Vegas for Irish Tech News, I attended a press-only briefing titled Security and the Rise of AI Agents, where senior AWS leaders Amy Herzog, Chief Information Security Officer, Hart Rossman, Vice President in the Office of the CISO, Gea Rinehouse, Vice President of Security Services and Neha Rungta, Director of Applied Science outlined how the company intends to manage this transition. AWS is pushing ahead with autonomous agents, but only within a security model built on long-standing principles: identity, governance, compliance and clear oversight. What is an AI Agent? An AI agent is a software system that uses artificial intelligence to carry out tasks autonomously in pursuit of a specific goal. Unlike chatbots that only respond to prompts, an agent can reason, plan and take action across different steps of a workflow. It can use tools such as web services or APIs, monitor its progress and adjust its approach as conditions change. Over time, it can improve its performance based on the data and experience it gathers. This distinction matters, because the rise of agents raises new questions about accountability, access, oversight and safety. Security First AWS chief executive Matt Garman shaped much of the week's discussion. Speaking about the reality facing engineering teams, he noted: "Every customer wants their products to be secure, but you have trade-offs. Where do you spend your time? Do you improve the security of existing features, or do you ship new ones?" The briefing returned to this point several times. AWS's position is that strong design-stage security reduces the tension between improvement and innovation. Agents are seen as an opportunity to reinforce security, not dilute it. AWS Security Agent One of the major announcements at re:Invent was the preview of AWS Security Agent. The tool brings several security checks forward in the development process. It reviews designs, analyses code, gathers richer signals for incident response and performs penetration testing that reflects real system behaviour rather than generic patterns. AWS Security Agent is one of the new Frontier Agents introduced at re:Invent, a family of autonomous tools designed to handle multi-step tasks across development, security and operations. Neha Rungta described the significance of this shift. She called the Security Agent "one of these frontier AI agents, a sophisticated class of AI agents that are autonomous and scalable and can work for long periods without human intervention. Security doesn't have to be an afterthought." She added that AWS is expanding its proof-based assurance tools so teams can understand correctness without being specialists in system logic. The broader point is that verification needs to be continuous, not episodic. Guardrails for Autonomy The panel stressed that agents must operate within strict boundaries. Updated policy controls in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore allow organisations to specify what an agent can do, which systems it can reach and how its actions are logged and reviewed. Hart Rossman remarked that each major technology shift has increased the demands placed on security teams. With agents running for extended periods and across more systems, the real pressure points now are scale and speed. Guardrails are essential. The Sandbox Approach A theme repeated throughout the session was the use of sandbox environments. AWS encouraged organisations to test new agents in isolation before considering production use. This allows teams to observe long-running behaviour, confirm access paths, check escalation rules and understand how an agent reacts under different conditions. The sandbox was presented as a practical way to build confidence gradually rather than relying on assumptions. Inside the Press Briefing Questions focused on monitoring autonomy, preventing agents from widening their scope...

AI agents are moving fast, and security teams are scrambling to keep up.Join us as Heather Ceylan, SVP & Chief Information Security Officer at Box, who has spent the last several years leading security teams through rapid change from the explosive growth years at Zoom to her current work shaping Box's AI posture.Heather shares what it actually feels like to run security at a time when agents can be created in minutes, permissions matter more than ever, and governance committees are struggling to keep pace. She explains why treating agents as identities fundamentally changes the model, how MCP servers introduce new exposure points, and why her team is embedding AI directly into SOC work, design reviews, and vulnerability remediation.It's a grounded look at how a CISO makes sense of AI while everything around the role continues to shift.In this episode, you'll learn:Why agents need their own identities and permissions rather than inheriting access from the people who create themHow SOC teams can shift from constant alert triage to real threat hunting with the help of AI agentsHow AI can speed up vulnerability remediation by creating pull requests that engineers only need to review and mergeThings to listen for: (00:00) Meet Heather Ceylan(00:58) Career path from healthcare to Zoom to Box(03:58) Risks of AI agents accessing unstructured content(05:18) Why agent identity and permissions are the new priority(06:50) The challenge of discovering and governing ephemeral agents(08:16) How sandboxes and policies support safe experimentation(09:20) AI governance gaps and the need for dedicated ownership(13:10) Defining AI governance across technical and legal domains(16:17) The rise of MCP servers and new exposure points(18:05) Four AI bets transforming Box's SOC and security workflows(23:31) KPIs and measuring AI's impact on security teams(25:27) Resource trade-offs when adopting AI in security(27:58) Managing the complexity of model selection and trust(29:58) Should companies form dedicated AI security teams?

What Security Congress Reveals About the State of CybersecurityThis discussion focuses on what ISC2 Security Congress represents for practitioners, leaders, and organizations navigating constant technological change. Jon France, Chief Information Security Officer at ISC2, shares how the event brings together thousands of cybersecurity practitioners, certification holders, chapter leaders, and future professionals to exchange ideas on the issues shaping the field today.  Themes That Stand OutAI remains a central point of attention. France notes that organizations are grappling not only with adoption but with the shift in speed it introduces. Sessions highlight how analysts are beginning to work alongside automated systems that sift through massive data sets and surface early indicators of compromise. Rather than replacing entry-level roles, AI changes how they operate and accelerates the decision-making path. Quantum computing receives a growing share of focus as well. Attendees hear about timelines, standards emerging from NIST, and what preparedness looks like as cryptographic models shift.  Identity-based attacks and authorization failures also surface throughout the program. With machine-driven compromises becoming easier to scale, the community explores new defenses, stronger controls, and the practical realities of machine-to-machine trust. Operational technology, zero trust, and machine-speed threats create additional urgency around modernizing security operations centers and rethinking human-to-machine workflows.  A Place for Every Stage of the CareerFrance describes Security Congress as a cross-section of the profession: entry-level newcomers, certification candidates, hands-on practitioners, and CISOs who attend for leadership development. Workshops explore communication, business alignment, and critical thinking skills that help professionals grow beyond technical execution and into more strategic responsibilities.  Looking Ahead to the Next CongressThe next ISC2 Security Congress will be held in October in the Denver/Aurora area. France expects AI and quantum to remain key themes, along with contributions shaped by the call-for-papers process. What keeps the event relevant each year is the mix of education, networking, community stories, and real-world problem-solving that attendees bring with them.The ISC2 Security Congress 2025 is a hybrid event taking place from October 28 to 30, 2025 Coverage provided by ITSPmagazineGUEST:Jon France, Chief Information Security Officer at ISC2 | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonfrance/HOST:Sean Martin, Co-Founder, ITSPmagazine and Studio C60 | Website: https://www.seanmartin.comFollow our ISC2 Security Congress coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/cybersecurity-technology-society-events/isc2-security-congress-2025Catch all of our event coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/technology-and-cybersecurity-conference-coverageISC2 Security Congress: https://www.isc2.orgNIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standards: https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/post-quantum-cryptographyISC2 Chapters: https://www.isc2.org/chaptersWant to share an Event Briefing as part of our event coverage?

Campbell's soup is in hot water over what Campbell's Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer, Martin Bally, was recorded saying: “We have s**t for f***king poor people. Who buys our s**t? I don't buy f**king Campbell's products barely anymore. It's not healthy now that I know what the f**k's in it. Even in a can of soup, I look at it…'bioengineered meat.'”... “I don't wanna eat a f**king, a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer. Do you?”Campbell's responded by saying: "We are proud of the food we make, the people who make it and the high-quality ingredients we use. The comments on the recording are not only inaccurate – they are patently absurd. Keep in mind, the alleged comments are made by an IT person, who has nothing to do with how we make our food. If the recording is legitimate, the comments are unacceptable. They do not reflect our values and the culture of our company... The chicken meat used in our soups comes from long-trusted, USDA-approved US suppliers and meets our high quality standards. All of our soups are made with No Antibiotics Ever chicken meat, meaning we don't allow antibiotics to be added to the feed, water, or any commercial vaccines used by our chicken suppliers."But there are some problems here. Campbell's admits on their website that most of their base ingredients are GMO, which are not "high quality" and only imply that more expensive ingredients like meat are very likely to be "bioengineered." Their misleading comments and lies are just reason alone to boycott the company entirely, especially for thanksgiving. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.
