⬥GUEST⬥Ken Huang, Co-Chair, AI Safety Working Groups at Cloud Security Alliance | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenhuang8/⬥HOST⬥Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/imsmartin/ | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com⬥EPISODE NOTES⬥In this episode of Redefining CyberSecurity, host Sean Martin speaks with Ken Huang, Co-Chair of the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) AI Working Group and author of several books including Generative AI Security and the upcoming Agent AI: Theory and Practice. The conversation centers on what agentic AI is, how it is being implemented, and what security, development, and business leaders need to consider as adoption grows.Agentic AI refers to systems that can autonomously plan, execute, and adapt tasks using large language models (LLMs) and integrated tools. Unlike traditional chatbots, agentic systems handle multi-step workflows, delegate tasks to specialized agents, and dynamically respond to inputs using tools like vector databases or APIs. This creates new possibilities for business automation but also introduces complex security and governance challenges.Practical Applications and Emerging Use CasesKen outlines current use cases where agentic AI is being applied: startups using agentic models to support scientific research, enterprise tools like Salesforce's AgentForce automating workflows, and internal chatbots acting as co-workers by tapping into proprietary data. As agentic AI matures, these systems may manage travel bookings, orchestrate ticketing operations, or even assist in robotic engineering—all with minimal human intervention.Implications for Development and Security TeamsDevelopment teams adopting agentic AI frameworks—such as AutoGen or CrewAI—must recognize that most do not come with out-of-the-box security controls. Ken emphasizes the need for SDKs that add authentication, monitoring, and access controls. For IT and security operations, agentic systems challenge traditional boundaries; agents often span across cloud environments, demanding a zero-trust mindset and dynamic policy enforcement.Security leaders are urged to rethink their programs. Agentic systems must be validated for accuracy, reliability, and risk—especially when multiple agents operate together. Threat modeling and continuous risk assessment are no longer optional. Enterprises are encouraged to start small: deploy a single-agent system, understand the workflow, validate security controls, and scale as needed.The Call for Collaboration and Mindset ShiftAgentic AI isn't just a technological shift—it requires a cultural one. Huang recommends cross-functional engagement and alignment with working groups at CSA, OWASP, and other communities to build resilient frameworks and avoid duplicated effort. Zero Trust becomes more than an architecture—it becomes a guiding principle for how agentic AI is developed, deployed, and defended.⬥SPONSORS⬥LevelBlue: https://itspm.ag/attcybersecurity-3jdk3ThreatLocker: https://itspm.ag/threatlocker-r974⬥RESOURCES⬥BOOK | Generative AI Security: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-54252-7BOOK | Agentic AI: Theories and Practices, to be published August by Springer: https://link.springer.com/book/9783031900259BOOK | The Handbook of CAIO (with a business focus): https://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Chief-AI-Officers-Revolution/dp/B0DFYNXGMRMore books at Amazon, including books published by Cambridge University Press and John Wiley, etc.: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Ken-Huang/author/B0D3J7L7GNVideo Course Mentioned During this Episode: "Generative AI for Cybersecurity" video course by EC-Council with 255 people rated averaged 5 starts: https://codered.eccouncil.org/course/generative-ai-for-cybersecurity-course?logged=falsePodcast: The 2025 OWASP Top 10 for LLMs: What's Changed and Why It Matters | A Conversation with Sandy Dunn and Rock Lambros⬥ADDITIONAL INFORMATION⬥✨ More Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast:

He had started his career teaching economics at the University of Utah, and spent a year in the Special Studies section of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, Washington, D.C.  He has been a visiting scholar at the State University of New York (Albany) in Mathematics and Economics, and at the Institute for Advanced Study at the University of Bologna in Statistics. He had been a research assistant at the Center for Studies in Population Planning, University of Michigan School of Public Health during graduate studies. He is the author of two published books, JUST PLAIN WRONG: The dalliance of quantum theory with the defiance of Bell's inequality (Austin Macauley, 2024) and Operational Subjective Statistical Methods: a mathematical, philosophical, and historical introduction (John Wiley, 1996). Lad speaks four languages: English, French, Italian, and Hindustani. Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio into a large family of nine children, he is a dual citizen of the United States and New Zealand.  He currently resides in NZ, tending his garden and tutoring neighborhood children in arithmetic.

Civics education in American public schools began to significantly decline in the 1960s, leaving many students without any knowledge of how our government works and about the historical significance of events. With misinformation polluting social media, some believe that civics education should begin at home, with parents teaching their kids how to understand and navigate the system. It's all laid out in a new book, “How to Raise a Citizen and Why It's Up to You to Do It,” written by Lindsey Cormack and published by John Wiley and Sons. Cormack joined NY1's Errol Louis to discuss her book and the crucial role parents play in teaching their children about civics. They discussed the importance of understanding and navigating the political system, not only to facilitate voting but also to strengthen or save democracy. They also talked about how some families still feel it is taboo to talk about politics, and how efforts today can sow the seeds for a robust, vibrant democracy of tomorrow.

Johann Gutenbergs tryckpress i mitten av 1400-talet gjorde det möjligt för böcker att spridas snabbare, billigare och till en större publik än någonsin tidigare. Resultatet blev en kulturell revolution som bidrog till framväxten av den moderna världen. Boken blev inte bara ett verktyg för individuell kunskapsinhämtning utan också en kraft som formade samhällen, idéströmningar och maktstrukturer.Från reformationens intensiva produktion av pamfletter till 1800-talets sociala rörelser och industrialiseringens accelererade bokflöde fortsatte böcker att spela en central roll i samhällets förändring.Detta är det andra av två avsnitt av podden Historia Nu om hur bokformat format våra samhällen. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Joel Halldorf, professor i kyrkohistoria vid Enskilda Högskolan i Stockholm och aktuell med boken Bokens folk – En civilisationshistoria från papyrus till pixlar.Johann Gutenbergs tryckpress möjliggjorde snabb och standardiserad reproduktion av text. Genom att skapa rörliga bokstavstyper i metall kunde boksidor komponerade en gång användas om och om igen, vilket gjorde bokproduktionen både effektivare och billigare. Detta gjorde böcker mer tillgängliga och bidrog till spridningen av kunskap och idéer på ett sätt som aldrig tidigare varit möjligt​​.Boktryckarkonsten hade en omedelbar och djupgående effekt på samhället. Under reformationen använde Martin Luther och hans följare tryckpressen för att massproducera skrifter och pamfletter som spreds över hela Europa. Mellan 1518 och 1525 publicerades 1 465 tryckningar av Luthers skrifter – en produktion som var central för reformationens framgång​. Tryckpressen underminerade kyrkans kunskapsmonopol, och boken blev en symbol för individuell frihet och upplysning​.Under upplysningstiden blev böcker tillgängliga för allt fler samhällsgrupper. Läsningens cirklar vidgades från aristokratin och prästerskapet till borgerskapet, och senare till bönder och arbetare. Böcker blev verktyg för spridning av upplysningens ideal och en alltmer global dialog om mänskliga rättigheter och vetenskap​​.Under denna tid utgjorde boken en brygga mellan lokala kulturer och en framväxande nationell identitet. Böcker och pamfletter bidrog till att skapa en gemensam referensram och lade grunden för nya idéer om politiskt deltagande och demokrati​​.Bild: Detta träsnitt från 1568 visar den vänstra skrivaren som tar bort en sida från pressen medan den till höger färgar textblocken. En sådan duo skulle kunna nå 14 000 handrörelser per arbetsdag, trycka ca. 3 600 sidor på gång. Av Jost Amman - Träsnittsillustration i boken "Ständebuch" från 1568, återgiven i "Meggs, Philip B.

He started Impact Products Marketing in 1997 and grew its sales by speaking throughout the USA pitching advertising services to professional practices of lawyers, doctors, dentists, chiropractors, and real estate professionals. He found it made any business grow exponentially faster by mastering the use of selling one-to-many versus one-on-one. This simple twist in marketing grew Impact Products to a business generating more than $10,000,000 USD in less than 3 years. His agency was sold to Halo Branded Solutions in 2008. He has self-published several books with one published in 2008 by John Wiley and Sons with “The Silent Salesmen.” It was translated into German and sold more than 16,000 copies in a niche market.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Saga of the Earls of Orkney, as told in the 13th Century by an unknown Icelander. This was the story of arguably the most important, strategically, of all the islands in the British Viking world, when the Earls controlled Shetland, Orkney and Caithness from which they could raid the Irish and British coasts, from Dublin round to Lindisfarne. The Saga combines myth with history, bringing to life the places on those islands where Vikings met, drank, made treaties, told stories, became saints, plotted and fought.With Judith Jesch Professor of Viking Studies at the University of NottinghamJane Harrison Archaeologist and Research Associate at Oxford and Newcastle UniversitiesAnd Alex Woolf Senior Lecturer in History at the University of St AndrewsProducer: Simon TillotsonIn Our Time is a BBC Studios Audio ProductionReading list:Theodore M.
