AI Security Brief

Who’s responsible when AI starts making mistakes?

With over two decades of experience spanning global CIO and CISO roles Sachin Jain has a perspective on accountability that goes well beyond the CISO's desk. In this episode, Sachin shares why AI governance is a shared responsibility across the organization, and offers practical advice on one of the biggest challenges security leaders face: learning to speak the board's language.  What we cover: * Who is actually accountable when AI agents make decisions that go wrong * How to build an AI governance framework that holds up under pressure * Breaking down silos across legal, engineering, and the board * Why shadow AI is already happening in your organization, whether you know it or not * How to speak the board's language and translate technical risk into budget approval Why stick around: If you've ever struggled to translate technical risk into budget approval, this conversation is going to resonate.  Episode resources: * Sachin Jain on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jainsachin16/] * Dustin Childs on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/dustincchilds/] * Johnny Hand on LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnny-hand-mba-74781855/?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3BQzJ7aNZKQ6OfV4yS6CytZQ%3D%3D] About AI Security Brief AI Security Brief is where security and technology leaders come to get ahead.

How do we secure applications when anyone can code?

Ashish Rajan doesn’t sugarcoat what it means to be a security leader in the AI era. This is a moment where innovation is outpacing control. Where AI is being embedded into everything, often faster than organizations can understand, govern, or secure it. Ashish is a CISO, trusted advisor, and host of both the Cloud Security Podcast and AI Security Podcast. He is also the author of the upcoming book AI Security Engineering - which he describes as a framework for building and monitoring secure AI systems.  In this episode, Ashish addresses how security leaders can get ahead of the accelerated use of AI in their organization. What we cover: * What happens to your risk posture when non-technical employees start committing code * Why the built-in guardrails from your LLM or cloud provider aren't enough, and why assuming they are is your biggest blind spot * What most incident response playbooks are completely missing when it comes to AI * Practical advice for both security leaders and practitioners on how to get ahead of this Why stick around: If your organization is moving fast on AI adoption, Ashish will tell you plainly what's already exposed, and what to do about it.

How does AI change the economics of cybercrime?

Robert (Bob) McArdle has spent two decades tracking cybercriminals - from ransomware groups to nation-state actors to financially motivated crime organizations. As a result, he has a front-row seat on how agentic AI is reshaping the threat landscape right now. In conversation with hosts Johnny Hand and Dustin Childs, Bob shares why agentic AI is a bigger game changer for cybercriminals than generative AI. What you’ll learn: * How the criminal service economy is being rebuilt around AI, and why it was already perfectly structured for it * The three rules of cybercrime adoption and how to use them to anticipate what's coming * What defenders can actually do when the volume of attacks multiplies Why stick around:  Security teams take note: AI isn't only making phishing emails better. The entire criminal ecosystem has a new AI-driven engine.
