TL;DR: This week's episode is what happens when I go on vacation and have a little time to think. So here we go - let's talk about this Jaguar Land Rover was compromised and ransomware spread. The damage has been 'extensive' to the point where they stopped everything... are there any lessons here?

TL;DR: This week's returning guest is Doug Cavit, but this time he's here to talk about the Internet apocalypse.

TL;DR: Michael Reichstein joins the pod this week to talk about "rock star CISOs" and those who trade equity for their souls.

TL;DR: This is one of the most important episodes we've done on this podcast. The CISO and CIO have a complicated, dynamic, and often ugly relationship - but what should it be like? How can the two work together and evolve their roles together, for the benefit of everyone in the business? Larry Whiteside, Jr. ( Co-Founder and President at Confide) and Dennis McDonald ( Chief Information & Security Officer at Jack Henry ) lay down a conversation that's worth a repeated listen.

TL;DR: This week's episode came from my (Rafal) brain. I've been reading far too much LinkedIn, and the "influencer" postings have been making me crazy. So, here we are. We talk through some of these posts, many of which are AI generated I think, and have a little fun with it. Call it...therapy.

TL;DR: On this episode, part 4 of our AI series, we are once again joined by Raja Mukerji, Jeff Collins, and John Dickson to discuss what it means to think about security for AI. Is it something completely different? Is it something same-'ol? Or - is it a bit of both. And what aren't we thinking about when it comes to securing AI?

TL;DR: This week I bring John Dickson back to join Jeff Collins and Raja Mukerji as we talk through the following: What can AI do, for cyber security, that we can't do with current tools?What is the model for incorporating AI into cybersecurity - are we replacing people? augmenting people? both? neither?Where is AI the strongest in these use-cases today, and where is the promise for 12 - 36 months out?What are the LIMITATIONS for AI in cybersecurity? Are these short-term limitations, or long-...
TL;DR: This week John Dickson returns to go deeper down the AI rabbit hole with special guest Erik Bloch as we dive into a more technical explanation of AI, how this innovation differs from other similar concepts, previous tech innovations, and some of the commercial vs consumer use-cases where AI is best suited. It's a deeper discussion, and we will for sure have a part 3, and likely 4 coming soon. YouTube video: https://youtube.com/live/QXi6ed2NKhc Have something to say? Let's hear it. Supp...
TL;DR: So - Artificial Intelligence (AI)...incomprehensible good, or catastrophic evil? Both? And what does that depend on? This episode is the start of a series wherein we explore the potential good or bad of AI, what the dependencies are. and what kinds of branches of discussion there could be. Join us as we discuss a generational topic, with some of our best guests starting with John Dickson. Required listening: Episode 654 w/Sounil Yu ( https://dtsr.buzzsprout.com/2153215/episod...
TL;DR: This week's episode asks the question - is it possible to give AI "discretion" (which feels like a uniquely human concept)? And if so - what would that look like, and how can this help a society that's hurling headlong into an AI future from destroying secrecy as we know it? Sounil Yu from Knostic joins Rafal & James to think through the problem - complete with visuals! If that sounds a little dramatic, you'll enjoy the episode, because this problem is very real and those outside s...
