As businesses race to embrace AI, security leaders are struggling to modernize cyber hygiene and prevent over-privileged agents from causing unintended harm. How do you balance the benefits of AI with the Risks of AI? Evan McHenry, Chief Information Security Officer at Robinhood Markets, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how to practically implement and secure AI in the enterprise. Evan will share his lessons learned over the last 18 months, including how to communicate with the Board, why you should own Enterprise Architecture and embrace IT, and why you don't have time to argue with your CFO. If you're struggling to balance the benefits of AI with the Risks of AI, this interview is for you. In the leadership and communications segment, Security spending is growing — except for the typical CISO, What Leaders Need to Know About AI and Psychological Safety, The Cyber Gap, and more!

Prompt injection demonstrates one of the major challenges in securing LLMs and agents -- how do you ensure an agent ignores attackers and only does what you instructed it to do. The flaw highlights how LLMs mix inputs, context, and outputs without any strict boundaries between them. Julie Brunias joins us to talk through examples of injections, why their consequences can go beyond information leaks, and why trying to mitigate them with other LLMs is insufficient.

Interview with Rob Sadowski from Cohesity Global Cyber Resilience Report: Cyber Recovery Plans Weren't Designed for this Moment Cyber recovery plans weren't designed for this moment. Most were built around assumptions that made sense when they were written: incidents could be understood, dependencies mapped, recovery could follow a predictable sequence, and decision-makers would have enough information to act. In practice, major cyber incidents unravel those assumptions. AI and autonomous agents are creating new paths to compromise, while cloud and SaaS expansion increases the systems, services, and dependencies involved in recovery. Vulnerabilities are discovered and weaponized faster than ever, and AI is accelerating that cycle. As incidents unfold, scope expands, dependencies appear only when they break, and recovery plans no longer match reality. With assumptions under greater strain, confidence is beginning to erode. This year, the percentage of survey respondents reporting complete confidence in their cyber resilience strategy fell. To understand how recovery unfolds today, Cohesity commissioned Vanson Bourne to survey 3,200 IT and security decision-makers at organizations with 1,000 or more employees across 11 countries. This report examines where recovery becomes more difficult than expected, the obstacles organizations encounter, how they define and test a Minimum Viable Company (MVC), and how AI is reshaping cyber threats and cyber resilience. https://www.cohesity.com/dm/global-cyber-resilience-report/ This segment is sponsored by Cohesity.

I've had an essay in draft form for a month now, trying to get my feelings across on why AI writing drives me so crazy. I struggled to put it into words. Fortunately, Charity Majors figured out how to put it into words and I think she nailed not just how I feel about AI, but the reasons why I feel so strongly about it. She uses a scale to help explain this, with "personal" at one end and "functional" at the other. https://charity.wtf/p/confessions-of-an-unrepentant-slop When I ask AI to create a company profile for me, 10 minutes before I meet with them, I don't need poetry - just facts. But when I read something that is supposedly someone's opinions and analysis on a topic, and it's clearly 100% AI-generated, I angrily dismiss it. I love that this writeup isn't just an "I hate slop" rant - it actually quantifies why a personal touch matters and how to gauge when it is necessary and when outsourcing the task to AI is totally fine. In both cases, Charity notes that quality matters. My most recent complaints come from cases where things are not only clearly written by AI, but where quality went out the window and they're unrecognizable as a human-readable language. And yes, I brought an example: https://dispatch.cybersecurityhq.com/p/escalation-voided-on-construct-failure-timing-condition-placed-under-review Weekly Enterprise News Finally, in the enterprise security news, We check the vibes, funding, and acquisitions Tenable now has Mythos built-in???
