    You can't encrypt humans. And quantum won't change that. Even with strong encryption, everything is decrypted at the endpoints - the devices and systems people actually use. As an executive, this is the conversation to be having with your team right now. Attackers are focused on the point where data becomes available because humans need to use it - it's the who, what, where of your business. That’s what they go after. If you're in DFIR, this isn’t new. But for boards and execs, it needs to be top of mind. With AI and quantum moving fast, it’s time to rethink how we defend the same ground we’ve been standing on. Start with what you can control. Know what’s running in your environment, who’s interacting with it, and how it behaves.

    When I first started in cybersecurity, I had no idea what I was doing. Now, with AI, we’re all learners again. AI changes weekly. New models drop, businesses rush to implement, and security teams are left figuring out the risks in real time. Move too slow, you fall behind. Move too fast, you open new attack surfaces. That’s why on March 31 at the SANS AI Summit, we’re releasing the Critical AI Security Guidelines v1.0, a set of core security standards that will help lower risk and increase trust in your AI capabilities. Summit attendees get exclusive early access before public release. After the event, the draft opens for public comments to refine and improve it. If you’re working with AI security, this is where you want to be. March 30–April 1. Virtual is free, but in person is where the real discussions happen. Join me and my cochair Kate Marshall for the SANS Institute AI Summit: https://lnkd.in/dthhmXqD

  • 🔐 AI is transforming security, but are your controls keeping up? The Critical Al Security Guidelines v1.0 is coming soon—offering expert insights on access controls, data protection, governance, and more. Be the first to access this must-read report when it's released at the SANS AI Summit! 🚀 Pre-register now: https://lnkd.in/edF9b3Ue 📅 Join the #AISummit: https://lnkd.in/eB7W-yyK #AISecurity #AI #Cybersecurity

    Breaking Barriers in Cybersecurity: Mastercard, DEAFCYBERCON 🤝 SANS We’re proud to partner with Mastercard and DEAFCYBERCON to support talented individuals like Jared Husson in launching cybersecurity careers. SANS founder Alan Paller believed in opening new pathways to cybersecurity, ensuring talent isn’t overlooked. This initiative continues that mission by providing training, mentorship, and resources to help students succeed. As Maxwell Shuftan, SANS Director of Mission Programs & Partnerships shares, "The industry is not reaching untapped talent pools enough. You need to engage all communities because myriad career changers and students might not see cybersecurity as a career for them, when in fact it could be." With the growing demand for cybersecurity professionals, investing in new talent strengthens the entire industry. ✨ Read more about this initiative → https://lnkd.in/dnSjEWEQ #Cybersecurity #WorkforceDevelopment #CareersInCyber
