Latino Donor Collaborative’s Post

There are a few slots still available for our AI meetup in Boston at the end of this month. Join the discussion about how AI will affect all areas of business. If you're local, I hope you can join.

Last week, I had the opportunity to team up with Mark Petersen and Michelle Linders Wagner at the 2024 Official Cybersecurity Summit in Seattle/Bellevue, where we delved into the critical pillars of cyber-readiness, the role of boards in cybersecurity, and the transformative potential of Generative AI. While our focus was intended to be on cyber-readiness, the conversation took an intriguing turn towards AI. We emphasized the importance of advocating for GenAI while ensuring effective governance to earn trust and become allies in its usage. Another standout point was the need to understand the altitude of board members, set the frame for communicating security programs effectively, and leverage their expertise to identify blind spots and ask the right questions - which ultimately brought us back to the essence of cyber-readiness: relationships and resilience. It's about understanding the current capabilities, depth, and maturity of our systems, and the critical role relationships play in addressing crises. Overall, I walked away from the conversation having a deeper appreciation for how crucial it is to forge new connections within organizations. Understanding functions, methodologies, and contributions is essential to discerning our roles and cultivating the necessary relationships - enabling all us to leverage our full set of capabilities when the need arises. Thanks for having me! #Cybersecurity #Cybersecurity #CyberReadiness #OfficialCybersecuritySummit

In this interview with TechFinitive.com, Enveil Founder and CEO Ellison Anne Williams talks about the importance of data-centric security, GenAI, and the threats that should be top of mind for security leaders. What are the biggest cybersecurity challenges those in leadership roles are facing? "One of the most challenging aspects of cybersecurity is the constantly shifting landscape. New vulnerabilities emerge, additional regulations are introduced, and organizational priorities change — sometimes significantly. We saw a seismic shift in the last 18 months as AI capabilities became increasingly prominent, requiring leaders to understand how to protect against new threats while also exploring how these tools can help protect networks and systems. Additionally, most security challenges are inherently cross-functional, which means leaders need to navigate and coordinate across an organization’s internal silos. This requires a significant time commitment by cybersecurity leaders beyond the core functions of their roles."

Scott Hesford, Senior Director, Solutions Engineering, APJ at BeyondTrust hosted a breakout session at the 14th Annual CISO Leaders Australia Summit 2024 in Melbourne titled " The Essential Eight: Overcoming Your Challenges with PAM". Scott discussed the challenge of enhancing maturity within the Essential Eight framework. Many organisations find strategies like application control and restricting admin privileges daunting due to potential impacts on productivity. However, modern PAM solutions can bridge the gap by supporting these requirements and providing compensating controls. Key takeways from this session include: - How organisations are approaching the Essential Eight - How PAM aligns with the Essential Eight strategies, including recent updates - Best practices for implementing these strategies effectively #CISO #cioseries #cisoseries #ciotechasia #onetoonemeetings #technologyleaders #cisoleaders #it #cybersecurity #roundtables #speakingengagements #keynotespeakers #focusnetwork #focusnetworkevents #summits #generativeai #itsecurity #TechLeadership #AI #AITransformation #Ransomware #DataSecurity
