“Multi-factor authentication and passwordless technologies help to protect our digital identities and account credentials from theft or impersonation. This matters just as much to an individual using a hardware key to access their online bank as it does for a corporate employee using facial recognition to access a privileged administrative account.”

– Kayne McGladrey, IEEE Senior Member

The affirmative defenses combined with making strategic decisions based on published facts is a compelling reason for organizations to select and plan to adopt a framework before the start of the next budgetary year.

“The CIO won’t see the business impact if there’s not a culture of risk mitigation,” says Kayne McGladrey, director of security and IT for Pensar Development and a member of the professional association IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).

“A culture where security is seen as someone else’s problem will derail any conversation around security, so the biggest thing for CISOs is to make the conversation with CIOs around risk – not around technologies or shiny objects but around risks to the business.”

Kayne McGladrey, Field CISO at Hyperproof and IEEE Senior Member, noted that the use of generative AI models in business hinges on their ability to provide accurate information. He cited as examples studies of AI models’ abilities to extract information from documents used for financial sector regulation that are frequently relied on to make investment decisions.

“Right now, the best AI models get 80 percent of the questions right,” McGladrey said. “They hallucinate the other 20 percent of the time. That’s not a good sign if you think you are making investment decisions based on artificial intelligence telling you this is a great strategy four out of five times.”

Ever wonder why hackers wear hoodies? Or why should you be concerned if your government job has a good view? Or what the most money-sucking board game is? Well this is the episode for you! We met Kayne’s cat, talked about old computers, ethics issues in AI, funny stories from Kanye’s first job, comical failings of physical security from Kayne’s audit days, and of course board games again!
