In this episode of InfoSec Pros On the Road at RSA 2024, I had the pleasure of interviewing Brenda Bernal, VP of Product Security and Compliance at Digicert. It was a great opportunity to finally meet Brenda in person after numerous Zoom calls. We discussed various topics, starting with the advancements in AI governance and the key risks organizations should focus on, including data privacy, security, and third-party risk management.
Brenda shared her insights on integrating AI into existing control frameworks and the importance of sustainability and adaptability in AI governance. She emphasized the need for transparency in AI implementations and how it parallels the evolution of ESG reporting.
We also explored the benefits of automation in GRC processes, drawing from Brenda’s experience as an external auditor and her current work with platforms like Hyperproof. The discussion highlighted the significant time savings and improved risk management that automation brings to compliance efforts.

While a single crime is not that profitable, there have been cases where groups have reaped millions of dollars by charging small amounts to hundreds of thousands of consumers, he said.

Discord relies heavily on server moderators to enforce community rules, IEEE Senior Member Kayne McGladrey said via email. This moderation is done on a server-by-server basis.
“In practice, this enables smaller private servers to feature far more informal conversations and rules than a public community server – it’s possible that kids can see hateful content, such as racism or cyber-bullying, happen on these types of servers where the moderators are less engaged,” McGladrey added.

Note that this supposes a certain degree of human interaction with the AI to make judgment calls about whether an unusual behavior is appropriate. My home AI doesn’t have the authority to tell me that my lights shouldn’t talk to my speakers. Instead, it needs my approval, given a default deny policy. This is a good thing, as I’m a compensating control against black swan events or an IoT threat actor training my AI on bad data.
