“We can audit software code, manually or automatically, for privacy defects,” said IEEE Senior Member Kayne McGladrey. “Similarly, we can audit software code for security defects. We cannot currently audit software code for ethical defects or bias, and much of the coming regulation is going to screen the outcomes of AI models for discriminatory outcomes.”

I’ll be giving a live whiteboarding session in Seattle about hiring veterans and cybersecurity on Nov 5th at 11 AM at Worksource Rainier.

“Tying data security to user identities is the easiest, lowest-effort way to modernize security for small to medium businesses,” says Kayne McGladrey (@kaynemcgladrey), cybersecurity strategist at Ascent Solutions (@meetascent). “Establishing data security based on user identity means that data remains secure regardless of storage location or medium.”

I’ll be on the air live, discussing cyber security with Chris Sommer of KRLD-AM in Dallas, TX today at 1 PM ET.

To reduce the risks of an accidental or intentional cybersecurity incident, companies must deploy an effective data loss prevention and associated data retention strategy across endpoints and data storage locations, including cloud services, noted Kayne McGladrey (@kaynemcgladrey), Security Architect at Ascent Solutions LLC.

“Many data breaches would have been less extensive and severe if organizations had automated data disposition schedules, as threat actors cannot steal what companies are not storing,” he continued. “Data covered by one or more regulatory or statutory requirements should be automatically labeled where possible so that controls (like encryption) follow the data regardless of storage location.”
