Data loss prevention vendors tackle gen AI data risks

Save the date for a very special “The CISO Experience” hosted by myself with our star guest Kayne McGladrey taking a Macro Economic view of the industry. Kayne McGladrey, CISSP is the cybersecurity strategist for Ascent Solutions and a senior member of the @IEEE. He has over two decades of experience in cybersecurity and has served as a CISO and advisory board member, and focuses on the policy, social, and economic effects of cybersecurity lapses to individuals, companies, and the nation.

Very honoured to have Kayne as a speaker where we will be discussing a variety of topics including:

• Industry hiring practises

• Gatekeeping

• Burnout

• Followed by a LIVE Q and A for the audience to participate

In a world where compliance and engineering teams must work together to build compliant products, competing goals and philosophies can make collaboration frustrating for both sides. Join representatives from Instacart as they share their story on how they worked with engineering to build a compliant product, best practices for collaborating across teams to build scalable, compliant solutions and how to foster a culture of security and compliance across your organization.

After completing this session, participants will be able to:

• Build more credibility with engineering teams.

• Incorporate features that enable compliance into products.

•  Work with your engineering team—not against them—to build high-quality, compliant products.

•  Make long-term continuous compliance a reality with automation tools.

Kayne and Tom talk about personnel security, background checks, what FedRAMP requires for onboarding and terminating employees as well as a host of tips and tricks for meeting this control family. Of course, they try a new beer and maybe, just maybe, agree on the score.

A hacker can say that an institution has 90 days to fix a vulnerability before publicly divulging the secret, and for the vulnerable bank or credit union, that might come off as extortion or a threat. However, it is well within the boundaries of normal security research to do that, according to Kayne McGladrey, Field CISO for the security and compliance company Hyperproof.

“If the company doesn’t respond in a timely manner, that’s where you can get vulnerability disclosures after a reasonable period of time, like 90 or 120 days, or 180 days, depending on which philosophy the researcher subscribes to,” McGladrey said. “That’s all well within the ethical boundaries of a normal security researcher.”

The key difference between an ethical and unethical hacker — between extortion and responsible disclosure — is what the hacker does with the vulnerability.

“I think it’s very possible to say you can prove you can use this vulnerability — maybe it’s to steal a whole bunch of credit card information — without actually doing it,” McGladrey said. “You just show that you can.

For some organizations CCPA will require a total overhaul on their privacy policies, while others might only need to make minor changes due to existing GDPR compliance. But as Kayne McGladrey, Chief Information Security Officer at Pensar Development, pointed out, there will certainly be another round of endless privacy disclosure emails.

This was the 7th series of WebForum which was in line with this year’s International CyberSecurity Awareness Month theme “See you in cyber – #becybersmart” held on 28th October 2022.
