Moving Compliance From Paperwork To Automation

When CISOs work with go-to-market teams, cybersecurity transforms from a mere cost center into a valuable business function. This change is crucial in B2B interactions where robust cybersecurity controls offer a competitive advantage. A centralized inventory of cybersecurity controls, grounded in current and past contracts, helps businesses gauge the financial impact of these partnerships. This inventory also identifies unnecessary or redundant controls, offering an opportunity for cost reduction and operational streamlining. By updating this centralized list after the termination of contracts, the business can further optimize both its security posture and operational costs. This integrated strategy empowers the business to make well-informed, data-driven decisions that enhance profitability while maintaining robust security controls.

TechRepublic reports that generative artificial intelligence has been touted by Hyperproof Field Chief Information Security Officer Kayne McGladrey to not hamper employment opportunities in cybersecurity.

Continuous cyberattack innovation and supply chain diversity among threat actors would ensure that humans will not be displaced by generative AI, said McGladrey in an interview at the Black Hat security conference.

“We’re going to need to continuously adapt the tools that we have with the people we have in order to face the threats and risks that businesses and society continue to face,” said McGladrey.

Compliance is often viewed as a reaction for organizations. The auditing of compliance becomes the event that is anticipated with resources and preparation aligned to culminate in the audit itself. A famous approach used in product development is that launch is a process, not an event. The spirit of that message is important for security leaders to consider in building a sustainable business case for compliance. Compliance should be viewed as a continuous, organizational process.
