The Importance of Supply Chain Risk Management in Government
ByKayne“You can never get risk to zero, but you can mitigate risk to an acceptable level for that agency or that project,” McGladrey says. “You need to know what risks you can accept and what you have done to mitigate the potential damage associated with those risks.”
Q&A: Security Thought Leaders Discuss Certs, SMEs & Hiring Process
ByKayneOne way to combat that involves grassroots efforts to boost the ranks. But do security teams search for qualified, seasoned experts, and do they look for specialization or the proverbial “generalist” who can cover many corners of the cyber space? It is an ongoing debate in the industry, and today, we’ve brought together two security thought leaders to provide their take. We sat down with Kayne McGladrey, Co-Founder and Spokesperson, Include Security, and Rebecca Wynn, Head of Information Security and Data Protection Officer (DPO), Senior Director, Matrix Medical Network.
Boards need to brush up on cybersecurity governance, survey finds
ByKayneCISOs now face substantial personal risks, as seen in cases like Uber and SolarWinds where the SEC has taken legal action against the security chiefs. The primary risk is both personal and professional liability for the CISO, according to Kayne McGladrey, field CISO at Hyperproof.

AI system poisoning is a growing threat — is your security regime ready?
ByKayneAlthough motivations like that mean any organization using AI could be a victim, Kayne McGladrey, a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), a nonprofit professional association, and field CISO at Hyperproof, says he expects hackers will be more likely to target the tech companies making and training AI systems.
But CISOs shouldn’t breathe a sigh of relief, McGladrey says, as their organizations could be impacted by those attacks if they are using the vendor-supplied corrupted AI systems.
