    Preventing a Breakout as AI Agent Threats Is One of Three Top CISO Concerns - Rob Allen - BSW #461

    Artificial intelligence has quickly evolved from a productivity tool into an active participant in many organizations' daily operations. As organizations give AI greater autonomy within their environment, they're also granting them access to sensitive systems and data. That creates a new challenge for IT and security teams: How do you enable AI to assist productivity without compromising security? Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how zero trust principles can prevent an AI breakout. Rather than relying solely on the AI tool's built-in safeguards, organizations can choose to enforce security policies using ThreatLocker. Rob will discuss how ThreatLocker can enforce AI boundaries through Allowlisting, Ringfencing™, Endpoint Firewall, and Web Content Control, with Community Policies that govern what agentic AI tools can run, do, access, and reach.

    Domain Security Plus BlackHat USA 2026 Interviews from Balance Theory and WiCyS - Greg Baker, Ihab Shraim, Lynn Dohm - BSW #460

    As cyber threats become more AI-powered, attacks continue to rise. Threats can arise from all areas of a company's IT infrastructure, however most attacks utilize a domain name to infiltrate systems. How secure is your domain ecosystem? Ihab Shraim, Chief Technology Offider at CSC Digital Brand Services, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why domain security is a fundamental blind spot in corporate cybersecurity programs. Ihab will discuss his team's research finding that 67% of Forbes Global 2000 companies have implemented fewer than half of recommended domain security measures. He will also outline the key domain security practices that teams should implement to protect their organization from the risk of domain attacks.

Greg Baker will explore how AI can create a continuously updated understanding of both the enterprise security program and the market around it—giving CISOs the context to model scenarios, prioritize investments, and move from insight to action with greater speed and confidence.

As cybersecurity leaders grapple with persistent talent shortages, AI-driven skill shifts, and demographic headwinds, the report positions workforce resilience as a measurable business advantage — not just an HR initiative.

    AI's Disruption as Cybersecurity's Economics Are Broken, Compounding Security Debt - Ben Gilliland - BSW #457

    America has lived through technological and economic upheaval before. Farm workers moved to factories. Factory workers moved into services. New industries replaced old ones. Productivity rose. Living standards improved. But are we ready for the greatest disruption in American history? Ben Gilliland, author of the upcoming book Breaking the Compact, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why business leaders need to be prepared for the upcoming AI disruption. The impact of AI, which has not fully materialized, goes far beyond security and job displacement. It will impact our economy, our privacy, and our way of life. The closest recent warning is the "China shock," the period of rapidly increasing import competition that followed China's integration into the global trading system. AI will dwarf that. Ben will discuss the human advantage and how we can prepare now. In the leadership and communications segment, Cybersecurity's Economics Are Broken.

    Take Back Control as Enterprises Struggle to Incorporate Risks They Don't Understand - Ben Lipczynski - BSW #456

    More than 48,000 vulnerabilities were disclosed in 2025, yet only about 1% are actively exploited. However, you're expected to mitigate all vulnerabilities, or at least critical and high. But what if there is no patch to fix the vulnerability or the software is unsupported? Ben Lipcynski, Director Security and Regulatory Services at Optima, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how organizations can take back control of your enterprise software. OPTAS — Origina Proactive Threat Assurance Service — predicts, validates, prioritizes, and mitigates threats specific to your environment. Unlike AI vulnerability tools that flag everything without context or mitigation guidance, OPTAS cuts through the noise. OPTAS helps security teams focus on the risks that matter instead of chasing the 99% that do not.

    Why AI Just Broke Traditional IT Security as Leaders Clash Over AI's Value and Hiring - Matt Quinn - BSW #455

    The latest generation of AI models has collapsed the time from vulnerability discovery to weaponized exploit from weeks to minutes, and reactive, module-based tools built around static dashboards simply can't keep up. In this episode, Tanium COO Matt Quinn joins Business Security Weekly to discuss Tanium Atlas, the new autonomous operating system for IT and security. Matt explains why "good enough" operations are now a liability, how Atlas turns a single operator into the equivalent of an entire team, giving organizations the speed, scale, and efficiency to match the pace of today's threat environment. He also breaks down why nearly two decades of real-time endpoint telemetry across more than 36 million endpoints is the foundation no AI model can replicate on its own.

    Performance Through People as Executives Struggle and Mentorship Matters - Greg Hoffman - BSW #454

    One of the biggest questions most executives ask is "Why does it still feel this hard when the talent is clearly there?" The answer, in almost every case, is not a people problem. It is an environment problem. And environment is something a leader can build. Greg Hoffman, President at Ascension Performance Group, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss his new book, Performance Through People, a leadership parable that shows a practical operating model for building the conditions where people perform at their highest level. It is written as a story, but it is built as a framework. Greg will discuss the core pillars of this framework, including: Leadership First Mindset Operational Clarity Capability Empowerment Impact Segment Resources: - https://a.co/d/053FuwYT - https://ascensionpg.com/articles/ In the leadership and communications segment, What the New Quantum Executive Orders Mean for Business Leaders, What I Learned About Burnout the Hard Way (and How to Actually Fix it, Mentorship Matters, and more!
