    Unexamined Leadership Behaviors as CEOs and CISOs Balance Cybersecurity Investments - Hacia Atherton - BSW #433

    Cloud Control As Leaders At Odds Over Cyber Priorities, But Require Strong Leadership - Rob Allen - BSW #432

    The top social engineering attacks involve manipulating human psychology to gain access to sensitive information or systems. The most prevalent methods include various forms of phishing, pretexting, and baiting, which are often used as initial entry points for more complex attacks like business email compromise (BEC) and ransomware deployment. How do you control what users click on? Even with integrated email solutions, like Microsoft 365, you can't control what they click on. They see a convincing email, are in a rush, or are simply distracted. Next thing you know, they enter their credentials, approve the MFA prompt—and just like that, the cybercriminals get in with full access to users' accounts. Is there anyway to stop this? Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how ThreatLocker Cloud Control leverages built-in intelligence to assess whether a connection from a protected device originates from a trusted network. By only allowing users from IP addresses and networks deemed trusted by ThreatLocker to get in—phishing and token theft attacks are rendered useless. So, no matter how successful cybercriminals are with their phishing attacks and token thefts—all their efforts are useless now. This segment is sponsored by ThreatLocker.

    Internal Audit Focal Points for 2026 as AI Impacts Conventional Cybersecurity - Tim Lietz - BSW #431

    Key emerging risks include cybersecurity (41%) and Generative AI (Gen AI) (35%), both of which present challenges in skill development and retention. The growing reliance on external providers reflects these gaps. In two years, strategic risk has fallen 10% as technological advancements have shifted auditors' attention away from strategy. So what are the top concerns? Tim Lietz, National Practice Leader Internal Audit Risk & Compliance at Jefferson Wells, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss the shifting priorities for internal audit leaders, with technology, business transformation and digitization remaining central amid rising economic uncertainty. This reflects the broader economic challenges and uncertainties that organizations are facing in the current environment. Tim will discuss the need for enhanced skills inAI, cybersecurity and digital transformation and why Internal Audit is increasingly seen as a strategic partner in navigating transformation within their organizations.

    The Future Of Proactive Security Before Building an AI Enabled Enterprise - Erik Nost - BSW #430

    The three proactive security principles of visibility, prioritization, and remediation have always been the foundation of vulnerability management teams. But these teams face continuous challenges. How do you address these challenges? Erik Nost, Senior Analyst at Forrester, joins Business Security Weekly to break down the six questions that need to be answered for each proactive security principle: who, what, when, where, why, and how. The introduction of generative AI (genAI) into proactive security promises to provide a broader and speedier ability to answer these questions, providing further opportunities for the proactive security market to grow. In the leadership and communications segment, What the CEO and C-Suite Must Ask Before Building an AI Enabled Enterprise, Don't Underestimate the Value of Professional Friendships, What Kevin Bacon Can Teach You About Cybersecurity Career, and more!

    Cyber threats and cyber criminals indiscriminately target the old as well as young regardless of race, creed or origin.
