Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

There are two enormous cybersecurity events each year in the United States: RSA Conference and the week in Vegas that is so full of conferences, summits, and ancillary events that it’s simply known as “Hacker Summer Camp.” From Security BSides Las Vegas to Black Hat and DEF CON, it takes the fortitude of a camel to survive the desert heat and the late nights.

Over the last year, I’ve spent countless hours with CISOs, CTOs, and security architects talking about a new wave of technology that’s changing the game faster than anything we’ve seen before: Agentic AI and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. If you think AI is still in the “cool demos and pilot projects” stage, think again. We’re already seeing autonomous agents reasoning, remembering, and taking actions in live production environments.

The quantum threat isn’t theoretical—it’s operational. Quantum computing is rapidly shifting from research to reality, forcing chief information security officers (CISOs) to rethink cryptography, risk management and long-term data protection. In a previous post, I explained the quantum challenge. Recently, we explored why quantum readiness is not optional. Now, it’s time for action.

In this article Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) face the daunting task of balancing technical cybersecurity risks with the financial realities of their organization. One critical component in this balancing act is the use of vulnerability scoring systems, in particular, the CVSS score. This article provides a detailed guide on how to translate CVSS scores into tangible financial impact estimates using proven methods of risk quantification.

As CISOs, you’ve invested heavily in desktop security, built out Zero Trust architectures, and hardened your perimeter. But there’s a critical gap many are still leaving exposed: mobile devices and the human behind the screen. In a world where your workforce runs on smartphones, overlooking mobile security is no longer an option.
