The last five weeks have seen a flurry of news on Artificial Intelligence, especially this last week. It started on December 17, 2024 when the Bipartisan House Task Force on Artificial Intelligence (AI) released a report on “[g]uiding principles, forward-looking recommendations, and policy proposals to ensure America continues to lead the world in responsible AI innovation.” Then a new administration, which:

  1. revoked more than 50 prior executive orders, including Executive Order 14110 of October 30, 2023 (Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence).
  2. announced a private-sector $500 billion investment in AI infrastructure
  3. tasked federal agencies with drafting a new AI action plan within 180 days
  4. signed an executive order on developing artificial intelligence ‘free from ideological bias’

The Business Security Weekly crew tries to make sense of it all.

Becoming a CISO is a lofty goal for many security and risk pros, and the role brings new sets of challenges. CISOs who accept the wrong opportunities will be forced to conform, rather than excel, and take on outsized liability for the scope of responsibilities.

Jeff Pollard, Vice-President, Principal Analyst on the Security and Risk Team, and Jess Burn, Principal Analyst, both from Forrester Research join Business Security Weekly to discuss The Future Of The CISO report. This report outlines the six most common types of CISOs based on Forrester Research and interactions with security leaders, including the characteristics and competencies of each type. This report helps security leaders define who they are, their values, and optimal situations for their skill set.

Jeff Pollard, Vice-President, Principal Analyst on the Security and Risk Team, and Jess Burn, Principal Analyst, both from Forrester Research join Business Security Weekly to discuss the second part of The Future Of The CISO report. What if you don't like the future of the CISO role and want to get out? The report also provides guidance on what comes after the CISO role, as leaders contemplate the next step in their career. If you think it's a board role, you better know what skills are needed, as cybersecurity by itself is not enough. Join in for part 2.

  • what data you have,
  • where it's stored,
  • who, or what, can access it, and
  • which data risks exist.
