• AI in the Boardroom: Translating Risks for Non-Technical Leaders

  AI has officially become a board-level conversation, but the language of AI risk still isn’t one most executives speak.Security leaders are now expected not only to understand the technology, but to translate its implications in a way that drives clarity, not confusion.In Episode 10, we explore the gap between AI complexity and board-level decision-making — and why failing to bridge it is becoming a strategic risk on its own.We unpack:- How AI risk fundamentally differs from traditional cybersecurity risk- Why boards often underestimate systemic AI risks — and overestimate technical ones- The questions boards should be asking, but often don’t- How CISOs and security leaders can communicate AI risk in commercial, strategic terms- What effective AI oversight looks like in practice- How to position AI governance as a business enabler, not a barrierAI is transforming products, operations, and competitive landscapes but without informed leadership, it can quietly introduce risks the organisation never intended to take.If you’re responsible for briefing a board, advising executives, or shaping AI strategy, this episode is essential context for the conversations happening in top-level rooms worldwide.#AI #AIGovernance #AILeadership #CyberSecurity #Boardroom #CISO #ExecutiveRisk #TechStrategy #SecurelySpeaking #ArtificialIntelligence #RiskManagement

• Incident Response in an AI-Driven World

  AI is accelerating how threats emerge, evolve, and spread. Our traditional incident response models were never designed for systems that learn, automate, and operate at machine speed.In this episode, we explore what it really means to respond to incidents in an AI-driven environment, where the blast radius expands faster, the root cause is harder to interpret, and accountability spans across humans, models, and the data that shapes them.We cover:• How AI changes the threat landscape — and the response timeline• Why “containment” looks different when models continue to learn during an incident• The new expectations for CISOs, engineering teams, and executives• AI-augmented detection, triage, and forensics• Why governance and preparedness matter more than ever• What future-ready IR programs must look likeIn a world where systems can act without direct human instruction, IR isn’t just about stopping an attack, it’s about understanding the behaviour of the model behind it.If your organisation is adopting or scaling AI, this conversation is essential.#AIIncidentResponse #CyberSecurity #AIGovernance #DigitalResilience #IRProgram #CISO #AIThreats #SecurityOperations #TechLeadership #OperationalResilience

• Operational Resilience with AI: Friend or Foe?

  AI is transforming how organisations operate, but it’s also reshaping how they fail.In this episode, we examine a question every leadership team should be asking:Is AI strengthening your operational resilience, or quietly eroding it? AI can automate decisions, speed up response processes, and reduce manual load. But it can also introduce new single points of failure, amplify small errors at scale, and create blind spots that traditional resilience frameworks were never designed to detect.In this episode, we break down:• Where AI truly enhances resilience• How AI-driven automation can create hidden fragility• The emerging risks leaders must prepare for• Practical ways to integrate AI into continuity, monitoring, and incident playbooks• Why operational resilience now requires both technical and organizational adaptabilityIf you’re a founder or business leader building AI-enabled systems, this conversation is essential to understanding the new balance of resilience vs. risk.#OperationalResilience #AIResilience #AI #CyberSecurity #AIGovernance #RiskManagement #BusinessContinuity #ModelRisk #EnterpriseAI #DigitalResilience #TechLeadership #CISO

• AI and Bias : When Compliance Meets Ethics

  AI bias isn’t a theoretical concern, it’s already shaping decisions in hiring, lending, healthcare, and everyday digital interactions. And while most conversations frame bias as an ethical dilemma, the real-world impact extends much further: regulatory exposure, legal liability, and long-term reputational damage.In this episode, we break down why bias in AI systems is both a compliance challenge and a trust challenge.From skewed datasets to opaque model logic, we explore how unintended discrimination gets introduced, amplified, and weaponized, and what leaders must do to stay ahead of new regulatory expectations.You’ll learn:- How bias actually enters AI systems (and why it’s harder to detect than you think)- Why “fairness” can’t be a single metric- The growing regulatory landscape around algorithmic accountability- Practical steps security, risk, and compliance leaders can take to mitigate AI bias- Why ethical governance is becoming a core part of enterprise trust programsBias isn’t just about doing the right thing it’s about avoiding the risks you can’t see and the consequences you can’t undo.

• The AI Supply Chain: Risks Beyond Your Organization

  Your AI system is only as secure as the ecosystem it depends on.From third-party APIs to pretrained models, most organizations are now relying on external AI components they don’t fully control and that’s where hidden risks live.In this episode of  Securing AI, we explore how AI supply chain risk is reshaping how CISOs and business leaders think about assurance, dependency management, and vendor trust.How do you validate the integrity of a model you didn’t build?What happens when your “trusted” AI partner quietly integrates another model trained on sensitive data?And what does supply chain transparency look like in a world where even algorithms have dependencies?Join me as we unpack the expanding risk perimeter of AI ecosystems and why trust in the age of machine intelligence must extend far beyond your own organization.#AI #CyberSecurity #RiskManagement #SupplyChainSecurity #SecurelySpeaking #LeadershipWe would love to hear from you.
