Cyber Risk Management Podcast

AI made cybersecurity a speed race, so letting AI write your security patches sounds like the fastest way to keep up. New research tested that idea on six real bugs and more than 6,000 patch attempts. Only 26% fixed the bug cleanly. Kip and Jake explain why AI patches pass the tests but miss the flaw, why bad advice makes them worse than no advice, and four moves to get fast fixes that actually hold. Your hosts are Kip Boyle, CISO with Cyber Risk Opportunities, and Jake Bernstein, Partner with K&L Gates.   "Frontier Models' Vulnerability Patches are Often F.L.A.W.E.D." by 1Password Off-by-1 Labs: https://1password.com/files/resources/frontier-models-vulnerability-patches-flawed.pdf "Fire Doesn't Innovate" by Kip Boyle: https://a.co/d/0bYatohy

Your cyber strategy is only as strong as the people who carry it out. Deidre Diamond, founder and CEO of CyberSN, has spent more than 20 years studying the cybersecurity workforce. Learn the executive questions that reveal true capability, why burnout is an execution risk, and how a workforce map turns a headcount plea into a business case.

Your firewalls, access rules, and least privilege all assume software behaves the same way every time. AI models don't. So what still works, what breaks, and what should you build next? Our guest Dan Stocker, Principal Cybersecurity Architect at JPMorgan Chase and a Cloud Security Alliance contributor, explains why every AI agent needs its own identity, what your assistant's memory costs you in privacy, and where human judgment still matters most.

Every system you've ever governed is a gear. Same input, same output. AI is the first system that guesses back, and that's why your management instincts misfire on it. Kip's new book, Gears Don't Guess, is out Sept 28th. Jake interviews him on why he wrote it, who it's for (the CFO, the general counsel, the risk manager, and the CISO), and the practical tasks, templates, and self-assessment that make it work on the job. The Kindle version is free through Oct 2.

Tired of swinging the “compliance hammer” and hitting people until they submit to you? Would you rather be influential, and not dictatorial? Let's find out how you can with your hosts Kip Boyle, CISO with Cyber Risk Opportunities, and Jake Bernstein, Partner with K&L Gates.   See our previous episode on the subject of "buy-in" with our guest Michael Gregg, the CISO of North Dakota -- https://cr-map.com/podcast/171/

When a hospital's systems go down, care does not stop. It goes back to pen and paper, and the first sign is quiet, because the alerts stop. Physician and CISSP Mark Yoffe explains clinical compensating controls: the steps clinicians take to keep patients safe during downtime. He covers who owns the clinical workflow, how to make controls workable and tested, how to recover information lost in the "memory hole," and what leaders should demand as proof. Paper is not the same as proof.

What was the first thing that broke down?Does your organization have any setting where "no news is bad news" during downtime — where information stops coming to you and you don't immediately notice? Segment 2 – Ownership Who owns your clinical downtime workflow right now — not IT, but the clinical side? Can you name them?If your systems went down tonight, is there a single person accountable for whether patient care workflows hold up — or would people be figuring it out as they go? Segment 3 – Workability Does your downtime policy actually get used, or does it live in a binder somewhere? When did anyone last open it?What's one task your team assumes staff can improvise during downtime — that they probably can't? Segment 4 – The Memory Hole After your last outage, how confident are you that everything documented on paper actually made it into the record? Did anyone check?Has a gap in documentation during downtime ever affected a patient's care — or nearly did? Segment 5 – Leadership Oversight If your CEO asked today, "Can you show me that our clinical downtime controls actually work?" — what would you hand them?When did your organization last run a tabletop exercise specifically for clinical downtime — not just IT recovery? Closing poll question: Does your organization have a named, clinically credible owner for downtime workflows — yes, no, or "I genuinely don't know"?

After a breach, you either pay the fine, or fight the regulator and lose. There's a third path. It comes down to one word: reasonable. A method called DoCRA turns that question into something a court can use. DoCRA is short for Duty of Care Risk Analysis. Our guest Chris Cronin of HALOCK Security Labs helped build it. Now it's in standards and law. And it shaped a real case where a breached company spent its money on cybersecurity, not fines.

There's a popular new playbook for running an "AI-native" company. Record everything, put all your data in one place, and let an AI agent reach all of it. The productivity story is real. New hires ramp up in days, and the whole company can ask questions it never could before. But the same moves that create the speed also switch off safeguards that some businesses are not allowed to switch off. So, which controls are we turning off to get this speed, and are we allowed to? Your hosts are Kip Boyle, CISO with Cyber Risk Opportunities, and Jake Bernstein, Partner with K&L Gates.   Y Combinator's AI native playbook video -- https://youtu.be/B246K_G7mHU AIR-MAP website -- https://air-map.io/

Your cybersecurity tools were built for people: a login, a single sign-on, an email address. But the AI agents now showing up inside your company don't work that way, and most of them slip right past your controls. So how do you find the "Shadow AI" already running in your business, and get a handle on it? Let's find out with our guest Nancy Wang, Chief Technology Officer at 1Password, who works at the front edge of how machines get access to systems.

Would you know if the AI tools your team is buying are actually trustworthy to use? Who gets to decide what trustworthy AI even means? Let's find out with our guest Jim Reavis, CEO of the Cloud Security Alliance, the group that helped the world learn to trust the cloud and is now building the standards for trusting AI. Jim explains how AI is changing what attackers, defenders, and governments can do, and walks through the tools his team built so you can adopt AI without guessing.
