AIBOM in Action: Lessons from the First AI Supply Chain Audits

When a CISO has a direct line to the CEO, it reshapes how cybersecurity risk gets discussed, prioritized, and acted on across the organization. In this episode, Frank Fischer, Group CISO at DHL, shares what he's learned leading security at one of the world's largest logistics companies. Fischer breaks down what makes the CISO-CEO relationship work, how to translate complex cyber risk into business language the board and executive team understand, and whether direct CISO-to-CEO reporting is the right model for every organization. He also outlines the communication and leadership skills CISOs need to develop to be effective at the executive level.

As AI systems move into production, managing supply chain risk goes beyond traditional SBOMs. This podcast episode shares lessons from the first cycle of AI Bill of Materials (AIBOM) audits—where theory met reality in contracts, disclosures, and accountability. With the rapid adoption of AI agents and foundation models in enterprise environments, organizations face new challenges in visibility, provenance, and third-party AI risk. Attendees will take away practical strategies for enforceable controls, adaptable schemas, and continuous assurance in an evolving AI supply chain landscape.

Quantum computing is no longer a distant threat. It is now a present-day concern for security leaders who must protect data that could be harvested today and decrypted tomorrow.
