AI's impact on business

In this episode, Kim Jones sits down with Eric Nagel, a former CISO with a rare blend of engineering, legal, and patent expertise, to unpack what responsible AI really looks like inside a modern enterprise. Eric breaks down the difference between traditional machine learning and generative AI, why nondeterministic outputs can be both powerful and risky, and how issues like bias, hallucinations, and data leakage demand new safeguards—including AI firewalls. He also discusses what smaller organizations can do to manage AI risk, how tools like code-generation models change expectations for developers, and the evolving regulatory landscape shaping how companies must deploy AI responsibly.

Privacy needs where you least expect it

When discussing privacy risks, many often look to implementing strong encryption, secure data storage practices, and data sanitization processes to help ensure sensitive information remains protected. Though these practices are good and should be prioritized, many often miss other key areas that need just as much focus. As the internet of things has only continued to grow larger and larger, so has the risk these devices inherently create as they collect and store more information than many would instinctively assume. In this episode of CISO Perspectives, host ⁠Kim Jones⁠ sits down with Merry Marwig, the Vice President of Global Communications & Advocacy at Privacy4Cars, to explore how privacy risks are in places many do not think to look. Together, Merry and Kim discuss why security leaders need to rethink how they approach privacy and consider how the devices we use every day could inadvertently expose our sensitive information.
