Business Security Weekly (Audio)

Most organizations don't fail because of technology. They fail because decision authority is unclear in the first critical minutes. "Being careful" is often interpreted as waiting for certainty, but that delay creates exposure. How should executives make decisions under pressure?
Ann Marie van den Hurk, Founder at Mind The Gap Advisory, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how executive paralysis leads to business damage. Ann Marie will discuss:
Where Paralysis Actually Comes From
What "Being Careful" Looks Like in Practice
Why the First 20 Minutes Matter
How Paralysis Becomes Business Damage
Why Existing Plans Don't Hold
What Actually Fixes It
Then, we rebroadcast two interviews from RSAC 2026.
Autonomous Intelligence and the Future of Digital Trust AI agents are no longer experimental tools — they are becoming autonomous participants in enterprise infrastructure. Acting independently, making decisions at machine speed, and interacting directly with sensitive systems, these agents fundamentally reshape the trust model that underpins modern organizations. As AI becomes embedded across operations, security must evolve from perimeter defense to continuous, identity-driven trust. This conversation explores what it means to build a resilient trust architecture for autonomous systems — one that ensures verifiable identity, constrained authority, accountability, and governance at scale. We'll examine how enterprises can balance innovation with control, prevent misuse or spoofed agents, and prepare for a future defined by machine-to-machine interactions. At stake is not just cybersecurity, but the integrity of digital trust itself.

Know Your AI Agents Through Visibility, Control, and Accountability AI agents are rapidly embedding into core enterprise workflows with broad access to sensitive systems and the ability to act autonomously, creating new challenges for security leaders tasked with enabling innovation while maintaining control. In this interview, Matt Immler will discuss why organizations must know about every agent operating in their environment and how to bring those agents under governance.

With Q-day getting closer, regulatory guidance pushing firms to migrate to quantum security in the next five years, and an extensive remediation backlog waiting to be discovered, security leaders must start their quantum security migration today. Easier said than done. In this Say Easy, Do Hard segment, we discuss the quantum-safe journey using a framework for crypto-agility.
In part 1, we define cryptographic agility, or crypto-agility for short, and why it's important. Crypto-agility is not just about transitioning to quantum-safe cryptography in the nimblest way possible, and it's not something that can be achieved merely by updating encryption algorithms and protocols. Instead, you need to adapt your organization's cryptographic architecture, automation, and governance to allow for greater control and flexibility.
In part 2, we discuss a framework for discovery, prioritization, and remediation while keeping crypto-agility in mind. A quantum-safe journey requires:
Inventory of Systems With Non-Quantum-Safe Algorithms And Protocols
System Prioritization, Leading To A Migration Roadmap
Remediation, Including Vendors And Partners
Once a distant possibility, Q-Day is quickly approaching. Are you ready for 2030?

Security metrics often fail because they measure activity rather than actual risk, often failing to connect with business impact, making them difficult to explain to boards and executives. How do you build efffective metrics that are actionable, contextual, and valuable?
Ben Wilcox, CTO & CISO at ProArch, joins Business Security Weekly to help us speak the language of the board. Ben will cover how to develop measurable, strategic, and AI-ready security metrics.

AI has created a dilemma for security teams. Attackers are using AI to develop exploits to newly disclosed vulnerabilities faster than security teams can patch them. Security teams have not fully leveraged the capabilities of AI to autonomously prevent these attacks. Without a radical change in approach, organizations will be exposed to an exponentially increasing attack surface. How long can your organization tolerate being exploitable?
Myke Lyons, CISO at Cribl, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why organizations need to embrace AI to understand the behavior of attacks to effectively prevent them. For decades, we've focused on the Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) and have played whack-a-mole to try and patch them. Instead, we should focus on the Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) and leverage LLMs to understand the behavior of the attack. Once we understand the behaviors, we can implement preventative controls to minimize exposure. And yes, AI can also help us automate patching, when we're ready to trust it.

With the introduction of Agentic AI, autonomous "everything" is all the rage. But we've been burned by automation in the past. Remember the days of Intrusion Prevention Systems and why we never put them into blocking mode? Automation may be the future of security and IT operations, but the path to autonomous "everything" must be earned. How do you build autonomous capabilities with confidence and trust?
Tim Morris, Financial Services Strategist at Tanium, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how teams can introduce autonomous capabilities in a crawl-walk-run progression that builds trust over time. Automation is not about laying off employees, it's about efficiency and speed. Tim will guide us on a journey to build automation we can trust that allow us to reduce repetitive work and minimize human error without creating fear of "machine mistakes."
