Business Security Weekly (Audio)

Artificial intelligence has quickly evolved from a productivity tool into an active participant in many organizations' daily operations. As organizations give AI greater autonomy within their environment, they're also granting them access to sensitive systems and data. That creates a new challenge for IT and security teams: How do you enable AI to assist productivity without compromising security?
Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how zero trust principles can prevent an AI breakout. Rather than relying solely on the AI tool's built-in safeguards, organizations can choose to enforce security policies using ThreatLocker. Rob will discuss how ThreatLocker can enforce AI boundaries through Allowlisting, Ringfencing™, Endpoint Firewall, and Web Content Control, with Community Policies that govern what agentic AI tools can run, do, access, and reach.

As cyber threats become more AI-powered, attacks continue to rise. Threats can arise from all areas of a company's IT infrastructure, however most attacks utilize a domain name to infiltrate systems. How secure is your domain ecosystem?
Ihab Shraim, Chief Technology Offider at CSC Digital Brand Services, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why domain security is a fundamental blind spot in corporate cybersecurity programs. Ihab will discuss his team's research finding that 67% of Forbes Global 2000 companies have implemented fewer than half of recommended domain security measures. He will also outline the key domain security practices that teams should implement to protect their organization from the risk of domain attacks.

America has lived through technological and economic upheaval before. Farm workers moved to factories. Factory workers moved into services. New industries replaced old ones. Productivity rose. Living standards improved. But are we ready for the greatest disruption in American history?
Ben Gilliland, author of the upcoming book Breaking the Compact, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why business leaders need to be prepared for the upcoming AI disruption. The impact of AI, which has not fully materialized, goes far beyond security and job displacement. It will impact our economy, our privacy, and our way of life. The closest recent warning is the "China shock," the period of rapidly increasing import competition that followed China's integration into the global trading system. AI will dwarf that. Ben will discuss the human advantage and how we can prepare now.
