   Hacking AI FOMO

   Thanks for listening to Super Cyber Friday Express, the short 20-minute version of the one-hour live show we host every available Friday at 1 p.m. Eastern/10 a.m. Pacific. Watch the full one-hour show on Crowdcast. In this episode, David Spark is joined by our sponsored guest Brent Midwood, senior director, PM and portfolio lead for security operations at Tanium, and Brett Conlon, CISO at American Century Investments, to discuss what it actually costs when the business says yes to AI before security has answers — and how a CISO makes that call when saying no makes them the obstacle and saying yes means they own the breach. A huge thanks to our sponsor, Tanium. Missing from this abridged episode is everything you can enjoy when you participate in the live show, such as engaging with our live audience in the chat room, playing some really fun games, winning some prizes, and a post-show face-to-face meetup with fellow cyber colleagues.
