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."
