AI Risks, Application Performance - Padraic O'Reilly, Shibu George - BSW #339

The SEC's new cyber reporting requirements are forcing organizations to rethink their compliance and risk programs. No longer can compliance and risk be static, point in time assessments. Instead they need to match the speed of security which is dynamic and real-time. Couple the difference in speeds with whistleblowers and attack groups reporting non-compliance with the new SEC rules and organizations find themselves in a regulatory nightmare. Igor Volovich, VP of Compliance Strategy for Cyber Compliance at Qmulos, joins BSW to share his "Notes from the battlefield" on how automation is the only way to effectively converge security, risk, and compliance into a dynamic, real-time discipline.
