Privacy and Posture Pressures for CISOs: A Recap of the NTSC Southeast Regional CISO Policy Roundtable
September 13, 2018

In the wake of GDPR and the California Consumer Privacy Act, many CISOs have grown especially concerned about a wave of privacy regulations that may impact their businesses. Also, “hacking back” seems to currently enjoy greater support among businesses and legislators who may not understand its negative implications or consider a wider strategy of active cyber defense. These issues were discussed at the most recent Southeast Regional CISO Policy Roundtable (hosted by NTSC Board Member Bob Varnadoe, Chief Information Security Officer of NCR) that featured two presentations.

CISOs Should Take a Nod from Article 38
July 16, 2018

While the US debates new privacy regulations modeled after the EU’s General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR), other aspects of GDPR may solve several of the CISO’s key challenges. The GDPR not only requires companies to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) responsible for a company’s privacy program (similar to the way a CISO is responsible for a company’s security program) but it also mandates special protections for the DPO. If you can’t have data privacy without security, it follows that CISOs should have similar protections as Data Protection Officers. This article describes some of the DPO protections detailed in the GDPR that may apply to CISOs.

The Human Error of Ignoring Machine Learning Cybersecurity
June 22, 2017

Recent surveys by universities, tech giants, and consulting firms alike point to an emerging paradox: a rabid hunger for machine learning (ML) technology that gives organizations the next competitive edge, coupled against an unclear plan about what to do with it – especially when it goes wrong. Because much of today’s ML technology is explorational but progressing quickly, it’s fair to infer that how to approach, manage, and triage it inside an organization represents unknown territory for business leadership. Nonetheless, this is the ideal time for important conversations around the cybersecurity of ML to take place.
