Show notes

Organizations that successfully earn and keep the trust of their customers, employees, and partners experience better business outcomes, more engagement, and competitive differentiation. But what does that trust look like and who's responsible for building and maintaining that trust?

Jeff will explain why the role has emerged and details its responsibilities, organizational structures, and measures for success.

Quantum Computing Isn’t A Threat To Blockchains - Yet - Martha Bennett, Sandy Carielli - ASW #354 Oct 28, 2025

Show notes

The post quantum encryption migration is going to be a challenge, but how much of a challenge? There are several reasons why it is different from every other protocol and cypher iteration in the past. Is today's hardware up to the task? Is it just swapping out a library, or is there more to it? What is the extent of software, systems, and architecture that have to be updated or replaced to complete the migration? Can we get it all done by 2030?

Sandy Carielli and Martha Bennett join us to answer these questions and dive into one area of tech that hasn't been discussed much when it comes to post-quantum encryption: blockchain.

Relevant Forrester Reports:

In the news, high standards for open source software, trends in self-hosting, doing the cloud wrong, and is it really always DNS?

Interview with Mike Poole, Director of Cyber Security at Werner Enterprises

In today's digital landscape, cybersecurity is not just a technical issue—it’s a business imperative. Organizations that prioritize cybersecurity culture see fewer incidents and stronger resilience against evolving threats. But how do you foster a security-first mindset across an organization?

This session will explore the critical components of building and maintaining a robust cybersecurity culture, starting with executive leadership buy-in—a fundamental step in securing resources and driving organizational change. We’ll then dive into the power of monthly phishing exercises, which reinforce awareness and preparedness. Attendees will also learn how to develop effective training programs that engage employees at all levels and create lasting behavioral change. Finally, we’ll discuss the role of cybersecurity-themed events, particularly during Cybersecurity Awareness Month, as a powerful tool to capture attention and reinforce key security principles.

Security That Sticks: Shaping Human Behavior - Rinki Sethi, Nicole Jiang - BSW #418 Oct 22, 2025

Show notes

As the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report has stated year after year, most breaches start with human error. We've invested a lot in Security Awareness and Training and Phishing solutions, but yet human error is still the top risk. How do we actually reduce human risk?

Rinki Sethi, CSO at Upwind Security, and Nicole Jiang, CEO of Fable Security, share why human risk management is the next frontier for security—and how platforms like Fable Security deliver personalized nudges that help employees build safer habits and stay ahead of threats. Solving human risk starts by changing human behavior. Learn how advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the application of adtech principles (targeted, personalized, A/B-tested messages delivered when they’re most relevant) are delivering faster, more effective behavior change that lasts.
