Proud of my friend and former colleague from my White House days, Jake Braun, who has a powerful new book out: Fentanyl: Fighting the Mass Poisoning of America and the Cartel Behind It.

It was great joining #ShareTheMicInCyber co-founder Lauren Zabierek on the CyberWire Daily to talk about how the cybersecurity landscape & the people shaping it are evolving. Inclusion isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s how we build stronger, smarter defenses. thecyberwire.com/podcasts/dai...

Cyber solidarity on the chopping block.

CISA Layoffs threaten U.S. cyber coordination with states, businesses, and foreign partners. Google issues its second emergency Chrome update in a week, and puts Privacy Sandbox out of its misery. OpenAI’s new browser proves vulnerable to indirect prompt injection. SpaceX disables Starlink devices used by scam compounds. Reddit sues alleged data scrapers. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Montana suffers a data breach. A new Android infostealer abuses termux to exfiltrate data. Iran’s MuddyWater deploys a wide-ranging middle east espionage campaign. We’re joined by Lauren Zabierek and Camille Stewart Gloster discussing the next evolution of #ShareTheMicInCyber. When customer service fails, try human resources.

AI isn’t just another tool—it’s a forcing function for reinvention. Too often, organizations rush to deploy AI and stumble—not because the tech fails, but because their systems, culture, and governance weren’t built to sustain it. ⬇️

On Oct. 8, @cybercoalition.bsky.social & @cyberalliance.bsky.social will bring together leading voices to explore how industry and government can confront threats, strengthen resilience, and shape the future of cybersecurity at #CyberNextDC

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month! A reminder that security isn’t just IT’s job, it’s a leadership imperative. This year, we’re embracing the theme Skeptical By Design. All month we’ll share tips + partner insights on how to protect trust, build resilience, and stay secure in a digital world!

AI is supposed to boost productivity, but too many orgs are drowning in endless low-quality drafts, repetitive outputs, and wasted review cycles. When paired with weak governance and poor planning, AI stops being innovation and starts being a liability. ⬇️

AI Deployment Playbook: Avoiding the Mistakes That Sink ROI and Customer Trust

Executives who want AI to deliver results must address data, governance, security, and workforce planning before scaling.

Last weekend’s ransomware attack on major European airports is a wake-up call: resilience planning isn’t optional. Check-in systems went dark. Some flights were delayed and cancelled. But most planes kept flying because airports had manual backups ready. ➡️ camilleesq.substack.com/p/cyber-resi...
