We spend enormous amounts of time discussing how we should govern what increasingly capable AI systems are allowed to do. We spend considerably less time asking whether there may eventually be limits on what we should be allowed to do to them. Before anyone reaches for the “AI isn't conscious” argument: I don't know that it is. Neither does the AI I was discussing this...]]></description><link>https://www.cybersecuritymanifesto.com/post/deep-questions-about-ai-governance-and-ethics</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6ab817699f7511779a129d93</guid><pubDate>Sat, 26 Sep 2026 19:05:46 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Stephanne Payne</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Understanding Risk]]></title><description><![CDATA[A robust cybersecurity program is founded not on fear, but on a clear understanding of risk and its potential impact on the organization. That's why assessments are so critical. They help find gaps (and aren't biased or afraid to provide the truth). Emphasizing awareness and preparedness enables organizations to navigate the complexities of cybersecurity effectively. When we know where to focus, how to prioritize... we make progress. We need to build a culture of understanding, then the...]]></description><link>https://www.cybersecuritymanifesto.com/post/understanding-risk</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a64b88535380d3132b14b75</guid><pubDate>Sat, 25 Jul 2026 13:23:03 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/cea84d_db65358d4e6c4169ba3ac671da3a6dc8~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_800,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Stephanne Payne</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stop Giving the Intern (AI) the Keys]]></title><description><![CDATA[Everyone's excited (or scared) about Agentic AI... and they should be. The promise is powerful: AI doesn't just answer questions; it takes actions, orchestrates workflows, and gets work done. From a CISO perspective, we're making a dangerous mistake. We're focusing on what the agent CAN do instead of what it SHOULD do. Try this: AGENTIC AI IS LIKE A BRILLIANT INTERN. It can read faster than anyone, learn instantly, work 24/7, and do tasks at incredible speed. But it has ZERO common sense, no...]]></description><link>https://www.cybersecuritymanifesto.com/post/stop-giving-the-intern-ai-the-keys</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a63593159dc3f2805c5b361</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Jul 2026 12:23:26 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/cea84d_4c9df27af775472a8db29cbf1e818b7f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_853,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Stephanne Payne</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The AI Arms Race]]></title><description><![CDATA[I was talking to a bud the other day and that convo made me realize that there are days when AI feels less like a technological revolution and more like an arms race. As security leaders, we're watching both sides accelerate at the same time. Attackers are discovering vulnerabilities faster. They're crafting phishing campaigns that are cleaner, more believable, and increasingly tailored to the individual. Social engineering isn't getting more sophisticated because humans suddenly became more...]]></description><link>https://www.cybersecuritymanifesto.com/post/the-ai-arms-race</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a6358b259dc3f2805c5b21c</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 Jul 2026 12:21:12 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Stephanne Payne</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
