Empowering CISOs with AI: Discover powerful hopes and real risks

Feb 19, 2026 By Sravish Sridhar In TrustCloud
Artificial intelligence has become the ultimate paradox for today’s security leaders: it is simultaneously their sharpest new instrument and their biggest emerging attack surface. As boards push hard to “put AI everywhere,” CISOs must balance innovation with accountability, often in environments where AI pilots are already live before security is invited to the table.

How to Improve Cyber Security and Phishing Protection with a Fractional Executive

Feb 10, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
Many organisations today turn to fractional executives - such as a fractional CEO or fractional CFO - to gain fast access to reliable external expertise that improves operations without committing to a full-time hire. Similar solutions exist for specialised cyber security leadership: a fractional CISO can provide strategic oversight, governance, and risk-based decision-making on a flexible basis. For organisations facing ever-more sophisticated threats and limited internal resources, engaging an expert on a fractional basiscan mean the difference between reactive firefighting and proactive cyber resilience.

This is where identity and access management metrics play a key role.

A virtual CISO is your on-demand cybersecurity resource. We provide the same strategic leadership as an in-house CISO, without the full-time commitment. vCISOs are used by organisations that need experienced security leadership to meet their compliance requirements, manage cyber risk, and guide security decisions, but don’t yet have a permanent CISO, or may have an interim requirement for a vCISO.
