From CISO to SOC Managers: Why Leadership Continuity Matters in Cybersecurity

In today's digital-first world, cybersecurity is no longer just a technical concern - it's a business-critical priority. As threats evolve and become more sophisticated, organizations rely on skilled leaders to manage governance, strategy, and daily operations. While many companies invest heavily in tools and technology, fewer focus on ensuring continuity among their security leadership teams. From Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) to Security Operations Center (SOC) managers, leadership continuity is an often-overlooked element that can make the difference between resilience and vulnerability.

What Every CISO Should Know About How DLP Actually Works

For most CISOs, data loss prevention (DLP) has long been a familiar acronym. It’s a category of security technology that has been around for more than a decade, often associated with compliance and the need to keep regulated data under control. Yet while the concept sounds straightforward—preventing sensitive data from leaving the organization—the reality is that modern DLP platforms are far more sophisticated than their early predecessors.

Confessions of a CISO: I Have Trust Issues

The speed of software development today is driven by fierce competition and the constant demand for innovation. Organizations are launching software faster than ever to keep up with the market and drive growth. This need for speed has led to several key trends: These trends introduce a critical dilemma: How do you balance speed vs. trust? While fast releases are essential to meet market and user demands, sacrificing trust for speed can lead to severe business repercussions.

Do any CISOs feel lucky?

There are two enormous cybersecurity events each year in the United States: RSA Conference and the week in Vegas that is so full of conferences, summits, and ancillary events that it’s simply known as “Hacker Summer Camp.” From Security BSides Las Vegas to Black Hat and DEF CON, it takes the fortitude of a camel to survive the desert heat and the late nights.

Why AI Agents and MCP Servers Just Became a CISO's Most Urgent Priority

Over the last year, I’ve spent countless hours with CISOs, CTOs, and security architects talking about a new wave of technology that’s changing the game faster than anything we’ve seen before: Agentic AI and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. If you think AI is still in the “cool demos and pilot projects” stage, think again. We’re already seeing autonomous agents reasoning, remembering, and taking actions in live production environments.

Modern Access Control in the Public Sector: A CISO's Perspective

Hear from Keeper Security’s Chief Information Security Officer, Shane Barney, for an exclusive, interview-style webinar addressing the most pressing questions around secrets management and Privileged Access Management (PAM) in today’s public sector IT landscape.

The Expiring Trust Model: CISOs Must Rethink PKI in the Era of Short-Lived Certificates and Machine Identity

A silent and significant shift is occurring in the security foundation of the modern enterprise. It's not a new malware strain or a novel zero-day exploit, it is the digital certificate that so many organizations have relied on for decades as a critical element of trust and security in digital communications.

A CISO's guide to post-quantum readiness: How to build crypto agility now

The quantum threat isn’t theoretical—it’s operational. Quantum computing is rapidly shifting from research to reality, forcing chief information security officers (CISOs) to rethink cryptography, risk management and long-term data protection. In a previous post, I explained the quantum challenge. Recently, we explored why quantum readiness is not optional. Now, it’s time for action.

EP 13 - Pizza parties and profit margins: The business of cybercrime

Cybercriminals today operate more like startups than stereotypes—complete with org charts, sprint cycles, and pizza parties to celebrate successful breaches. In this episode of Security Matters, host David Puner talks with former CISO and U.S. Air Force veteran Ian Schneller about the evolving sophistication of threat actors and what it takes to stay ahead.
