CISO's Journal

This month’s CISO Journal steps away from frameworks and tech stacks and looks squarely at the pressure we’re all under. Inside: Why 95% of GenAI projects are failing (and what we can do about it) How AI-powered attacks are ramping up in speed, complexity, and chaos A candid reminder to check in with your team, and yourself If you are leading security in the middle of all this, you're not alone:

Deepfakes. AI hallucinations. Scan traffic on steroids... It’s just another Monday.

“The times, they are a-changin’.” — Dylan said it. The clock’s melting. And for CISOs, the tempo just accelerated.

CISOs face a new reality: AI-driven attacks are here, boards are demanding clarity, and “no” isn’t enough. To earn influence, security leaders must show up as innovators, not obstacles—leading with insight, outcomes, and education.

AI is moving faster than most security teams can respond. From deepfakes to data leakage and model hijacking, today’s risks aren't hypothetical—they’re happening. Here’s what CISOs need to know now to stay ahead of AI-driven threats.

Doing the 'same things' rarely gets the same results — because in cybersecurity, what worked yesterday can quietly fail today.

Summer daydreaming is here — but so are stress, AI complexity, and tough questions about how we support our teams (and ourselves).

Real insight starts with real talk.

Security is always shifting, and so are we.
