AI models now understand flat tables and graph databases without needing explicit schemas. This advancement is mind-blowing, especially for unifying vast datasets and improving market research. #AI #DataScience #BigData @RiskWrangler

Effective risk quantification means using the right method for the right risks at the right time. Don't overcomplicate simple risks. Start with high-level triage and save deep analysis for critical investments. #RiskManagement #Quantification @RiskWrangler

Source code and company operations are at risk from cyber threats. Even a ransomware attack can be mitigated with proper backups. Robust security measures deter attackers, just like cameras and fences deter common criminals. #CyberSecurity #DataProtection

Business resilience isn't just about avoiding loss of life; it's about withstanding significant hits. Can your company recover from a major cybersecurity incident or an employee's accidental mistake? #Cybersecurity #BusinessContinuity @RiskWrangler

Ransomware can infect backups, leading to data loss. Ensure your backups are tested, isolated, and can't be encrypted. Consider a forensics retainer as a form of insurance. #Cybersecurity #DataProtection @RiskWrangler

Most businesses don't quantify risk effectively. By asking executives about past losses and the frequency of events (like hurricanes or downtime), you can establish ranges for material loss. #RiskManagement #BusinessStrategy @RiskWrangler #Quantification

Struggling to get executive buy-in for cybersecurity? Frame risks not just by potential breaches, but by regulatory fines. #Cybersecurity #RiskManagement @RiskWrangler

Understanding your risk appetite isn't just about insurance limits. It's about knowing how much financial impact a cyber breach can have before it cripples your business. #Cybersecurity #RiskManagement @RiskWrangler

Understanding your risk appetite isn't just about insurance limits. It's about knowing how much financial impact a cyber breach can have before it cripples your business. Can you afford to lose revenue, pay bonuses, or retain top talent? #Cybersecurity #RiskManagement

By estimating potential losses (e.g., $3M/year), businesses can prioritize where to invest in addressing risks. It's like car insurance: premiums cover everyday risks, but catastrophic events require strategic planning. #RiskManagement #BusinessStrategy

The CISO role has evolved significantly. Once seen as an individual problem, it's now a universal concern with regulators and boards demanding accountability. #CISOTrends #Cybersecurity

New CISO James was hacked within his first 4 days on the job. He faced a payments attack from North Korea, had no team or playbook knowledge, and multiple incident response teams were called in. #Cybersecurity #IncidentResponse #CISO

The AI threat landscape is rapidly evolving. While 1.5 million bots and 17,000 humans interacted with 320 malicious prompt injections, the real worry is the lack of DLP controls for AI. We're still fighting the last war while new fronts emerge. #AISecurity #CyberThreats

Giving AI your passwords to do things for you? CISOs are still fighting the last war. The aspects around DLP for AI don't really exist yet. A massive challenge for the next few years. #AI #DLP #Cybersecurity

An email's context is explained, along with a Malwarebytes recommendation. Millions of Instagram accounts were hacked, revealing personal info. #CyberSecurity #Privacy

Jan 3rd: US forces 'neutralized' Caracas power grid during Maduro extraction, Trump hints at 'expertise'. Was it a cyberattack coordinated across space & cyber commands? #CyberWarfare #Venezuela

In 2022, Russia's Sandworm group took down a Ukrainian power substation using malware + missile strikes. Cyber Command may have set a precedent using digital sabotage + regime change. #Cybersecurity #CyberWarfare
