1. How to Effectively Embrace and Protect Generative AI Tools, Models, and Data – Randy Lariar – BSW #314
Some organizations are banning ChatGPT and other generative AI models out of fear of the risks they could introduce.

- 1. The SEC Let The Boardroom Off The Hook On Cybersecurity, Turns Up Heat On CISOs And CEOs
The SEC just released long awaited final rules on their cybersecurity risk management, strategy and governance proposals. While transformational in some respects, the SEC basically let the boardroom largely slip off the hook for cybersecurity governance accountability...for now.
- 2. Why Today’s CISOs Must Embrace Change
With change happening faster than ever before, tools can help bridge capability gaps, along with accelerated workforce training, but CISOs first must learn to embrace change.
- 3. Top strategies: How CISOs can become board-ready – CyberTalk
Corporate boards are actively searching for CISOs who demonstrate technical expertise, but who also possess strong leadership skills, can communicate complex concepts to stakeholders, and who can align risk management, cyber security and overarching business strategies.

- 5. How to Be a Purpose-Driven Leader Without Burning Out
The idea of servant leadership — putting your team’s needs ahead of your own — brought us to a more compassionate, human-centered work environment. But in today’s environment, it’s a recipe for burnout. Instead, the authors suggest a more impact-driven philosophy called “noble-purpose leadership,” that ties leaders and teammates to the pursuit of a shared goal that positively impacts constituents. In servant leadership, the message is: You’re in your role to serve others, making it tempting to focus on pleasing others and difficult to say no. In noble-purpose leadership, the message is: You’re in your role to make an impact. This requires more strategic thinking in terms of where to place your efforts. The authors offer three areas where managers can shift their lens to noble-purpose leadership.
