- 1. Insurance Firm Introduces Liability Coverage for CISOs

- 2. CISO Forum Virtual Summit is Today
All sessions from the 2024 CISO Forum Virtual Summit are now available to watch on demand.
- 3. Comprehensive Guidelines for Auditing Artificial Intelligence (AI) Systems, Beyond Compliance
The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), the world’s leading organization dedicated to defining standards, certifications, and best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment, today released Artificial Intelligence (AI) Risk Management: Thinking Beyond Regulatory Boundaries. Drafted by CSA’s AI Governance & Compliance Working Group, the document offers a comprehensive framework for auditing AI systems, addressing the critical aspects of AI technology and providing auditors with much-needed insights and tools to ensure the reliability and responsible innovation of intelligent systems.
- 4. Don’t Overlook This Critical Skill When Interviewing Executives
Interviews with executive candidates cover a wide range of topics — but decision-making is too often left off the list. According to an 11-country study of over 500 senior executives at large enterprise organizations across 12 industries, a full quarter reported never discussing decision-making during an interview before accepting a position. Those who did were more satisfied with their role. Further, 63% of senior executives reported resigned from a prior job or considered doing so as a direct result of frustration with the organization’s decision-making. So, in addition to bringing up decision-making in an executive search, consider defining the company’s current decision-making state with its ideal one, and be honest about the decision-making challenges the organization faces. This will better prepare the candidate for their new role, and increase the odds of their success.
- 5. How to Navigate a Leadership Transition
Leadership transitions are challenging for both organizations and the leaders who must directly navigate them. But Michael Watkins says they’re also a time of incredible opportunity — especially for those leaders who understand how to handle this crucial period.
- 6. Has the Cybersecurity Workforce Peaked?
While training and credentialing organizations continue to talk about a "gap" in skilled cybersecurity workers, demand — especially for entry-level workers — has plateaued, spurring criticism of the latest rosy stats that seem to support a hot market for qualified cyber pros.
- 7. Effective Communication for Better Productivity
In today’s fast-paced business environment, effective communication is more than just a nice-to-have; it’s a critical component for success. For teams, especially those involved in complex projects, poor communication can lead to rework, frustration, mistrust, and ultimately, disappointed customers. This guide explores the importance of effective communication and offers practical steps, strategies, and tools to enhance team interactions, ensuring smoother operations and happier clients.
