M&A Professionals - What Happens After Confidential Files Leave Company

How do companies actually control confidential files shared with external advisers? I’m doing some research into how companies handle confidential information when working with external parties such as consultants, accountants, lawyers, investment bankers, agencies, or other advisers. I’m particularly interested in what happensafter a confidential file leaves the company. For example, imagine a company sends financial data, customer information, strategy documents, or transaction materials to an external adviser. I’d love to understand: How does your company normally share these files today? Email, SharePoint, data rooms, Google Drive, something else? Once the file is shared, can you actually tell who downloaded, printed, forwarded, or accessed it? If several people at an external firm have access, do you know exactly who is responsible for handling that information? Have you ever seen situations where confidential information was copied, forwarded internally, printed, screenshotted, or otherwise used outside the original purpose? Do existing tools such as VDRs, SharePoint, DLP, NDAs, or access controls solve this problem well enough, or are there still gaps? I’m still trying to understand whether this is actually a meaningful problem. Would especially love to hear from people working in: Consulting / Big 4 / accounting Investment banking / PE / VC Legal Corporate strategy / M&A Risk / compliance Cybersecurity / IT Data privacy / governance Even a short comment about how your organisation handles this would be extremely helpful. If anyone is willing to have a 10–15 minute anonymous chat about their experience, feel free to DM me as well. No company names or sensitive information needed.

Engineering Teams Using AI Agents - PR Review Capacity Strain

AI made writing code cheap. It did not make engineering judgment cheap. As coding agents get better, I keep seeing the same bottleneck move downstream: More code → more pull requests → the same number of humans capable of reviewing them. I’ve experienced this firsthand while working on a cybersecurity product used in environments where reliability and security genuinely matter, including critical infrastructure. There was understandable pressure to turn the productivity gains from AI-assisted development into dramatically faster delivery. But that eventually leads to a much harder question: Who takes responsibility for code that no human has ever reviewed? Having one agent write the code and another approve it may make the throughput numbers look fantastic. It does not magically transfer accountability. I’ve since had similar conversations with people at other companies facing the same problem. The challenge is increasingly not “how do we get agents to write more code?” It is: How do we safely process all the code they already produce? In my latest article I explore what I think the next generation of the review pipeline needs: • deterministic automated verification • independent agent review • risk-based classification • human attention focused where judgment actually matters • smaller, reviewable changes • merge queues • WIP limits when the review queue is already full I also go into what I’m experimenting with in vincent and, more importantly, the parts I still haven’t solved. Coding faster is not the same thing as delivering faster. Code is getting cheap. Judgment isn’t. And trust may become the most expensive resource in the entire software lifecycle. 👉 https://lnkd.in/djJK9dnQ I’d especially like to hear from teams already dealing with this: are agent-generated PRs starting to overwhelm your review capacity? #SoftwareEngineering #AI #AgenticAI #CodingAgents #DevTools #EngineeringLeadership #SoftwareArchitecture

Cybersecurity Companies & Experts - AI Scams & Consumer Safety

Calling all cybersecurity experts and organizations. 👋HI! Over the past few weeks, I’ve received quite a few requests from reporters looking for cybersecurity experts who can speak to the threats consumers and businesses are facing right now. And the timing couldn’t be better to build a proactive media strategy around this conversation. October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, which gives us an entire month of timely opportunities to educate audiences about online safety, scams, data privacy and the rapidly changing cyber landscape. With the growth of AI, these conversations are becoming even more important. From AI-powered scams and increasingly sophisticated phishing attempts to identity theft, data breaches and the everyday steps people and businesses can take to protect themselves - reporters need credible experts who can break these issues down in a way audiences can actually understand. So, I’m looking to connect with cybersecurity companies, organizations and experts who want to position themselves as go-to media resources in this space and I want to think bigger than one interview or one media tour. Think national and local broadcast. Digital and streaming. Radio. Podcasts. Bilingual media. October gives us the timely hook, but the goal is to build relationships and visibility that continue long after Cybersecurity Awareness Month ends. The timeline is now. September is the time to develop the messaging, identify the strongest consumer and business angles, prepare spokespeople and begin outreach so we’re positioned for opportunities throughout October and beyond. If your organization has an expert who can speak to cybersecurity, AI and emerging threats, or you know someone who should be part of this conversation, I’d love to connect. Contigo PR & Media Consulting: With you. Aligned with your vision. Evolving together.

Machine Identity Vendors - AI Agent Delegation Solutions

Two days at Cybersec Netherlands in Utrecht, and one question followed me across the entire floor. Who owns the identity that is not a person? Some context: Cybersec Netherlands is the largest B2B security event in the Benelux, two days at Jaarbeurs Utrecht, roughly 10,000 visitors. The floor covered almost every domain in the field: OT and ICS security, threat intelligence, data protection, supply chain and resilience, compliance automation, digital sovereignty, and IAM. The theme that kept coming back was AI sitting on both sides of the table. Defenders using it for detection and triage, attackers using it to move faster than a SOC can respond. Mandy Andress of Elastic made the point in her keynote that compliance-driven security models are hitting their limit. That is exactly where non-human identity comes in. Service accounts, API keys, workload identities and now AI agents already outnumber human users in most enterprises. The market is clearly moving on it. Three examples from the floor: Elimity is mapping who can access what across both human and non-human identities, AI agents included, and turning that into access reviews an auditor will accept. Evertrust is doing certificate lifecycle management and sovereign PKI, which is machine identity at its most literal, while preparing customers for shorter TLS lifespans and post-quantum crypto. Kiteworks came at it from the data side. Their own research says most organisations already run AI agents in production, and a majority cannot enforce limits on what those agents do with regulated data, or stop one that misbehaves. Real progress. But look at what all three are solving: visibility, lifecycle, containment. The harder question sits one step further out. An AI agent receives delegated authority from a human and then acts on it. Who approved that scope? Who revokes it when the human leaves? Which control, in which framework, actually covers it? My MSc thesis is a gap analysis of that question across ISO/IEC 27001:2022, NIST CSF 2.0, SOC 2, the DORA RTS and NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5. Three findings I keep coming back to: Not one of the five mandates a rotation cadence for machine secrets. All five are silent on agentic delegated authority. IA-9 in SP 800-53 is the only NHI-native control in any of them, and it is classified P0 and assigned to no baseline. So the tooling runs ahead while the frameworks still work from a registration-era model, where an identity is created once by a human and reviewed quarterly. Machine-speed sprawl walks straight past that. That gap is what I work on. Thesis goes in this month, and I am speaking on NHI governance at Identity Fabric Impact Day 2026. KuppingerCole Analysts If you were at Cybersec and saw a vendor with a real answer for agent delegation, I want to hear about it.

Security Architects & CTOs - Orbital AI Compute Claims

𝗔 𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲-𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝘂𝗯 𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱. 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗧𝗢𝘀, an orbital satellite's headline power figure has moved twice in six weeks, and its most quoted performance claim belongs to a different product entirely. On 31 August, Shanghai's Songjiang district opened a space-computing hub. It did not need to attract tenants. A state-backed satellite constellation operator was already resident there, alongside two satellite manufacturers and a precision-machinery research institute. The announcement formalised a cluster that already existed. Four days later, an orbital AI compute satellite built by a launch provider and a chip maker was still working out what it actually is. Since the partnership's announcement on 24 August, its stated power draw has moved from 120 and 150 kilowatts, to 160 and 250, to 175 and 250, none of the earlier figures retracted. A widely repeated claim that it delivers twenty-five times the AI compute of a previous chip generation actually belongs to a different product the same chip maker announced in March, for six customers that do not include this launch partner. Neither side's technology is shown to be superior here. What differs is what can be checked. Songjiang's tenants are verifiable entities that existed before this week's designation; the American partnership's own supporting detail has moved while I was watching it. Three questions do most of the work when a claim like this reaches your desk: where did the number first appear, has it changed since, and has it been attached to more than one product. Both this week's figures failed one of them. An openly inspectable ground segment is available to any operator willing to build on it instead of around it. GNU Radio handles ground-station signal processing across the industry, and F Prime, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's own open flight software framework, has flown on small-satellite missions since 2017. Vertical integration is a choice about who controls the stack, not a technical requirement of building one. A New Zealand launch provider put a Japanese Earth-observation satellite into orbit this same week: real launch-site participation, but not tasking authority over what gets observed, and not the AI-enabled analysis that turns a radar return into something a board can act on. Owning the antenna and owning the analysis are separate capabilities. Where has your organisation taken an orbital-compute claim at face value, only to find the number had moved, or belonged to a different product, once you went looking for the source?

Technology Leaders Educators Students - Percent of Role AI Could Do

🚨 AI WILL LIKELY RENDER WHAT I DO - AND WHAT YOU ASPIRE TO DO - OBSOLETE. That sounds uncomfortable. It is supposed to. But I am not predicting that software engineers, accountants, marketers, researchers, cybersecurity professionals or engineers will simply disappear. I am arguing something more important: 👉 A significant portion of what these professionals do today is becoming automatable. And that could fundamentally rewrite the career ladder. For decades, professional progression broadly looked like: Learn → Execute → Gain Experience → Manage → Lead In the AI era, I believe it may increasingly become: Learn → AI-Augment → Automate → Integrate → Architect → Govern → Lead Why? Because when AI can write routine code, analyze datasets, prepare reports, generate content, summarize research, perform reconciliations and automate increasingly complex workflows, execution alone becomes less differentiated. The economic premium starts moving upward. 💡 From coding → architecture 💡 From reporting → interpretation 💡 From content creation → insight 💡 From manual analysis → decision intelligence 💡 From operating processes → automating processes 💡 From using AI → orchestrating AI 💡 From technology execution → governance and leadership This has profound implications for professionals - and an even bigger implication for education. I don't believe we should tell the next generation: ❌ Don't become an engineer. ❌ Don't become an accountant. ❌ Don't become a marketer. ❌ Don't become a cybersecurity professional. Instead, we should tell them: ✅ Become an engineer who understands AI. ✅ Become an accountant who can leverage AI. ✅ Become a cybersecurity professional who can secure and govern AI. ✅ Become a marketer who combines AI-scale experimentation with human insight. ✅ Become a leader capable of managing humans AND intelligent machines. And education needs to evolve accordingly. Perhaps the wrong question is: “Will AI take my job?” The better question is: “What must I become when AI can do much of what my job requires today?” That is the central argument of my new article: 📖 “AI Will Likely Render What I Do - and What You Aspire to Do - Obsolete.” I would particularly like to hear from fellow technology leaders, educators, students and professionals: What percentage of your current role do you believe AI could perform within the next five years - 20%, 50%, 80%? And more importantly: What are you learning today to remain valuable tomorrow? #ArtificialIntelligence #FutureOfWork #GenerativeAI #AgenticAI #MachineLearning #FutureSkills #CareerTransformation #DigitalTransformation #AIEngineering #CyberSecurity #TechnologyLeadership #Leadership #Reskilling #Upskilling #FutureCareers #Education #DrNileshRoy #CyberSentinel

AI Governance Leads - De-Risking AI Adoption

⚡ Workday is in federal court over its AI hiring tools. A federal court has allowed key AI hiring discrimination claims to move forward, and has held that a technology vendor performing delegated hiring functions can potentially be treated as the employer's agent. The employer cannot call it a vendor problem. The vendor cannot say it only sells software. 👉 Here is what should concern every enterprise. That system almost certainly passed reviews. Security can review the controls. Legal can assess liability. Risk can sign off. Privacy, audit and the business can each reach a defensible conclusion. But those individual reviews do not automatically answer the enterprise question: Have the risks that actually matter been reduced enough for this AI system to proceed? Different functions seeing different risks is not a governance failure. That disagreement is healthy. The failure is when there is no mechanism for bringing those risk views, the evidence, and the residual exposure together into one defensible decision. An AI system can pass every review and still not have a risk-based approval decision. If your organization is wrestling with how to make that decision in practice, I would like to hear from you. I write about this in De-Risking AI Adoption, publishing September 15. Sign up for my newsletter and you will hear first when it is available, along with the thinking behind it.

Chile AI Security & Governance Experts - National AI Guide

🇺🇸 The challenge of AI is no longer simply adopting it. It is governing it when it starts to decide, recommend, and act. And that challenge cannot be addressed by a single organization, discipline, or country. From the AI Security & Governance Commission of the Chilean Chamber of Artificial Intelligence (CCHIA), together with its 36 members, we are developing the AI Governance & Security Guide for Chile. And we want to bring into this process the perspectives of experts from Chile and around the world. 🌎 Why open this conversation? Because a guide that aims to become a meaningful reference must connect operational experience, research, regulation, security, and industry expertise. We want to hear from those who are currently: → Implementing AI across large organizations and startups → Protecting systems, data, and critical infrastructure → Shaping public policy and regulation → Conducting research at universities and academic institutions → Assessing legal, ethical, and societal risks → Auditing automated systems → Building AI models, platforms, and agents → Making decisions across boards, technology, risk, compliance, data, and cybersecurity We do not want this guide to remain at the level of principles alone. We want it to help answer questions that are already reaching boards, CISOs, developers, auditors, and regulators: ❓ Who is accountable when an automated system makes the wrong decision? ❓ What controls should be in place before AI goes into production? ❓ How should we govern AI agents capable of taking actions across real-world systems? ❓ What evidence should a board, regulator, or auditor require? ❓ How do we protect data, people, and organizations without slowing innovation? Our ambition is clear: Chile should not only stand out for adopting Artificial Intelligence. It should also be able to demonstrate that the AI it uses is secure, governable, and auditable. And we believe that a national reference of this nature must be built by listening to diverse voices. If you work in AI, AI Security, cybersecurity, data governance, privacy, regulation, compliance, audit, risk, ethics, public policy, academia, infrastructure, model development, or agentic AI systems, whether in Chile or anywhere in the world: we want to hear your perspective. 👉 Comment “GUIDE” or send me a DM to participate in the collaboration and review process. 🔁 And if you know someone whose expertise should be represented in this conversation, share this post or tag them in the comments. We do not want to build a guide simply to talk about the future of AI. We want to build a guide that is useful for those already facing it. 🇨🇱

Zero Trust Engineers in Regulated Orgs - AI Security & PQC Readiness

A compliance auditor asked one question last month that stopped the room. The setting was a healthcare estate three months into a segmentation rollout. Group-based policy was landing cleanly. Identity was mapped. East-west traffic was inspected and locked down. Audit trails were flowing where the compliance team wanted them. The board deck was ready to be walked through, and the risk register was smaller than it had been in years. Then the auditor, from the client's parent group, asked how the crypto in transit would hold up in five years, once harvest-now-decrypt-later became a real timeline for regulated data. His point was that the segmentation, however clean, sat on top of a layer nobody in the room had worked on with the same discipline. That layer was the one exposed to the five-year horizon. Nobody in the room had a good answer, because the architecture didn't contain one. The shift I keep bumping into now, across pharma, healthcare, and regulated ITES estates: Zero Trust segmentation isn't the frontier anymore, it's the floor. What isn't settled is the layer above. That layer is the data protection sequencing, the crypto estate ahead of PQC, and how fast AI is going to change what an attacker can do at machine speed for almost nothing. That's the ground I'm moving toward. So I'm widening the lens. Same first-person register, same field-first bias, broader ground. AI security and post-quantum readiness. Cisco portfolio field notes from the pre-sales seat, including where the platform I sell is the right answer and where it isn't. Security architecture patterns that carry across vendors. And the resilience stack that sits alongside Zero Trust: data protection sequencing, threat modelling for enterprise, PQC migration. The newsletter is coming too. It's now called The Security Practitioner. Fortnightly. Next issue on the 27th of August. If you're running a Zero Trust or SSE rollout in a regulated environment right now, or you're a pre-sales SE at a competing platform who reasons differently about where the enforcement point should sit, or a CISO who has already crossed the layer above segmentation and figured out what mattered on the other side, or a threat modeller who thinks I've got the sequence wrong on which layer above segmentation matters first, I'd particularly like to hear from you. For folks 3-7 years into security architecture: what widened your lens most, and what pattern do you wish you'd started tracking a year earlier? Softened for confidentiality. Views my own. #Cybersecurity #ZeroTrust #AISecurity #CiscoIndia

CISOs & IT Leaders - AI Resilience & Agent Consent

Double whammy of #journorequests this morning 🙏 both for IT Pro. The first is about AI resilience and the second is about consent in the age of AI. Can anyone help? 🤖 AI resilience 📆 Deadline: 3 August "AI resilience" is everywhere at the mo, from the OpenAI Foundation's $25bn commitment to enterprises racing to build recovery and governance tools for AI agents. I want to get past the buzzword and into what this actually means for teams now. Keen to hear from: – CISOs or IT leaders who've built an AI governance or resilience programme – Cybersecurity/backup vendors working on AI-specific tooling – AI safety researchers and analysts covering this space Example qus: what does an AI resilient stack look like? Is this a new discipline, or cyber resilience wearing a different hat? And what are most enterprises still getting wrong? ✅ Consent in the age of AI 📆 Deadline: 10 August Cookie banners etc. were built for a "one and done" model, but agents on Copilot, Agentforce, MCP-connected tools et al. need permission before every action. I want to know what agent-ready consent needs to look like and whether businesses can actually prove what an AI agent was permitted to do at the moment it acted or not. Would like to speak to: – IT and compliance leaders dealing with agent access and permissions – Data protection or privacy specialists working on consent frameworks – Identity and access management vendors building for agentic tools Questions: Can businesses audit what an agent did and why? What does agent-ready consent look like? Where are today's frameworks breaking first? What happens when we hand over the keys of consent to the machines?

GNSS & Atomic Clock Experts - Geopolitics of Precision Timing

Who Controls Time? The Hidden Geopolitics of GPS, Atomic Clocks, and Global Synchronization I’ve been exploring an idea that seems surprisingly under-discussed in mainstream geopolitics. We usually think geopolitical power is about territory, energy, trade routes, or semiconductors. But what if one of the most important strategic assets is time? Not time zones in the everyday sense, but precision timing. Modern civilization depends on synchronized time. GPS isn’t just used for navigation—it provides the precise timing that keeps financial markets, telecommunications, power grids, internet infrastructure, aviation, military operations, and cloud computing running. Even tiny timing errors can have outsized consequences. That got me wondering: ● Is GPS really a form of American geopolitical leverage? ● Was China’s BeiDou primarily about technological sovereignty rather than navigation? ● Why did the EU invest billions in Galileo despite already having access to GPS? ● Could timing infrastructure become as strategically important as semiconductors or rare earths? ● If a major conflict disrupted GNSS signals, what would fail first: financial systems, critical infrastructure, or military operations? I’m planning a deep-dive article tentatively titled: “Who Controls Time? The Hidden Geopolitics of Time Zones, GPS, and Global Synchronization.” Before I begin, I’d love to hear from people with expertise in satellite navigation, cybersecurity, telecommunications, finance, defense, or international relations. ● Are there books, papers, or reports you’d recommend? ● Which real-world incidents best illustrate the geopolitical importance of precision timing? ● Is this genuinely an underexplored area, or am I overlooking existing work? I’m especially interested in sources beyond popular journalism—academic papers, technical standards, think-tank reports, or government publications are all welcome.

Scam Survivors & Cybersecurity Pros - Operation Bottle Wash

Today, I’m launching something bigger than me. I’m asking for people who believe we can make the internet just a little safer than we found it. It’s called Operation Bottle Wash. People often laugh when they hear the term “bottle washer.” It sounds like a small job. But think about it. Without someone washing the bottles… …babies don’t get fed. …restaurants can’t serve meals. …families don’t have clean dishes on the table. It’s one of the most important jobs that almost nobody notices. That’s who we are. Bottle Washers. People willing to do the work that protects others, even if nobody ever knows our names. Today, our dirty bottles aren’t made of glass. They’re scams. Fraud. Fake recruiters. Identity theft. Romance scams. Investment scams. Phishing. The criminals who profit from hurting good people. I can’t clean this up alone. I need Bottle Washers. I’m looking for: * People who have been scammed. * People who almost became victims. * People who caught a scam before it succeeded. * Cybersecurity professionals. * Investigators. * Recruiters. * Anyone with screenshots, emails, stories, or evidence. I want to interview you. I want to hear your story. I want to expose these scams publicly so someone else doesn’t become the next victim. Every screenshot matters. Every story matters. Every warning matters. You don’t have to be a cybersecurity expert. You just have to care. If enough of us become Bottle Washers, we can make it much harder for criminals to hide. One scam at a time. One victim prevented at a time. One dirty bottle cleaned at a time. Will you join Operation Bottle Wash? Become a Bottle Washer. Help protect people you’ll probably never meet. Because that’s what real Bottle Washers do. How do I help you ask: All you need to do is message me to get started.

Former Tenable Employees - Culture & AI & CISO Role Future

It is my absolute pleasure to welcome Ronald Gula on the Noise2Signal podcast. This is also the last interview of the season. Ron is a true OG in cybersecurity. I consider myself incredibly lucky to have worked under him very early in my career, because the principles I learned from watching him scale Tenable are relevant even today, and I use those timeless lessons every day while runningQuantro Security. Someone once told me, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast" ;) Which is exactly why I started the interview there. Early on, I didn't quite understand why the Tenable founders invested so much time in their employees and building the culture of the company, but looking back, I have immense respect for what they did. One of the core pillars of that culture was: take care of the people, the people will take care of the products, and the products will take care of the business. I know this sounds cliche, but I experienced it in a very real way. It wasn’t the superficial platitudes you see so much of today. We cover a lot of ground in this interview. Here are some of the highlights: - Early culture of Tenable - Is vRon just the Larry David version of the real Ron? (he makes a cameo ;)) - Fundraising for AI startups. - The five-slide pitch deck: What works, what doesn't. - Dangers of AI Wrappers, and how to build actual moats. - Why the CISO role is ripe for displacement in the age of AI. - The future of AI-native cyber offense and defense. I started Noise2Signal out of pure frustration after coming back from #RSAC26 and witnessing so much noise, making it incredibly difficult to find the actual signal from the noise. I'm so grateful to all my guests, and to all the listeners for all the love and support the show has received. In a way, the end of this season feels poetic, starting the interview series with Renaud, and closing it out with Ron. Taking a break for a few weeks, but I'll be back with some exciting interviews in August. If you would like to come on the show and have an interesting story to share, drop me a line.
