Businesses face severe challenges when balancing short-term efficiency with long-term adaptability against unforeseen cyber events. And Artificial Intelligence has only added to those challenges. How should organizations prepare?
Bill O'Connell, Chief Security Officer (CSO) at Commvault, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why CISOs must think like resilient boxers, not fortresses. Bill will discuss why the CISO is becoming the Chief Resilience Officer and why they need to focus on Availability and Recovery. Bill's four areas of focus include:
AI Governance and Controls
Configuration Management
Backup and Recovery, and
Testing
Balancing artificial intelligence risk with productivity gains requires organizations to manage the tension between speed, security, and human oversight. The business wants to move fast, but security has concerns and employees fear for their jobs. How can organization adopt AI while eliminating friction points?
In this CyberRisk TV interview, Matt Alderman speaks with Ryan Grant, Country Manager for the US and Canada at ESET, about building cyber resilience in the AI era. They discuss findings from ESET’s 2026 S&P Cyber Readiness Index, including the continued challenges organizations face with basic cyber hygiene, the growing sophistication of phishing attacks, and the impact AI is having on traditional threats.
Grant explains why organizations should focus on foundational security practices before layering AI-specific defenses on top, including multifactor authentication, access controls, endpoint detection and response, vulnerability and patch management, and incident response planning. He also addresses the rise of shadow AI and AI agents, emphasizing the need for clear policies, governance, access controls, employee training, and continuous monitoring.
The conversation also explores the challenges facing SMBs with limited cybersecurity resources and how managed service providers and security-as-a-service offerings can help close the gap. Grant discusses ESET’s newly redesigned Protect offering, which combines security technology, 24/7 monitoring, vulnerability and patch management, multifactor authentication, premium support, and a cyber warranty into a simplified package designed to help organizations strengthen their security posture and focus on prevention.

To celebrate our 404th episode we discuss what's not found in modern appsec and what still exists that should become not found. The conversation starts with a classic problem of appsec -- looking for a reliable vuln prioritization methodology. But we expand from there to challenge whether a focus on vulns and patches is even the right choice for an appsec program. Then it's on to incentives, the role of agents in writing and securing software, and what we should be looking for to bring new appsec practitioners into the industry.
