In this episode of CISO Tradecraft, host G Mark Hardy speaks with EJ Pappas of PKWARE and Ross Young about why AI-driven threats demand a shift from platform-centric security to a data-centric strategy.
CISOs still struggle to answer, “Where is our sensitive data?” as it sprawls across AI, endpoints, cloud, SaaS, and shared environments. In this conversation, we explore:
- Why CISOs still struggle with data visibility
- How vendor sprawl and fragmented toolsets create blind spots
- The difference between structured and unstructured data risk
- Why AI accelerates both defense and mistakes
- DLP vs. encryption: complementary, not competing controls
- Commonly missed exposure areas (test/QA environments, cloud storage)
- Compliance drivers including GLBA, PCI DSS, HIPAA, HITRUST CSF, and NIST SP 800-171
