Note sull'episodio

Cyber risk doesn't stop at your firewall anymore. It's tangled up in treaties, trade, and geopolitics whether we like it or not.

In this episode, Joye Purser sits down with Edna Conway (former C-level exec at Microsoft and Cisco, current board member and international cyber policy voice) live from RSAC. They get into why "agent" might be the wrong word for the AI systems flooding our environments, how CISOs can finally talk risk in a language the board actually understands, and the UN treaty most security teams have never heard of that could force companies to hand over their own technology.

Edna breaks down the real story behind the Cybercrime Convention (70 nations signed on) and the ICT Security Treaty quietly taking shape behind it. She also makes the case for why security can't afford to operate in silos anymore. Procurement, legal, ops, and security all need to be at the same table, building one holistic view instead of a dozen disconnected ones.

What we cover:

  • Why "non-human identity" governance matters more than the AI buzzword itself
  • How to score and communicate agent risk in dollars, not colors
  • The UN Cybercrime Convention and the new ICT treaty on the horizon
  • Why 70 nations signing on should be a wake up call for every ICT provider
  • Building resilience by embedding security into the processes you already have
  • Why breaking down silos between security, legal, procurement, and ops is the real unlock

Cyber resilience is a team sport and it's a geopolitical one too.
