Trying to keep up with the rapidly emerging and evolving governance of AI? Struggling to figure out how to address customer misgivings about your AI systems?

NOTE: This blog was originally published on 3/24/2024 and has been updated as of 8/1/2024 now that the EU AI Act has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union and “enter[s] into force” 20 days thereafter, or on August 1, 2024.

Similar to the way the launch of the first satellite, Sputnik, both introduced a new technology era—the space race—and raised some alarm, the ongoing adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI) is beginning to permeate industries worldwide, prompting questions of how cybersecurity will need to adjust to accommodate this huge new development.

NOTE: This blog was originally posted on February 27, 2024, when this bill was still in the proposal stage. As of March 13, 2024, the bill has been passed by both branches of the Florida legislature, and this content has been updated to reflect that progress.

In the ever-evolving digital landscape, the sophistication of cybersecurity advances runs in parallel with the advancing cyberattacks. Among these varied threats, ransomware, and what can be its devastating impact, remains a prominent concern as it becomes clear that no organization is safe.

Recently, the UK National Security Centre (NCSC) and the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)—along with other groups from around the world—released the Guidelines for Secure AI System Development.

Like all evolutions in technology, quantum computing promises to revolutionize problem-solving and to do so at speeds that are unimaginable for classic computers we know. However, this technological advancement also poses a significant threat to our current cryptographic systems and algorithms that underpin how the world protects and verifies information.

Though perhaps not as prominent as the widely known Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) and Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certifications, the Certificate of Cloud Security Knowledge (CCSK) can also be helpful to cybersecurity professionals.
