The explosion of Copilot offerings form Microsoft have helped scale the availability of Artificial Intelligence beyond models to customize into mainstream business productivity products.  As organizations adopt these models, the security team is stretched to keep pace and reduce risk.  On this episode of The Profession of Security Podcast, we discuss the career implications for AI in the security team, protecting enterprise data, and how to be part of the future skill development for Artificial Intelligence in your team.

On the back of the recent Microsoft Ignite conference, the role of Artificial Intelligence in security - both securing it and using it in operating security - is highlighted front and center.  For the security professional, it raises existential questions about how to engage.  What is real for the company these days?  How does a security executive evaluate AI in the security toolset, and how does the security analyst or engineer today prepare for an AI-integrated future?

The Chief Information Security Officer carries many burdens, first and foremost as an executive leader in the larger business organization.  Despite that, recent studies suggest that not every CISO has developed the competencies required to drive board-level outcomes and decisions.  The Profession of Security podcast expores what makes a CISO board ready and how the sum of experiences over a career can help develop a future security leader to move the business.
