How AI is affecting GRC and the future of cybersecurity
Dr. Heather Buker of 6clicks has been a technical SME in the cybersecurity field her entire career, and 6clicks has introduced Ask Hailey, an AI-based governance risk and compliance (GRC) tool that promises to move the work of GRC into a new era. Also on the show, Infosec’s vice president of portfolio product strategy and cybersecurity superstar Keatron Evans in a guest-host capacity! Buker, Keatron and I discuss the spaces in which governance risk and compliance can greatly benefit from AI/machine learning enhancement, the crucial need to prioritize the decision-making skills of humans over everything else and why seemingly disparate career roles and pivots can still lead you in the career direction you desire most.
