Episode Notes

Welcome to a new episode of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast. In this episode, Sean Martin is joined by Sidney Pearl to discuss the AI-ISAC (Artificial Intelligence Information Sharing and Analysis Center). They talk about the importance of operationalizing security and how communities, such as CISOs and other business executives, play a vital role in information sharing.

Sidney Pearl, the newly appointed executive director of AI ISAC, shares his background and experience in cybersecurity. The pair explore the structure of ISAOs (Information Sharing and Analysis Organizations) and ISACs. They explain that ISACs were initially formed to develop public and private partnerships between the government and private industry to share information and identify threats to critical infrastructure. Over time, ISACs have evolved into ISAOs, which have members beyond just the government and focus on sharing information across various domains.

The conversation then shifts to the AI ISAC and its importance in sharing information about artificial intelligence-related threats. They emphasize that the AI-ISAC is neutral and aims to help all ISACs and ISAOs gain insight into the threat landscape associated with artificial intelligence. They discuss the challenges of navigating the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence, where bad actors can leverage AI tools for malicious purposes.

Sean and Sidney stress the necessity for organizations to proactively understand the trajectory of AI and make informed decisions. They highlight the importance of accessibility to good information for organizations to stay ahead of threats. Trust plays a crucial role in the success of ISACs, and Sidney invites the audience to engage with the AI-ISAC to foster trust and collaboration. Sidney also expresses the AI-ISAC's commitment to working together with the cybersecurity community to adapt to the changes brought by artificial intelligence. He encourages listeners to reach out and participate in the dialogue, emphasizing that we are all in this together.
