From ISACA 2026 North America Conference – KB On The Go | Built on Borrowed Tools: Supply Chain Risk and the AI ROI Flip
1w ago00:34:36Tap to summarizeKB is on the ground at ISACA 2026 North American Conference in Las Vegas, sitting down with two guests pulling at the same thread from different angles: the gap between how dependent we’ve become on modern tools and how little we actually understand them. First, Pam Nigro, SVP of Security and Security Officer at Medecision and Board Director at ISACA, unpacks why supply chain has become the most vulnerable area in cyber security right now. She gets into the hidden risks sitting inside SaaS dependencies, API chains and open source libraries deployed once and forgotten, what operational paralysis actually looks like when a critical tool goes down, and why companies need to stop treating supply chain as a vendor risk checkbox and start treating it as a resilience problem. Then Asaf Weisberg, CEO of introSight and Board Director at ISACA, joins to flip the AI ROI conversation. While recent ISACA research shows most companies still can’t measure return on AI investment, Asaf argues the ROI is already obvious if you know where to look. He breaks down why traditional ROI calculations don’t fit AI, what’s happening inside software teams right now with tools like Claude Code, and the very real risk of leaking your most valuable IP through free AI subscriptions.

From Atmos SPHERE 2026 – KB On The Go | Resilience And Recovery
2w ago00:50:16Tap to summarizeIn this episode of KB on the Go, recorded at Atmos SPHERE 2026, Karissa Breen brings together two conversations united by one uncomfortable truth: we have built fast, efficient, hyper connected societies, and quietly traded away our resilience. First, Karissa sits down with Admiral Mike Rogers, Global Advisory Board member at CyberCX, and Alastair MacGibbon, Independent Adviser, to unpack what real national resilience looks like in 2026. They explore why cyber is no longer just about protecting data, but about availability and integrity, what happens when you can no longer trust the systems you depend on, and why it so often takes a crisis before meaningful change happens. Then, Karissa is joined by Heather Osborne, Director of Global Events and Programming at NetDiligence, and Stefanie Luhrs, Partner, First Response at Atmos, to dig into what the 2026 cyber loss data is really telling us. The conversation covers the rising cost of business interruption, the long tail of human and reputational impact after a breach, the strain on B2B relationships, and the wave of regulatory activity expected in Australia over the next twelve months. Two conversations, one shared message: we are optimised for cheapest and fastest, but not for when things break, and resilience is the conversation we keep putting off.

MJ tackles agent sprawl, why context beats the model, and the “jagged edge of intelligence” where AI can do PhD level work one minute and fumble basic tasks the next. Plus why sitting out the experimentation phase is the most expensive thing you can do right now.
