America has lived through technological and economic upheaval before. Farm workers moved to factories. Factory workers moved into services. New industries replaced old ones. Productivity rose. Living standards improved. But are we ready for the greatest disruption in American history? Ben Gilliland, author of the upcoming book Breaking the Compact, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why business leaders need to be prepared for the upcoming AI disruption. The impact of AI, which has not fully materialized, goes far beyond security and job displacement. It will impact our economy, our privacy, and our way of life. The closest recent warning is the "China shock," the period of rapidly increasing import competition that followed China's integration into the global trading system. AI will dwarf that. Ben will discuss the human advantage and how we can prepare now. In the leadership and communications segment, Cybersecurity’s Economics Are Broken.

Appsec often frames usability and security as at odds with each other. Apple's software has famously emphasized the importance of usability while also creating a solid security foundation. Patrick Wardle talks about how he's seen malware shift from Windows to macOS, how Apple's aggressive stance on deprecation benefits security, and the areas of the OS where he still sees plenty of opportunity for more security research. We discuss how developers make defensible design choices, why privacy needs security, and some security principles that any app developer should keep in mind regardless of their programming language or operating system.

Interview with Keith Hollender, CEO and Co-Founder of Arcova Why AI Security Is Becoming an Execution Problem, Not Just a Governance Problem As enterprises move from AI experimentation to adoption at scale, security leaders are under pressure to enable innovation without introducing unmanaged risk. The challenge is no longer whether organizations should pursue AI, but how they can govern it, secure it, and operationalize it in ways that stand up to real-world business and threat conditions. In this conversation, Keith Hollender discusses what Arcova is seeing across enterprise environments as organizations work to connect cybersecurity, AI governance, resilience, and broader transformation priorities. He explores where companies are getting stuck, why traditional siloed approaches are falling short, and what it takes to move from strategy decks to secure execution. Keith also shares how Arcova’s practitioner-led, relationship-driven model helps organizations turn complexity into clarity by embedding with client teams, solving urgent problems hands-on, and building capabilities designed to last. The conversation also covers Arcova’s continued growth, including expansion into the Middle East, and what global demand signals reveal about the next phase of cybersecurity and AI consulting.

The TL;DR - defense contractors have been required to comply with CMMC controls for years, but self-attestation means that many probably haven't been meeting the requirements. Perhaps, rather than have tons of defense contractors fail the test, they just suspended the requirement for the test itself. I think Howard Holton nails it here when he says: "100,000 defense contractors needed third-party assessments. Roughly 100 authorized assessors exist. That's 1,000 assessments each, with the deadline in November." PCI already created a model that works for a scenario like this. If you're small, you self-assess. If you're big enough, an independent auditor comes to check you out once a year. I'm sure they were probably aware of this and chose not to go down that path for some reasons. I'm not aware of those reasons. What this means: Phase II is paused Phase I self-assessments still in place (note, however, that phase II existed, because self-attestation didn't work) NIST SP 800-171 Rev 2 and DFARS 252.204-7012 compliance still required 60-day review aims to reform CMMC DoW opened an RFI for industry perspectives on what they should do CMMC characterized as a "compliance burden" and "red tape" False Claims Act and DOJ's cyber-fraud enforcement are still on the table More resources: CIO Davies' post on Twitter Administrator of the Small Business Administration, Kelly Loeffler's post A useful LinkedIn post that breaks down a lot of what this really means (and doesn't) Weekly Enterprise News Finally, in the enterprise security news, will AI eliminate more cybersecurity jobs than it creates?

More than 48,000 vulnerabilities were disclosed in 2025, yet only about 1% are actively exploited. However, you’re expected to mitigate all vulnerabilities, or at least critical and high. But what if there is no patch to fix the vulnerability or the software is unsupported? Ben Lipcynski, Director Security and Regulatory Services at Optima, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how organizations can take back control of your enterprise software. OPTAS — Origina Proactive Threat Assurance Service — predicts, validates, prioritizes, and mitigates threats specific to your environment. Unlike AI vulnerability tools that flag everything without context or mitigation guidance, OPTAS cuts through the noise. OPTAS helps security teams focus on the risks that matter instead of chasing the 99% that do not.
