Please join us on Friday December 12, 2025 for Super Cyber Friday.
Our topic of discussion will be “Hacking AI Workflows: An hour of critical thinking about securing sensitive data beyond traditional cybersecurity perimeters.”
Joining David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series for this discussion will be:
- James Rice, vp of product strategy and GTM, Protegrity
- Doug Mayer, vp, CISO, WCG
Got feedback? Join the conversation on LinkedIn.
In preparation for our discussion, think about the following:
- What are AI workflows now and what’s different compared to traditional IT systems or architectures?
- What security perimeters still exist when data is copied, transformed, and sent into multiple AI tools, RAG layers, agents, and vector databases?
- How do data platforms, cloud platforms, and cybersecurity tools fit into the AI pipeline? And where do they fall short?
- Why are traditional cybersecurity controls unable to meet AI’s new requirements for real-time data, dynamic context, and continuous reasoning?
- What does “Zero Trust” actually mean in an AI context, and is it even achievable?
- How should security leaders think about training data, embeddings, vector stores, fine-tuning, and model outputs as attack surfaces, not just components?
- What do AI teams actually need from security to move fast, and without being blocked by policy, governance, or red tape?
- How can data security enable safe model training, safe context windows, safe RAG, and safe agentic workflows without re-engineering data pipelines?
- How can organizations balance AI’s hunger for data with compliance, privacy, and risk constraints – without saying “no” to innovation?
Huge thanks to our episode sponsor, Protegrity
It all starts at 1 PM Eastern/10 AM Pacific. At the end of the hour [2 PM Eastern/11 AM Pacific] we’ll switch gears to our meetup where everyone will get a chance to chat face to face.
ALSO…
- We play games during the show, and some players can win prizes! Players in the US can receive prizes as gifts; those outside the US can win gift cards.
