As AI and cloud-based services power our connected world, individuals are facing an unprecedented privacy crisis. With more than 2.3 billion people entrusting their data to the cloud and centralized servers, cyberattacks, data breaches, surveillance, identity theft, and privacy threats are now everyday risks. How do we protect against these threats? O Company founder and CEO, Guillaume Jaulerry, believes we’ve crossed a critical threshold -- cloud dependence has quietly become a strategic liability, and individuals, professionals, and enterprises alike are facing a looming privacy crisis. Guillaume joins Business Security Weekly to share his perspective on how technology should shift, putting in the center of it human privacy.

This week, we chat with Scott Clinton, board member and co-chain of the OWASP GenAI Security Project. This project has become a massive organization within OWASP with hundreds of volunteers and thousands of contributors. This team has been cranking out new tools, reports and guidance for practitioners month after month for over a year now. We start off discussing how Scott and other leaders have managed to keep up with the crazy rate of change in the AI world. We pivot to discussing some of the specific projects the team is working on, and finally discuss some of the biggest AI security challenges before wrapping up the conversation. If you're neck-deep in AI like we are, I highly recommend checking out this conversation, and consider joining this OWASP project, sponsoring them, or just checking out what they have to offer (which is all free, of course).

Segment 1 - Interview with Jeff Pollard Introducing Forrester’s AEGIS Framework: Agentic AI Enterprise Guardrails For Information Security For this episode’s interview, we’re talking to Forrester analyst Jeff Pollard. I’m pulling this segment’s description directly from the report’s executive summary, which I think says it best: As AI agents and agentic AI are introduced to the enterprise, they present new challenges for CISOs. Traditional cybersecurity architectures were designed for organizations built around people. Agentic AI destroys that notion. In the near future, organizations will build for goal-oriented, ephemeral, scalable, dynamic agents where unpredictable emergent behaviors are incentivized to accomplish objectives. This change won’t be as simple or as straightforward as mobile and cloud — and that’s bad news for security leaders who in some cases still find themselves challenged by cloud security.

Up first, the ASW news of the week. At Black Hat 2025, Doug White interviews Ted Shorter, CTO of Keyfactor, about the quantum revolution already knocking on cybersecurity’s door. They discuss the terrifying reality of quantum computing’s power to break RSA and ECC encryption—the very foundations of modern digital life. With 2030 set as the deadline for transitioning away from legacy crypto, organizations face a race against time. Ted breaks down what "full crypto visibility" really means, why it’s crucial to map your cryptographic assets now, and how legacy tech—from robotic sawmills to outdated hospital gear—poses serious risks. The interview explores NIST's new post-quantum algorithms, global readiness efforts, and how Keyfactor’s acquisitions of InfoSec Global and Cipher Insights help companies start the quantum transition today—not tomorrow. Don’t wait for the breach. Watch this and start your quantum strategy now. If digital trust is the goal, cryptography is the foundation. Segment Resources: http://www
