From the

Publisher…

Dear Friends,

From the publisher’s desk, we continue to see developments involving both developers and regulators,
in private and government sectors, reflecting the needs of our professionals in understanding how these
rapid changes will benefit or harm all of us.

th
On July 26 , 2023, the SEC voted 3-2 to adopt new rules on cybersecurity disclosures. These rules are
designed to help investors make informed investment decisions by providing them with more information
about the cybersecurity risks facing public companies. These rules also aim to encourage public
companies to take steps to improve their cybersecurity posture.

There is no shortage of concerns voiced by practitioners in nearly all types of cyber security endeavors.
Artificial intelligence continues to be the wild card, and its potential effect on almost every sector has
heightened the level of discussion and possible means of dealing with AI as both a threat and an
opportunity.

We believe that the role of the CISO and related professionals will provide the most effective and efficient
way to optimize the future integration of AI into our economy and society. This holds true across the
board, recognizing the rapid development of applications based on artificial intelligence, such as privacy,
identity theft and fraud, and consumer protections. We honor those CISOs and a select group of Top
th
InfoSec Innovators from our 11 Annual Awards program at https://www.cisoconference.com.
As always, it’s important for us to be mindful of the mission and contribution we have undertaken, to
provide the most professional and up-to-date forum for keeping our readers informed of challenges and
responses in today’s cyber world. With the support of our contributors and readers, we continue to pursue
our role as the premier publication in cybersecurity.

Warmest regards, P.S. When you share a story or an article or
information about CDM, please use #CDM and
