S1 EP. 17: United Healthcare Post-Attack Update, Cloud Security Investments, Brad's Thoughts on AI tools Hume & HeyGen.
Brad Bussie, Chief Information Security Officer at e360, hosts the State of Enterprise IT Security Edition podcast, where he delves into three main topics aimed at making IT security more approachable for technology leaders.
The first segment reflects on the aftermath of a ransomware attack on United Health and Change Healthcare, highlighting the sobering realization that paying ransoms does not guarantee the safety of stolen data, as evidenced by Change Healthcare's loss of sensitive patient information despite a $22 million ransom payment.
The second segment discusses cloud security, questioning the substantial investment in cloud technology and exploring the utility and limitations of security tools such as SIEM, EDR, and ITDR based on a survey of 150 security professionals from large companies. The implications of automation and AI in enhancing security operations, despite staffing challenges within the IT security domain, are also examined.
The third segment probes the ethical and privacy concerns surrounding AI technologies capable of emotional intelligence and voice synthesis, spotlighting Hume's empathic AI and HeyGen's AI-driven content creation platform. Bussie underscores the need for robust security measures to protect user data and prevent misuse of AI in emotional manipulation and content generation, advocating for user vigilance and informed engagement with emerging AI technologies.
