Summary On this episode of Chattinn Cyber, Marc is chattin’ with Ben Wilcox, Chief Technology Officer and Chief Information Security Officer at ProArch. Their chat opens by focusing on high-impact, practical ways organizations can reduce cyber risk. Ben highlights identity as the top priority: his team moved to passkeys to remove passwords and lower the attack surface. He stresses that threat actors increasingly use man-in-the-middle techniques and that AI has accelerated the automation of credential-theft, which makes strengthening identity controls essential. The chat then moves to AI and data governance. Ben describes rolling out visibility tools to monitor internal AI use - what prompts users run and what data is fed into models - and pairing that with data labeling and classification. He warns organizations to restrict where AI tools are allowed and to implement compensating data controls to prevent accidental or intentional leaks of sensitive information. Ben cautions that AI and cybersecurity must be adopted in parallel, because AI will reveal existing misconfigurations and permission drift.
