Register now and join us in March! This panel focuses on the day-to-day mechanics of building patent portfolios that actually work. Panelists Randy Canis, Matt Cutler, Mike McLean, and John M. White will examine how inventions are identified and prioritized, how claim scope can and should be shaped to match business objectives, and how prosecution decisions compound over time to strengthen—or weaken—portfolio value. https://lnkd.in/eC9vq9Ss #IPWatchdog #GeneQuinn #IP #IntellectualProperty #IPWLIVE2026 #IPWatchdogLIVE #LIVE2026 Gene Quinn

Erick Rudiak reacted on thisErick Rudiak reacted on thisAfter 17 remarkable years, I've closed the chapter on my BCG journey. When I rejoined BCG in 2008 in Hong Kong, I had no idea what I was walking into. Turns out: an extraordinary community of people who would challenge me, champion me, and change me. I'm grateful beyond words for: → Leaders like Ludger Kuebel-Sorger, Steve Maaseide, Chris Bowers, and Scott Wilder, who trusted me with meaningful work and advocated for my growth → The brilliant, caring colleagues I had the honor of serving alongside across Knowledge, IT, Amplify Impact, Investment Committee and beyond → My incredible teams — engineers and product owners, UX designers and content managers, change managers and scrum leaders, CEO ambassadors and consultants — who showed up every day with creativity, grit, and excellence Leaving was not easy. Seventeen years of growth, connection, and purpose don't pack up quietly. But something new is calling — and in three weeks, I'll be answering. Stay tuned. 👀 #BCG #NewChapter #CareerGrowth #StayTuned

Most exposure programs don’t… • 3K followers
I’ve been thinking about exposure management less as a tooling problem and more as a systems problem. When discovery grows faster than mobilization capacity, exposure doesn’t just increase — it compounds. That accumulation is exposure debt.

The State of Nevada systems have been crippled by ransomware. For weeks. Then so read this: The state of Nevada does not have a single Chief Information Security Officer (CISO); instead, a Chief Information Officer (CIO) role exists, and responsibility for information security is a collaborative effort involving multiple IT security and department leaders, according to this State of Nevada article. Alan Cunningham previously served as the State CIO and oversaw the Enterprise Information Technology Services Division, which supports state agencies, but the position of a dedicated State CISO is not present. Key Takeaways • No dedicated State CISO: Thoughts anyone?

ISO27001-SOC2 • 16K followers
90% of ISO 27001 projects look great on paper and change absolutely nothing. I’ve seen it hundreds of times. The certificate arrives. The team celebrates. Then… nothing. No faster sales. No stronger culture. No real control. Because most companies treat ISO 27001 as a compliance trophy not a commercial engine. Here’s what actually shifts the culture: ➤ When founders stop outsourcing responsibility and start owning the risk conversation. ➤ When engineers see controls as accelerators, not obstacles. ➤ When “security” becomes the language of delivery, not delay. ISO 27001 done right doesn’t just tick boxes, it changes how people think, decide, and sell. It makes your business audit-ready, deal-ready, and investor-proof every single day. That’s when the ROI kicks in. Fewer audit cycles. Faster procurement. More trust baked into every demo. Forget the paperwork. You’re not buying compliance. You’re buying credibility. The question is: does your certification live in your culture, or just on your wall? #ISO27001 #SaaSLeadership #CyberSecurityStrategy #StartupSecurity #B2BSales #FinTechSecurity #SecurityCulture #ComplianceThatWins #CISOLife #EnterpriseSales

Cybersecurity isn’t just an IT issue — it’s a fiduciary responsibility. The ‘NIST IR 8286r1’ helps bridge the gap between technical operations and the boardroom by integrating cyber risk into Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). Here: -> https://lnkd.in/gsXi5Vta This reframes the conversation: From vulnerabilities to business impact From technical metrics to financial exposure From reactive spend to risk-informed strategy A single ransomware event can cost millions of $ in downtime, legal, and reputational impact. That’s enterprise risk. Leadership starts with aligning cyber risk to mission objectives and enabling data-driven decisions at the board level.

Clorox is suing Cognizant for $380M. The reason? A 2023 cyberattack that crippled their operations, allegedly caused by poor help desk controls and a botched incident response. - This wasn’t just a breach. It disrupted supply chains, damaged customer trust, and is now turning into a legal battle with one vendor blaming the other. As security professionals, we often say: "Third-party risk is your risk." But too often, those warnings get ignored… until it’s too late. This case raises questions that CISOs and boards must be asking: - Are our vendors following the same standards we require internally? - How strong are our controls against social engineering, especially at the help desk? - Do we have contractual clarity around incident response ownership? Link to the full article is in the comments. #Cybersecurity #RiskManagement #GRC #InfoSec #CISOs

Physical access management is still treated like a badge problem. It’s not. It’s an identity problem. A risk problem. An audit problem. This short video breaks down why traditional approaches fail and what modern enterprises are doing differently to govern physical access with the same rigor as cyber. If you’re responsible for access, compliance, or risk, this one’s worth 5 minutes. 👇 #PhysicalSecurity #Identity #SecurityConvergence #AccessControl #RiskManagement

If retailers wouldn’t tolerate lax food safety practices, why overlook gaps in cyber risk? They hold just as much valuable data as financial institutions, yet often invest far less in protecting it. As cybercriminals take notice—and the cost of inaction grows—it’s time to treat cybersecurity as a business-critical risk, not an afterthought.
