The Straight-Talk Podcast on Cyber Risk & AI

Candid conversations on cyber risk and putting AI to work, for security and risk leaders

Converge Lab Navigating Cyber and AI Podcast by SBS CyberSecurity.
About the Show

Your Monthly Edge on Cyber and AI

The smartest people in cyber are already using AI every day. Converge Lab gets them on the mic. Each month, SBS CyberSecurity's experts trade notes with the practitioners and executives doing the work, in short and candid conversations you can actually use.

In each episode, we unpack emerging threats, the real-world impact of AI on risk management, and what it takes to build a security culture that holds up under pressure. Whether you lead security at a bank or credit union, wear five hats at a growing business, or live and breathe this work every day, pull up a seat in the lab.

Get the Leadership View on Cyber and AI

"Someone asked what would be the first thing to break in your organization if AI disappeared. My answer? I would break. It has become such an integral part of the way I work. It's my thought partner."

— Chad Knutson, CEO, SBS CyberSecurity

In our debut episode, host Jon Waldman and SBS CEO Chad Knutson get candid about how AI is changing the way leaders work, decide, and manage risk.

CISA, CRISC, CDPSE
Co-Founder & President, SBS CyberSecurity and SBS Institute

For more than 20 years, Jon Waldman has helped hundreds of organizations understand their cybersecurity risk and make better, more informed business decisions.
