IT Security Guru, Friday, July 17th, 2026

[fetch failed] CISOs report that boards still fail to understand the human-centric cyber risks AI is amplifying.

This IT Security Guru piece reports on CISO sentiment that boardrooms continue to underestimate human-factor cyber risk, which AI is now amplifying.

The article probably draws on survey data of CISOs and argues for better board-level reporting on human risk.
