Tue Feb 03 2026
In this episode of The Virtual CISO Moment, Greg Schaffer talks with cybersecurity veteran Scott Foote about what hasn’t changed in cyber risk over the last 35 years—and why AI is amplifying those same mistakes at unprecedented speed. They discuss shadow AI, insecure defaults, “vibe coding,” privacy risks, and the growing need for practical AI governance. Drawing on decades of experience across industry and government, Scott shares why fundamentals still matter, how organizations can bring order to AI chaos, and what leaders need to understand before adopting AI at scale.
A thoughtful, wide-ranging episode for CISOs, vCISOs, board advisors, and executives trying to understand where cyber risk ends and AI governance begins—and why fundamentals still matter more than ever.
