SUMMARY:WiCyS February Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Book: Co-Intelligence – Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy by Cathy O’Neil \nWeapons of Math Destruction by Cathy O’Neil explores how big data and algorithms\, often seen as objective and fair\, can actually reinforce inequality and harm society. \nO’Neil argues that many of the mathematical models used to make important decisions—such as who gets hired\, approved for loans\, targeted by police\, or evaluated as a teacher—are opaque\, unregulated\, and built on flawed assumptions. Because these systems operate at massive scale and are difficult to challenge\, their mistakes disproportionately affect poor and marginalized communities while benefiting those already in power. \nThrough real-world examples\, the book shows how bias can be hidden behind numbers and labels like “efficiency” or “neutrality\,” ultimately threatening fairness and democracy. O’Neil calls for greater transparency\, accountability\, and ethical responsibility in how data-driven systems are designed and used. \nRegister HERE

SUMMARY:Cloud Security Alliance Summit 2026 at RSAC
DESCRIPTION:WiCyS is proud to partner with Cyber Security Alliance (CSA) for the in-person CSA Summit 2026 at RSAC. For 17 years\, the CSA Summit at RSAC Conference has been the stage where global security visionaries define what comes next. In 2026\, the pace of disruption is unprecedented—driven by generative and agentic AI\, intensifying regulatory pressure\, and the expanding complexity of cloud-first ecosystems. The CSA Summit invites leaders to confront this moment not with hesitation\, but with clarity and purpose. \nA central theme of this year’s program is the duality of AI: Securing AI and AI for Security. As AI becomes woven into every system\, workflow\, and decision\, security leaders must simultaneously protect AI technologies while also leveraging them as powerful force multipliers. 2026 will be the year of Securing the Agentic Control Plane. But AI is not the only dimension of the future of trust. Cloud assurance\, Zero Trust modernization\, digital sovereignty and the resilience of shared-responsibility architectures all play decisive roles in shaping what comes next. \n  \nFor more information and to register\, visit HERE \n**Attendance at the CSA Summit 2026 requires RSA Conference registration. Participants must have an RSA Expo Plus Pass or an All Access Pass. Discounted registration is available. Use code 16UCSAXPD for $250 off an Expo Plus Pass or code 52AAD1231 for $150 off an All Access Pass. \n  \nNote: The CSA Summit is not included with the Expo Pass.
