SUMMARY:WiCyS San Diego Affiliate | AI Under Scrutiny: Perspectives from Banking\, Higher Ed\, and Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Everyone is talking about AI. Join WiCyS San Diego for an honest discussion about what it looks like to use it and evaluate it from a security or compliance perspective. Environments where decisions have to hold up to audit\, data sensitivity\, and teams or customers that may not trust the tools yet. \nThree cybersecurity professionals from three different environments – banking/finance\, higher education\, and engineering – sit down for a moderated conversation about how AI shows up in their actual work. Every day. \nWhy this panel is different:\nModerator Melissa Huff will guide panelists Theresa Pon\, Jo Anna Parker Martin\, and Venus Liong through real workflows\, what works and what doesn’t\, and the unique challenges of their environments. We intend to explore AI bias and workplace constraints. The good and the bad. The final segment opens the floor to audience questions and comments. \nWho should attend:\nCybersecurity\, compliance\, privacy\, and risk professionals who want a grounded look at AI adoption from the people evaluating it inside real constraints\, not a product demo. \nWiCyS SD events are open to members and the broader San Diego cybersecurity community. Bring a question. You may end up with a workflow to try Monday morning! \nLearn more and register HERE Attendees will receive the location once they have registered.

SUMMARY:WiCyS San Diego Affiliate | Book Club
DESCRIPTION:The Book that will be featured is: Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman’s OpenAI \nKaren Hao started out trusting OpenAI’s mission\, but her reporting led her to a darker conclusion. Building powerful AI demands staggering resources\, from rare computing power and energy to exploited data laborers in the Global South\, leaving only a few giant companies able to compete at all. With Microsoft’s backing\, OpenAI has pushed forward at full speed without a clear destination\, even as Hao got close enough to the story to chronicle Altman’s ouster and return in full detail. \nHer book argues that the pressure of this race warps the judgment of everyone caught in it\, since people rarely see themselves as the villain. Drawing on voices from Silicon Valley to Kenyan data workers to Chilean water activists\, Empire of AI lays out both the scale of the industry’s ambition and the human cost behind it. \nLearn more and register HERE

SUMMARY:WiCyS San Diego Affiliate | Cyber Speaker Series - Cybersecurity Insurance: What You Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:Join the WiCyS San Diego Affiliate for a presentation by Kevin Rigney\, who will cover the industry’s history\, the coverage options available for today’s complex extended-tech enterprises\, and the considerations that may matter most before and during an incident. \nCyber insurance used to be a safety net; today\, it’s a stress test of whether your organization actually understands its own risk. Underwriters are no longer just selling policies; they’re interrogating your controls\, your identity architecture\, your incident response muscle\, even your board-level accountability. And here’s the uncomfortable truth: the gap between what companies think they’re protected against and what policies will actually cover in a modern ransomware or AI-enabled attack is widening fast. In this environment\, cyber insurance isn’t a backstop; it’s a forcing function that exposes weak assumptions\, rewards operational discipline\, and redefines what “insurable” security really means. From the days of 3-question surveys\, insurer and umbrella insurance coverage for cyber\, to on-site interviews\, actuarial analyses by industry\, policy premium coverage options/deductibles\, and heavily scrutinized claims\, the cyber insurance industry has expanded exponentially over the last 20 years. \nLearn more and register HERE

SUMMARY:WiCyS San Diego Affiliate | Book club meet-up and discussion: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography.
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our very first in-person book club meetup\, as we dive into the fascinating world of cryptography through the pages of The Code Book by Simon Singh. This book takes us on a historical journey of secret codes\, starting in ancient times and leading up to modern quantum encryption. From Caesar Ciphers to World War II codebreakers to the future of cybersecurity\, the story connects deeply with the work we do and aspire to do in the cybersecurity field. \nWhy this book?\nAs stakeholders in cybersecurity\, understanding the roots and evolution of encryption is not only inspiring but essential.

SUMMARY:WiCyS San Diego Affiliate | Will you keep trash in your fridge? Learn 5S - A use case of Asset Management.
DESCRIPTION:This workshop event introduces a practical approach to asset management by integrating the principles of the 5S methodology—sort\, set in order\, shine\, standardize\, and sustain—that are commonly used in manufacturing into cybersecurity practices with empathy and respect for all parties involved. \nParticipants will explore how the 5S framework can help identify and categorize critical software and hardware assets\, ensuring that only necessary resources are maintained\, protected\, and optimized. By “sorting” and assessing assets\, organizations can eliminate obsolete or redundant systems\, reducing costs and minimizing potential attack surfaces. “Setting in order” and “shining” will involve organizing and maintaining essential assets to boost operational efficiency. “Standardizing” ensures consistent protection policies across all assets\, while “sustaining” involves ongoing monitoring and updates to keep the system secure. \n  \nPlease register HERE for this event
