SUMMARY:Webinar | The Customers of Security: Working Backwards and Speaking Their Language
DESCRIPTION:Digital transformation sprouted new relationships between the security teams and the stakeholders\, or the customers\, of security. In the new Decentralized Security model\, Security departments must transition from the “Department of No” to an enabler for teams seeking innovation. Application architects and developers have become the focal point of the transformation journey as the security champions for their workloads. Security teams need to work backwards from their customers while speaking the language of both executives and the developers—communicating not just through the published standards and remediation guides\, but through the risk-based Security Maturity Models aligned to the business outcomes. An upcoming webinar hosted by AWS\, a WiCyS Strategic Partner\, will delve into this crucial transition. \n  \nWiCyS is proud to provide members the opportunity to earn CPE/CEU credits for attending WiCyS Webinars live. To earn CPE/CEU credits with the following providers\, you must meet the minimum requirements: \n\nGIAC/(ISC)2: attend for a minimum of 45 minutes or the entirety of the webinar\nCompTIA: attend for a minimum of 60 minutes or the entirety of the webinar (webinar topic must relate to the certificate being renewed)\nAttendees who meet the requirements can log into BrightTALK to print out their attendance certificates to submit for CPE/CEU credits.\n\n  \nRegister for this webinar and view the recording if you are unable to join live.

SUMMARY:WiCyS April Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Atlas of AI: Power\, Politics\, and the Planetary Costs of Artificial Intelligence\nby Kate Crawford \nWhat happens when artificial intelligence saturates political life and depletes the planet? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? Drawing on more than a decade of research\, award‑winning scholar Kate Crawford reveals how AI is a technology of extraction: from the minerals drawn from the earth to the labor pulled from low-wage information workers to the data taken from every action and expression. \nCrawford reveals how this planetary network is fueling a shift toward undemocratic governance and increased inequity. Rather than taking a narrow focus on code and algorithms\, Crawford offers us a material and political perspective on what it takes to make AI and how it centralizes power. This is an urgent account of what is at stake as technology companies use artificial intelligence to reshape the world. \nRegister HERE
