Our articles examine the new fee-based membership model of the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center® (MS-ISAC®) and how it fills the gap left by a reduction in federal funding; discuss how to master Implementation Group 1 (IG1) of the CIS Critical Security Controls (CIS Controls) as well as a new course from SANS covering IG1; outline several new and updated resources for the CIS Controls and CIS Benchmarks; explain how to secure leadership buy-in for security awareness programs; propose rethinking the software development lifecycle for AI products; and lay out practical steps on AI governance for leaders. You can check out these articles and much more in the full issue below!
