Navigating change as a leader is tough, especially when those changes reconfigure organizational structures or reshuffle management. In the latest collection of articles for Security Management (ASIS International), security leaders and SMEs weigh in about how to strike the right balance when meeting resistance, navigating new partnerships, and communicating the ongoing value of security. Many thanks to contributors William MacMillan, Richard Widup, Rachel Briggs OBE, Rachael Z, Mohammed Atif Shehzad, and more. https://lnkd.in/etHBD3Qg

When I speak about Controlled Unclassified Information ("CUI") and the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration's #CUI program, I am often asked how government contractors should handle various scenarios. My most frequent responses tend to focus on ensuring you have laid a strong foundation early in your relationship with your prime contractor or the government, and ensuring you have certain basic business practices in place. To help contractors get a better sense for what to do, Fathom Cyber has published a set of CUI Tips and Tricks. They are available from our website by visiting: https://lnkd.in/ewfcTGXc

**Cybersecurity Testing: The New Frontier in Accreditation** As cyber threats evolve, so does the need for accredited cybersecurity testing laboratories. IAS is strengthening assessor expertise in this critical emerging sector—because your organization's digital security depends on laboratories you can trust. **Why cybersecurity lab accreditation matters:** Testing labs validate everything from network security protocols to IoT device vulnerabilities. Without proper accreditation, how do you know their results are reliable? IAS accreditation ensures cybersecurity testing labs meet rigorous international standards—proper methodologies, validated equipment, competent personnel, and traceable results. **Our focus areas:** • Network penetration testing labs • IoT security assessment facilities • Cryptographic testing laboratories • Security software validation centers The digital landscape is complex. Your testing partners shouldn't add uncertainty. Is your cybersecurity testing lab accredited? Let's discuss how IAS can support your credibility in this high-stakes sector. #Cybersecurity #TestingLaboratories #ISO17025 #DigitalSecurity #Accreditation #ConformityAssessment

"New York State Artificial Intelligence Governance", published now in April 2025 by the Office of the New York City Comptroller. 👇 This audit finds that New York State’s centralized guidance and oversight for #AI use across state agencies are inadequate. The document evaluates how agencies such as the New York State Office for the Aging, the NYS Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, and the New York State Department of Transportation manage #AI, revealing a patchwork of approaches. It recommends that the NYS Office of Information Technology Services enhance its #AI #policy, provide agency-specific guidance and training, establish robust #AIgovernance structures, and ensure coordination (specifically advising the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles to review its #facialrecognition system for #compliance with state standards).
