Proactive AI Security for CISOs with David Linthicum

AI isn’t just a productivity tool — it’s a brand-new attack surface. 

In this ClearTech Loop episode, Jo Peterson sits down with David Linthicum — cloud pioneer, five-time best-selling author, and leading voice on cloud and AI strategy. 

David shares a practical roadmap for CISOs facing the reality of AI adoption: 

Weaponize AI for Good: Use generative AI to simulate attacks on your own systems. Find the gaps before adversaries do. 

Shift Security Left: Bake privacy and security into the first 20% of your AI/ML pipeline, not the last. 

Rethink Incident Response: Static PDFs don’t cut it. Build AI-driven playbooks that adapt to your live environment. 

Close the Governance Gap: Break down silos between DevOps and security. Shared responsibility doesn’t mean shared blame. 

If you’ve been wondering how to hack yourself before the hackers do, govern AI adoption without slowing innovation, or stop incident response chaos before it starts, this is your episode.
