I sat down with cybersecurity pioneer and distinguished professor of computer science at Purdue University, Gene Spafford @spaf -- who wrote the foreword to my book on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework -- to discuss why we need stalwart frameworks such as the NIST CSF more than ever in the AI era.

One fascinating point he made: AI isn't uncovering new vulnerabilities; it's exposing old ones, which Gene calls a form of willful tech debt.

Willful debt is the security investment an organization, mostly vendors, chose to skip, the same way you'd choose a new TV over paying the electric bill. AI just makes the consequences show up faster.
