Cybersecurity Month Starts With SOC Readiness
Before adopting agentic AI, leaders should ask whether their security operations center has the foundation to support it. Info-Tech’s “Get Ready for Augmented Security Operations” guide helps assess readiness across four domains: data quality, logic determinism, workflow readiness, and governance maturity. This 27-page guide helps shift the discussion from vendor promises to measurable readiness.

Marko Chalupa’s review presents Governing AI Risk: The RIVER Charter as a board-level resilience field manual told through a 2038–2040 crisis narrative. Its RIVER framework treats AI risk as converged enterprise risk, backed by practical appendices and tools.
