Please join us on Friday July 17, 2026 for Super Cyber Friday.

Our topic of discussion will be “Hacking the Shift in Security Work in the Last Five Years: An hour of critical thinking about how AI, work from home, and organizational structure have changed. ”

Joining David Spark, producer of CISO Series for this discussion will be:

Nick Espinosa, host, Deep Dive Radio Show

In preparation for our discussion, think about the following:

Which security controls that made sense in an office never got redesigned for home networks, and are we still running them out of habit?

Return-to-office mandates get framed as culture or productivity decisions. How much of the real motivation is security teams wanting eyes back on people they can't monitor at home?

When the office disappeared, so did a lot of implicit trust — badge access, being seen at your desk. What replaced that trust, and is it better or just more surveillance?

Tier-one SOC analyst roles are disappearing into AI triage. Where does someone learn the job now, if the job that used to teach it doesn't exist anymore?

Is the promise that AI frees analysts for higher-value work true anywhere you can point to, or is it something everyone repeats because it sounds right?

Security teams used to sit apart from engineering. Now security responsibilities get pushed into developer and platform teams under "shift left." Did the risk move with the responsibility, or just the paperwork?

AI, remote work, and flatter org charts all happened at once. How much of what we call "AI transformation" is headcount reduction that started with remote work and just found a new excuse?

If you rebuilt your security org from nothing today, would it look like what you have now, or did the last five years of change happen to you rather than get chosen by you?

What skill did your team lose in the last five years that nobody noticed was gone until it was needed?

It all starts at 1 PM Eastern/10 AM Pacific. At the end of the hour [2 PM Eastern/11 AM Pacific] we'll switch gears to our meetup where everyone will get a chance to chat face to face.

We play games during the show, and some players can win prizes! Players in the US can receive prizes as gifts; those outside the US can win gift cards.

Super Cyber Fridays are open discussions where all viewers and listeners are welcome to become participants. Before the scheduled event, connect your webcam and microphone (avoid Bluetooth). During the discussion, if you have a question or comment, let it be known in the chat room and our producer will do his best to get as many of you into the conversation. We look forward to you joining us
