Jamie Whynacht shared thisGreat read with practical advice from someone who has been “in the trenches and took the hill”. George A.Jamie Whynacht shared thisI wrote down what I've learned about standing up AI governance that actually holds, not the PowerPoint kind. Six months to a defensible V1.0 Governance Framework. What it looks like at enterprise scale and at thirty-person-startup scale, because the principles don't change when the budget does. Governance, data security, infrastructure, monitoring, talent. No fluff, no vendor talking points, no pretending agentic AI is anything but what it is right now. Written for the working CISO/CIO/CTO, founder, and board director currently staring at a sixty-slide deck trying to figure out how much of it is real. If you disagree with any of it, find me. #ai #cyber #governance #data #digitaltransformationThe Working CISO's Guide to Secure AI Enterprise Governance and Implementations: Lessons Learned From a Career of Drinking From the FirehoseThe Working CISO's Guide to Secure AI Enterprise Governance and Implementations: Lessons Learned From a Career of Drinking From the Firehose

Jamie Whynacht reposted thisJamie Whynacht reposted this🎉 🗓️ 🥂 Happy New Year's Eve! 🥂 🗓️ 🎉 ❄️ It's that time of year again for SecurityScorecard 2026 predictions. ✨ 👨💼 CEO and co-founder of SecurityScorecard Dr. Aleksandr Yampolskiy shares his predictions for how CEOs will rethink supply chain cybersecurity in 2026. We have seen supply chain breaches take over the headlines and cyber risk is becoming more than just a TPRM & IT issue and is becoming a bigger boardroom issue. 📊 2026 will be the year of evolving security conversations beyond the IT desk and into the C-suite. As AI also continues to evolve, AI will have a deep impact on cybersecurity on both ends from a hacker enablement and data breaches standpoint to data protection and TPRM automation point of view. A few of Dr. Yampolskiy's predictions: 🔮 Executive KPIs tied to supplier exposure 🔮 CEO compensation tied to cybersecurity hygiene and posture 🔮 Proliferation of shadow AI 🔮 CISOs requiring rapid incident transparency 🔮 Hackers leveraging AI to quickly generate exploits 👉 📺 Check out the full breakdown of Dr. Yampolskiy and learn what he looks forward to on the holiday dining table on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/ehZ-UZrh #CISO #cybersecurity #vendorriskmanagement #supplychain #TPRM #articialintelligence #adersarialai

Jamie Whynacht reacted on thisJamie Whynacht reacted on thisI’m excited to share that I’ll be taking on a 50% secondment from Holland College’s Computer Networking Technology program to serve as the Subject Matter Expert helping develop the curriculum for our new Cybersecurity Post-Diploma Program, planned to welcome its first students in September 2027. I’m looking forward to diving deeper into emerging cybersecurity trends, working with industry to identify the skills employers need, and helping build relevant, hands-on curriculum for this rapidly evolving field. I’m very excited to see where this new project takes us—and there’s certainly no shortage of new material to explore in cybersecurity!

Jamie Whynacht reacted on thisJamie Whynacht reacted on thisMy summer was bookends of one of the coldest F1 races in history, in Montreal, and one of the hottest, in Austria. You might not have heard from me much, but not because of my travels. Not pictured, me sitting in front of my computer for hours on end, collaborating and learning from brilliant minds in the fields of knowledge graphs, deterministic math, and keeping up with the latest in the field of AI. While both the F1 and Computer Science pursuits have been incredibly rewarding, I think I need to get back to work! As the leaves turn this fall, Abliminal will be releasing new technology: bringing better value logic to tech M&A. Being a topic I'm particularly passionate about, I'll be closely involved with more details on that to come. I'm looking forward to reconnecting.

Jamie Whynacht reacted on thisJamie Whynacht reacted on thisAfter many years in Prince Edward Island, I’ve made the move to Toronto. New city. New chapter. And a good time to reconnect. I’ve had a career that has taken me through some very different worlds — hospitality, international operations, teaching, post-secondary leadership — and I’m now thinking carefully about where I’d like to bring that experience next. I’m interested in leadership opportunities where I can help organizations navigate complexity, bring people and priorities together, improve how things work, and turn good ideas into practical action. I’m especially drawn to post-secondary education, arts and culture, public service, foundations, community organizations, and other places doing work with a clear sense of purpose. But this post isn’t only about finding the next role. It’s also about getting out into a new city, meeting people, learning more about what’s happening here, and building a network in a place I’m excited to now call home. So if we’ve crossed paths somewhere along the way, if my background makes you think of someone I should meet, or if you’re doing interesting work in Toronto and would be up for a coffee, I’d love to connect. I’m new to the city. I’m curious about what’s happening here. And I’m looking forward to seeing where the next conversation leads.

Jamie Whynacht reacted on thisJamie Whynacht reacted on thisI'm honored to share that I've been named the 2026 ORBIE Toronto Corporate CISO Award winner. 🏆 This one means a lot, and I want to make sure the credit goes where it's due. First, to my InfoSec team — this award is as much yours as it is mine. Every program, every late night, every "we caught it before it became a problem" moment is because of the work you do every day. Thank you for trusting me to lead and for making me look good in the process. To our C&R Software executive leadership — thank you for backing security as a priority, not an afterthought, and for giving this program the support it needed to actually work. A special thank you to Umar Hossain for nominating me. Nominations like this don't happen without someone taking the time to put your name forward, and I'm grateful you did. It was also a genuinely full-circle moment to receive this award from Octavia N. Howell, who I had the pleasure of working with at a previous organization. Congratulations are also very much in order for Brent Fowles, another former colleague, who took home the CISO award in his category — well earned. I also want to thank Terri Johnson, who runs the TorontoCISO Chapter at Inspire Leadership Network, for the incredible work she and her team put into making this program and event what it is. Grateful, humbled, and looking forward to keeping building. 🙏 #ORBIEAwards #CISO #Cybersecurity #Leadership
