Five Over the Speed Limit: Who Actually Owns AI and Cyber Risk?
Chad Lorenc · Global CSO & Board Director, Security Practice Manager, AWS
When the CTO, the CIO, and the CISO disagree in the same room, the winner is the one tied to business outcomes, not the one who is right. This conversation gets into why the safest security leader is the one willing to take a calculated risk rather than the one who always says no, what shadow IT and cloud migration broke between the CIO and the CTO that never got fixed, whether the chief AI officer owns everything or nothing, why nobody will ever buy least privilege, and why transparency has to come before policy.
The Premise
Cyber risk is easier to surface than it is to resolve.
Security teams are not short on findings. The harder question is how those findings become decisions the business can act on.
The Blind Spot is about the operating reality behind cybersecurity: the judgment calls, incentives, translation gaps, and remediation work that determine whether risk actually changes.
Who It Is For
Built for people who turn cyber risk into business decisions.
The Blind Spot is for security, technology, risk, compliance, and business leaders working where cybersecurity affects budget, customers, operations, audits, and growth.
The conversations focus on practical patterns, judgment calls, and lessons from the work of moving risk toward action.
What We Talk About
Questions between risk and remediation.
- Turning findings into decisions, owners, and funded work
- Translating cyber risk for executives, boards, insurers, and auditors
- Separating security optics from security reality
- Proving whether controls work now, not just whether they exist
- Building AI governance around ownership, permissions, data, and accountability
- Making the secure path easier for fast-moving teams
Format
Topic-led conversations with people who have lived the tradeoffs.
Length
30 to 60 minutes
Host
Jason Lee
Guests include CISOs, operators, executives, board advisors, risk leaders, healthcare leaders, and AI governance practitioners. The goal is useful judgment: what a listener can bring back to their team, their board, or their next risk conversation.
Host
Hosted by Jason Lee.
Jason Lee is Managing Director at Z Cyber. For more than 20 years he's worked the part most people skip past: what happens after the risk is visible. His background runs across infrastructure, AI, and GRC, and the through-line is the same everywhere. Turning what a team finds into what the business actually does about it.
The Blind Spot gives Jason a place for the conversations he already has with security and business leaders: what the risk means, where responsibility sits, and what it takes to move from concern to action.
