Please join us on Friday May 8, 2026 for Super Cyber Friday.

Our topic of discussion will be “Hacking the End of Compliance: An hour of critical thinking about the security benefits of moving toward continuous monitoring”

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

Roland Cloutier, former Global CSO TikTok & ByteDance, ADP, and EMC

In preparation for our discussion, think about the following:

What's the difference between being compliant and being defensible?

When the rate of change in your environment outpaces your audit cycle, is manual compliance still measuring anything real?

Is "continuous compliance" actually a new concept, or have we just finally built the technology to do what compliance was always supposed to do?

What does it mean to reframe compliance as an automated output rather than a goal? And what does that change about how security teams spend their time?

When you shift from point-in-time audits to continuous controls monitoring, what does that free your team up to actually do?

If you can click a button and show PCI readiness at any moment, what happens to the compliance industry built around six months of prep work?

Why do you think we’re not seeing great adoption of continuous monitoring? Is it a resources problem, a fear problem, or a leadership problem?

What does "third-party risk" look like when you stop thinking in terms of vendors and start thinking in terms of authoritative operating zones you're responsible for monitoring?

How do you define the boundaries of what you own, what you monitor, and where your authority to operate actually ends?

What are the building blocks — people, process, and technology — that you actually need in place before continuous monitoring stops being a concept and starts being a reality?

When you have on-demand evidentiary availability, how does that change your security posture?

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.
