Texas businesses must comply with SB 2610 cybersecurity framework by Sep 1. Learn how at Shields Legal webinar.

Texas leaders — big news. As of September 1, Texas’ new AI & Cybersecurity law (SB 2610) is in effect — and it will hold businesses accountable for how they use AI and manage cybersecurity. Why does this matter? Because the risks aren’t just technical. Without the right policies in place, businesses now face legal exposure, financial penalties, and reputational damage. That’s why Shields Legal Group is hosting a free webinar on Sept 10 at 2 p.m. CT: “Building Secure AI & Cyber Policies That Work in Texas” 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/gibwkQGT

AI risk is moving to the forefront of corporate disclosures. This year, 76% of S&P 500 companies added or expanded descriptions of AI as a material risk in their 2025 annual disclosure filings, Autonomy Institute AI risk disclosure report. Goodwin partner Kaitlin Betancourt spoke with The Cybersecurity Law Report on the top concerns—cyber threats, governance, and the infrastructure needed to support disclosure statements.

AI is not one arms race, but two. It's a competitive race among business, and a race of good versus evil...take a moment to review the Cybersecurity Law Report's "Unpacking the AI Risks Disclosed in 2025 SEC Filings" in which I weigh in on the top #AI concerns disclosed: #cyber threats, competitive disruption, bias, and data leakage. With 10-K review season around the corner, check out this article to get a head start.

Recent data reveals that human error is the leading cause of cybersecurity breaches, with 89% of businesses identifying it as their primary security challenge. ([itpro.com](https://lnkd.in/gpKsN5Mt)) This underscores the critical need for organizations, especially small businesses and healthcare providers, to prioritize comprehensive employee training and robust security protocols. The rise of sophisticated attacks, including those leveraging generative AI and social engineering, has made traditional defenses insufficient. Without proper training, employees may inadvertently become entry points for cyber threats, jeopardizing sensitive data and patient information. For healthcare organizations, this is particularly concerning, as breaches can lead to severe HIPAA violations and compromise patient trust. To mitigate these risks, it's essential to implement regular, tailored cybersecurity training programs that include simulations of phishing attacks and other common threats. Additionally, enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA) across all systems adds a crucial layer of security, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data.

Cybersecurity may be the area where the bad sides of AI are already having the biggest impact. In this month’s Connected magazine, I talk to Integrity360’s Richard Ford and Ecko’s Pat Larkin about why organisations need to up their game if they want to survive a huge spike in the volume of attacks. https://lnkd.in/dzuKkKgp

The creation of an AI proof of concept that can autonomously build and execute a ransomware attack from scratch shouldn’t alarm CISOs who are prepared, says an expert. The defense against such a proposed new tool, said Taylor Grossman, director for digital security at the Institute for Security and Technology (IST), is simple: “Boring cyber hygiene practices.” “Being aware of where things are going is certainly helpful,” she said, “but there’s so much to be done already and a lot of those defensive measures can also help some of this AI-enabled ransomware as well.” She was commenting on a furor raised last week when security researchers at New York University published an article claiming to have created a prototype of large language model (LLM)-orchestrated ransomware. https://lnkd.in/gVihT3tn

Ransomware locks you out. Extortionware locks you in fear. Because now it’s not just downtime, it’s your most sensitive data being weaponized. Backups can fix systems, but not reputations. That’s why CISOs are rethinking defenses. Let's hear Ahmad Fida Weldali insights on this.
