In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Veysel Erdag, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. 

Dr. Erdag shares his career journey to the CISO role—whether it was a long-term goal or an opportunity that evolved.  We dive into how CISOs should respond when critical vulnerabilities emerge, including real-world guidance on reacting to high-impact exploits like unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) CVEs.

The conversation also explores how the rise of large language models (LLMs) is reshaping security risk, where organizations are most underprepared, and whether AI training for staff and students can meaningfully reduce exposure. Dr.A must-listen for security leaders, IT professionals, and anyone preparing for the next generation of cyber risk.Next Step Innovation is a technology company that partners with clients to help them forecast needs, streamline operations, and implement solutions.
