"From a security perspective it has a lot to learn about trust. Or rather, we have a lot to learn on how to program it to trust.

At ISECOM we are spending a lot of effort on how we can make security tests for AI and learning how it fits into the OSSTMM framework as a new channel alongside Data Networks, Wireless, Physical, Human, Telecommunications, and Applications."

ISECOM is a non-profit, open source research organization that maintains the Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual, Hacker Highschool and a security certification authority, all the while operating as a specialty security boutique for securing iconic places that can't be secured with traditional security products.

"We jumped full in, no money, and had to find customers from day one. And let me tell you, keeping the connoisseurs of FOSS as happy as the veterans of military-grade security is a balancing act that nobody will get right all of the time," he explained the challenges they faced.

In the last decade or so, Herzog also worked in parallel as a security analyst, writer, advisor or CISO with some well and lesser known security companies.

"People are our assets, not our security. The truth is that there is nothing that can't be made more secure by removing the person from the process, so plan for them not being a link in your security chain and you'll be more secure," he concluded.
