Ex-Google CISO Phil Venables: AI-era CISO tools must deliver insight, not just dashboards
philvenables · x · 2026-10-18
- Phil Venables (ex-Google CISO) argues new AI-powered tools for CISOs vary wildly: some designed ground-up, others legacy GRC tools with AI sprinkled on top — sometimes magnifying the original tool's flaws.
- Large-organization CISOs don't sit in dashboards all day; their role spans projects, relationships, and influence. What they need are curated insights, not raw data.
- Jack-of-all-trades tools suit small teams, but scaling them for Fortune 100-style organizations fails. Next-gen tooling should deliver profound strategic insight over vanilla dashboards.
