Three major legal changes. One question every CISO should be asking: Is your cybersecurity program ready?

Congress let a key FISA surveillance authority expire. The Supreme Court raised the bar on geofence warrants. The Department of Defense paused mandatory CMMC Level 2 certifications.

At first glance, these seem like unrelated legal headlines. In reality, they all point to the same challenge: cybersecurity leaders must understand how changing laws affect data access, privacy, compliance, and personal liability.

In this episode of CISO Tradecraft, host G. Mark Hardy sits down with attorney and cybersecurity expert Larry Dietz to break down what these legal developments actually mean for CISOs, not from a political perspective, but from a practical leadership perspective.

You'll learn:

  • Why the FISA Section 702 debate still matters to private-sector CISOs
  • How the Supreme Court's geofence warrant decision could impact data retention and privacy programs
  • What the CMMC certification delay really means for defense contractors
  • Why self-attestation can create legal risk
  • How GDPR principles can strengthen your cybersecurity governance
  • What every CISO should negotiate before accepting the top security job

If you're responsible for protecting data, managing compliance, or advising executive leadership, this episode will help you separate headlines from real business risk.

Subscribe for weekly insights that help cybersecurity leaders become more effective.
