 Igor Volovich, a cybersecurity expert affiliated with Qmulos, brings a unique perspective to the table regarding the importance of executive accountability and proactive risk governance in cybersecurity. Volovich emphasizes the crucial role that executives play in ensuring compliance, controls, and security posture decisions and criticizes the current model of firing and hiring Chief Information Security Officers as ineffective. He believes that risk governance should be a holistic business function rather than separate departments handling different types of risks, and he encourages boards of directors to question and challenge reports on compliance and risk posture. Drawing from his extensive experience and deep understanding of the field, Volovich advocates for a real-time convergence of compliance, security, and risk management.  

The SEC's new cyber reporting requirements are forcing organizations to rethink their compliance and risk programs.  No longer can compliance and risk be static, point in time assessments.  Instead they need to match the speed of security which is dynamic and real-time.  Couple the difference in speeds with whistleblowers and attack groups reporting non-compliance with the new SEC rules and organizations find themselves in a regulatory nightmare.
