ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Human-Centered Cybersecurity and AI Enablement with CISO advisor, Javvad Malik

Work Reborn research shows leaders are investing in AI, but human friction remains one of the biggest blockers to progress. So how do you reduce it without sacrificing security?

We sit down with CISO advisor Javvad Malik to explore how cybersecurity, behavior, and AI intersect inside today’s workplace. Javvad explains why secure systems only work when they support people’s natural workflows, how automation reduces cognitive overload, and how internal AI communities help teams experiment safely.

He also dives into why patching is one of the most disruptive parts of IT operations, why leaders should prioritize reducing user friction, and how AI can strengthen teams when adopted thoughtfully.

If you’re shaping the future of work, this episode offers a grounded look at human-led cybersecurity in an AI-enabled environment.

🎧 Tune in to the full conversation for more insights from leaders rethinking the digital workplace.
