CISO Conversations: Ryan Davis – The Unknown Is Where Security Meets Reality
Ryan Davis went from hacking his school’s network to running security at New Charter Technologies. What worries him now is shadow AI.
AI Summary
Ryan Davis began hacking his school’s network as a teenager, tinkering with six personal computers in his family home while his mother ran a secretarial college in the 1980s. Lacking internet, he learned through trial and error, later admitting he performed actions that would now be deemed illegal but without malicious intent, aiming only to push systems beyond their intended limits. He transitioned from that early hacking experience to become the chief information security officer at New Charter Technologies. Davis now says his greatest concern is “shadow AI,” a emerging threat he believes will shape future security challenges.
