I had a tremendous time at the InCyber Montreal forum. The speakers, panels, fellow practitioners, and events were outstanding!
I bumped into Dan Lohrmann and Nancy Rainosek before their panel with Sue McCauley on CISO challenges. We had some very interesting discussions throughout the day. Always great to hang out with Dan and Nancy.
Then it was my turn on a panel, led by Nataliya Khylenko, discussing how to strike a balance when protecting data in the age of AI. Fellow panelists Sandra Estok, Tania Tanic, and Brandon Pugh were brilliant in providing diverse and relevant perspectives.
By the end of the day, I was able to spend some quality time with Diane M Janosek, Christophe Foulon, and Evgeniy Kharam.
One of my favorite talks was from the passionate Sumona Banerji, who discussed the evolving risks of child online grooming and victimization.
I also caught glimpses of Alexa Charles who leads the coordination of this massive event and keeps all us speakers happy! She is a true superstar!
The Gala Cocktail was spectacular. A local mariachi band, not what I expected in Montreal Canada, played lively tunes and the discussions were flowing among the cybersecurity professionals!
Last but not least Vincent Riou and Shigeru Kitamura, former National Security Advisor of Japan, announced an expansion of the InCyber events to include San Antonio and Japan for 2025!
I am looking forward to both next year!

Securing large language models (LLMs) presents unique challenges due to their complexity, scale, and data interactions. Before we dive into securing them, let’s touch on the basics.
Securing LLMs is critical as they are trained on massive datasets that contain sensitive information. Protecting LLMs from unauthorized access or misuse is vital.
The Thales Solution for LLM SecurityCipherTrust Transparent Encryption (CTE), is part of the CipherTrust Data Security Platform (CDSP) which delivers data-at-rest encryption with centralized key management, privileged user access control and detailed data access audit logging. Protecting data wherever it resides, on-premises, across multiple clouds and within big data, and Kubernetes environments. The deployment is simple, scalable, and fast, with agents installed at operating, filesystem or device layer, and encryption and decryption are transparent to all applications that run above it. CipherTrust Transparent Encryption is designed to meet data security compliance and best practice requirements with minimal disruption, effort, and cost. Implementation is seamless keeping both business and operational processes working without changes even during deployment and roll out. The solution works in conjunction with the FIPS 140-2 up to Level 3 compliant CipherTrust Manager, which centralizes encryption key and policy management for CDSP.
Benefits of CipherTrust Transparent EncryptionSimplified Management: CipherTrust Manager provides a unified management console that enables you to discover and classify sensitive data and protect data using integrated Thales Data Protection Connectors across on-premises data stores and multi-cloud deployments. It offers advanced self-service licensing for improved visibility and control of licenses.
Cloud-friendly Deployment: CipherTrust Manager offers users additional hosting options, and can run as a native virtual machine on AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, VMware, Microsoft HyperV and more. Additionally, native support for CipherTrust Cloud Key Management is available on CipherTrust Manager to streamline key management across multiple cloud infrastructures and SaaS applications.
Flexible Form Factors:CipherTrust Manager is available in both virtual and physical form factors. Flexible deployment options can easily scale to provide key management at remote facilities or in cloud infrastructures. CipherTrust Manager supports managing keys in the FIPS 140 L3 boundary of Luna Network HSM.
Protect LLMs with Thales
To Protect LLMs, the Thales CipherTrust Data Security Platform with Transparent Encryption is used, whereas enterprises can leverage Thales’ advanced data protection features within the CipherTrust platform. Thales is a trusted brand in the LLM Security Industry. View our comprehensive White Paper for information on LLM Security. We'll continue to innovate with LLM Security and continue publishing updates in future articles.

Valid card data is highly sought-after on the cybercrime underground. In fact, it’s helping to drive a global epidemic in payment fraud predicted to reach $40bn by 2026. In a bid to stem losses, the card industry created the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) over two decades ago. No organization that processes, transmits or stores card data can afford to ignore it. Yet compliance can be onerous.

As organizations prioritize IT security and efficiency, the concept of "shifting left" has gained momentum across both security and service management. Traditionally, many IT security and IT Service Management (ITSM) practices have focused on reactive measures—identifying and remediating issues after they arise post-event. However, with the rapid shift toward DevSecOps and a need for proactive protection and resiliency in a complex threat landscape, the "shift left" paradigm is empowering teams to address security and compliance from the beginning of the software development and operations cycle.
