·34 min·2 clips

Modern GRC now centers on resilience, litigation, fines, and board-level dashboards.

1. CISSP Cyber Training Podcast episode CCT 326 centers on Anthropic Claude Code Security and five high-income skills paired with the CISSP. 2. Sean Gerber hosts the episode and speaks as a CISSP trainer and cybersecurity practitioner. 3. The episode asks how CISSP holders can use AI-era specialties to raise income and stay relevant. 4. Gerber says Anthropic’s Claude Code Security is designed to detect and fix code bugs by reasoning about logic and data flows. 5. He contrasts that approach with traditional scanners, false positives, and cascading vulnerabilities that human reviewers often have to chase. 6. He ties the AI discussion to CISSP Domain 8, DevSecOps, static application security testing, and dynamic application security testing. 7. Gerber argues that defenders must use AI because attackers are already using AI in many ways. 8. Modern GRC is the first skill he highlights, and he links it to regulatory enforcement, litigation, fines, and resilience. 9. He says virtual CISO work can command hourly rates of $300 to $400. 10. Cloud security architecture is the second skill, and he describes Terraform and Terragrunt as examples of software-defined security. 11. Gerber also names configuration drift, automated guardrails, and the shared responsibility boundary between companies and providers like AWS and Azure. 12. AI ethics and governance is the third skill, with a focus on shadow AI, prompt injection tests, DLP policies, and auditing training data for PII. 13. He calls AI governance an unofficial ninth domain because AI now touches content, thumbnails, and security workflows. 14. Advanced IAM is the fourth skill, and he says identity is the perimeter in remote work environments. 15. He points to machine identity, secret sprawl, zero trust, passwordless and FIDO2 authentication, and overprivileged machine accounts. 16. Software supply chain security is the fifth skill, with SBOM mandates, upstream attacks on libraries, and DevSecOps pipeline gates. 17. The episode’s tone is instructional and personal, with Gerber mixing salary data, job examples, and his own experience as a former CISO. 18. The format is a solo teaching episode that moves from article commentary into a career roadmap. 19. Listeners focused on CISSP career growth, cloud, or GRC will likely benefit most. 20. Listeners wanting a short, purely technical walkthrough may skip it.
