Enforcing Unenforced Contracts: AI in Cyber with Combat Veteran Jax Scott
In this interview segment, combat veteran and reserve member Jax Scott discusses the practical challenges of moving cybersecurity controls from being merely recommended (unenforced contracts) to being formally enforced. He explains that organizations often avoid implementing NIST‑based controls and related certifications because they require additional work, money, and resources. Scott likens this reluctance to a toddler needing a law to be compelled to act. He also highlights how certain parts of the supply chain remain highly insecure, a concern he observes through his ongoing military experience. The conversation frames these enforcement issues within the broader context of AI‑driven cyber operations, suggesting that without proper enforcement, AI tools may be applied on shaky foundations.
