A new cybersecurity initiative in Hawaiʻi is giving small businesses something many can’t usually afford: expert security guidance at no cost. The program aims to help entrepreneurs identify digital risks, assess vulnerabilities, and strengthen defenses before attackers exploit weaknesses. What Happened With UHMC Cybersecurity Clinic for Small Businesses The University of Hawaiʻi Maui College (UHMC) announced a free online cybersecurity clinic session titled “Cybersecurity Risk Management and Vulnerability Assessments for Small Businesses.” The event is scheduled for March 18, 2026, from 12–1 p.m. HST via Zoom.

BISO – The Operational Bridge Between Cybersecurity and Business Lines

What Happened With the BISO Role The Business Information Security Officer (BISO) has emerged as a key cybersecurity role designed to close the gap between technical security teams and business operations. Instead of working purely within IT or security departments, a BISO is embedded directly within specific business units, helping those teams integrate cybersecurity into daily operations. Traditionally, companies relied heavily on a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to oversee security strategy across the entire organization. However, as businesses became more digital and complex, a single centralized role often struggled to address the unique security needs of individual departments. The BISO concept solves this by acting as a local extension of the CISO, working closely with operational teams while still aligning with the organization’s broader security policies. In practice, this means the BISO is responsible for ensuring that cybersecurity requirements make sense for the specific environment where the business actually operates — whether that’s energy infrastructure, cloud services, manufacturing systems, or smart buildings. Who the BISO Role Affects The BISO role primarily affects large enterprises and organizations with multiple business units, such as energy companies, utilities, financial institutions, or multinational technology firms. Because these organizations operate across many departments, each unit faces different cyber risks and regulatory requirements. The BISO helps tailor security strategies to those realities. Typical stakeholders who interact with a BISO include:…
