“At its core, information security has always been about protecting data: understanding what data exists, where it resides, who has access to it, and how it is shared.

AI has simply brought renewed focus and urgency to those principles,” according to Jeffrey Egel. “Security still begins and ends with the end user. AI is an amplifier — not a replacement — for strong foundational security practices.”

As Director of Information Security and Compliance for Telaid Industries, Inc., Egel is no stranger to the unique challenges of effective technology integration. With a 40-year history of serving enterprises facing complex integrations in a variety of sectors, including retail, QSR, financial services and logistics, Telaid is a technology-agnostic single provider of rapid deployments, cradle-to-grave technology solutions, wireless and physical security. Egel oversees the majority of Telaid's internal IT operations, with a particular focus on protecting both corporate and customer data. “Beyond technical safeguards, my role also involves governance, policy development, vendor oversight, and cultivating a security-first culture across the organization. Ultimately, my responsibility is to ensure that Telaid operates securely, ethically, and in a way that preserves the trust our customers place in us,” he recently told Reboot.
