How to Attain Zero Trust - Rob Allen - BSW #366

The zero-trust security model has been billed as an ultra-safe defense against emerging, unrecognized and well-known threats. Unlike perimeter security, it doesn't assume people inside an organization are automatically safe. Instead, it requires every user and device -- inside and out -- to be authorized before any access is granted. Sounds enticing, but deployments require major architectural, hardware, and software changes to be successful. Rob Allen, Chief Performance Officer at ThreatLocker, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how their Zero Trust Endpoint Protection Platform can start to help you attain Zero Trust from your endpoints by: Blocking Untrusted Software, Ringfencing™ Applications, and Dynamically Controlling Network Traffic This segment is sponsored by ThreatLocker.

Solving the Cybersecurity Data Problem - Padraic O'Reilly - BSW #364

Cybersecurity is complex. We have threats, vulnerabilities, incidents, controls, risks, etc. But how do they all connect together to drive a cyber risk program? As an industry, we've struggled for 20+ years trying to boil this ocean. Maybe we've been going about it the wrong way. Padraic O'Reilly, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at CyberSaint, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how AI can help us solve the cybersecurity data problem. Starting with simple mappings from risks to controls, CyberSaint is flipping the cyber risk management problem on it's head. Instead of working from the bottom up, CyberSaint is tackling the problem from the top down. Padraic will discuss how CyberSaint is using AI, practical AI, to address the complexities of cybersecurity data, including: the use of Watsonx to generate their new KnightVision report how to use graphical node networks to model cybersecurity data the future of AI models to prioritize recommendations from all the data This segment is sponsored by CyberSaint .

The Changing Risk Landscape: CISO Liability - Darren Shou - BSW #362

How are personal liability and indemnification impacting the CISO role? Darren Shou, Chief Strategy Officer from RSA Conference, describes the current landscape of CISO liability and the challenges facing CISOs today. He discusses the implications of the SEC's recent actions, including the charges against SolarWinds' CISO, and the growing trend of personal liability for security leaders. Darren will also highlight comparisons between the roles of CISOs and CFOs, highlighting what security professionals can learn from their financial counterparts in handling risks and responsibilities. Finally, he explores how to build an effective coalition, both internally with company executives and externally with peers. In this ever changing risk landscape, it takes a village, and Darren shares his vision for how to build that village. This week we talk a lot about the CISO's relationship with the business and the challenges of being aligned and keeping up. We also talk about budget priorities, the challenge of doing security in small businesses, and the ever-present challenge of burnout. Finally, we discuss what servant leadership actually means. On this last topic, Ben makes a book recommendation, which you can find here: https://www.amazon.com/Seat-Table-Leadership-Age-Agility/dp/1942788118 Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/bsw for all the latest episodes!

Why Cyber Resilience Matters - Andrew Harding, Theresa Lanowitz - BSW #361

What are the barriers to cyber resilience today? Why is it so difficult? And what is coming next, that will generate resilience challenges further down the line? After five years of focusing on the short- and medium-term future of cybersecurity and edge, this year, LevelBlue wanted to understand what is preventing cyber resilience—and what business leaders are doing about it. Theresa Lanowitz, Chief Evangelist at LevelBlue, joins us to discuss the results of their research. Segment Resources: LevelBlue.com/futuresreport This segment is sponsored by LevelBlue. Visit https://securityweekly.com/levelblue to learn more about them! While CISOs are often responsible for technology implementation, they are not getting the support they need at a strategic level. The Accelerator found that 73% of CISOs expressed concern over cybersecurity becoming unwieldy, requiring risk-laden tradeoffs, compared to only 58% of both CIOs and CTOs. Understanding the C-suite’s business priorities is critical for shaping effective cybersecurity strategies. Identifying how these essential roles look at the business helps to ensure alignment among CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs, as well as the teams that report into them. It’s a key first step towards bolstering cyber defenses, especially with the CEO and Board support. This segment is sponsored by LevelBlue. Visit https://securityweekly.com/levelbluebh to learn more about cyber resilience and how to start the conversation in your organization! Employees spend up to 80% of their working hours in a web browser, and threat actors are increasingly leveraging browsers to target users and initiate attacks. Disrupting the tool employees use for 80% of their job would have massive impact on productivity. Rather than ripping and replacing, enterprises can turn any browser into a secure enterprise browser.
