ByKayneCybersecurity failures were definitely in the news in 2024, but the year’s most serious issue — the outage at security vendor CrowdStrike, which affected millions of Windows systems around the world — wasn’t the result of a intentional attack, notes Kayne McGladrey, Field CISO at Hyperproof and senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). It was caused by a flaw in an update of the CrowdStrike software. Yet it cost a wide range of companies, including airlines, public transit, healthcare and financial services, an estimated $5.4 billion.
The Phishing Phenomenon: How To Keep Your Head Above Water
ByKaynePhishing is the lowest cost way for a threat actor to gain access to an organization’s network and assets, according to Kayne McGladrey, an IEEE member and director of Security and IT at Pensar Development. “While it might be fashionable to worry about the latest zero-day, or shadowy nation-state threat actors developing crippling remote exploits, the fact is that it’s cheaper to ask users for their passwords.”
The fact that nearly a billion people had their personal information exposed in November 2018 “has further helped threat actors to develop more compelling and targeted phishing content,’’ McGladrey adds.
Risk Recalibrated – Aligning Cybersecurity with Business Reality
ByKayneToday’s cybersecurity landscape has reached a critical inflection point. Cyber Risk programs that focus on isolated technical flaws do not adequately protect businesses against today’s complex threats. Treating cyber threats as business risks—measured by impact on revenue, regulatory exposure, and operational continuity—creates a decision framework that executives can act on. This shift moves security from a compliance checkbox to a strategic lever that influences budget allocation and risk appetite.
The Cyber Security Recruiter talks to Kayne McGladrey, field CISO at Hyperproof
ByKayneIn the latest episode of The Cyber Security Recruiter podcast, I had an in-depth conversation with Thomas Richard about my 25-year journey in cybersecurity. From my unlikely beginnings in theater arts to my current role as the field CISO at Hyperproof, this conversation covers a wide array of subjects. We delve into the importance of implementing effective security controls and critique the industry’s heavy reliance on certifications. Thomas and I agree that while certifications can serve as useful benchmarks, their increasing prominence risks creating an exclusionary environment that could perpetuate a perceived “skills gap.” The episode covers not just technical matters but also broader philosophies and strategies that are essential for building a resilient cybersecurity posture
What you need to land a six-figure cybersecurity job
ByKayne“Cybersecurity remains a clear path to a middle-class salary for people with a two-year degree, a relevant certification to overcome gatekeeping by HR departments, a desire to help protect one’s friends and community, and a willingness to continuously learn as part of a team,” he tells Fortune.
The future of enterprise IoT
