Radio interview on KRLD-AM
I’ll be on the air live, discussing cyber security with Chris Sommer of KRLD-AM in Dallas, TX today at 1 PM ET.
“On a related note, #ZeroTrust isn’t a sticker on your router or a #cybersecurity product that you buy. It’s a shift in architectural patterns that have to be supported by policies.”
Gartner estimates that 63% of all IAM products will be thrown out in the next two years as the ‘requirements have changed’ since the date of original purchase. The challenge for new and existing IAM programs is to establish and maintain a strong justification for the program’s continued existence. One retail client recognized this potential risk to their IAM program and took a novel approach to clearly illustrating the benefits of an IAM program.
As CISOs make plans to secure operating budgets for the new financial year, they face the age-old challenge of convincing stakeholders, who often see cybersecurity and privacy as a cost center, to invest in this area. It’s time to change the narrative. Discover how to drive more productive conversations about cybersecurity as a strategic growth enabler. Take home actionable ideas for proactively managing controls and risks, increasing efficiency and reducing costs.
Learning Objectives:
Apply techniques and strategies needed to shift the perception of cybersecurity and privacy from cost centers to strategic growth enablers within the organization.
Employ methods for applying proactive control management and risk mitigation methods to enhance an organization’s cybersecurity posture and minimize potential threats.
Identify opportunities for efficiency gains and cost reductions in cybersecurity initiatives, in order to make impactful budgetary decisions for the coming year.
Kayne McGladrey, IEEE Senior Member, noted that the use of generative AI models in business hinges on their ability to provide accurate information. He cited as examples studies of AI models’ abilities to extract information from documents used for financial sector regulation that are frequently relied on to make investment decisions. “Right now, the best AI models get 80 percent of the questions right,” McGladrey said. “They hallucinate the other 20 percent of the time. That’s not a good sign if you think you are making investment decisions based on artificial intelligence telling you this is a great strategy four out of five times.”
Kayne and Tom talk about the System and Communications Protection family of FedRAMP Rev5 controls. Learn about the “catch all” approach to this control family and some challenges faced to implementation. Tom and Kayne try a stout for the first time on the show, and Kayne seems to group it with all the other beers. As always, the faces he makes are impressive.
