Cybersecurity presentation to veterans in Seattle

According to IEEE Member and Integral Partners Director of Information Security Services, Kayne McGladrey, healthcare sectors embody “Lean IT” as they are not in the cybersecurity line of business.

“I hope that you want to create safe products that benefit individuals and society, that make life better.

That you want to reverse course, and can advocate for security in face of lean IT, DevOps, and less money and less time and less people.

IEEE code of ethics includes the phrase “disclose promptly factors that might endanger the public or the environment”.

Not as strong as language as the other code of ethics I’m bound to follow as a CISSP, to “protect society, the common good, necessary public trust and confidence, and the infrastructure”

Regardless of which code of ethics you’re following, we have responsibility to society to turn this around.”

Tom provides an update on the status of the Hyperproof FedRAMP project. Along the way, Kayne uncovers some of the challenges associated with the project and suggests solutions for others going through the same process. And straight out of left field, Kayne actually likes a beer more than Tom. Come find out what caused this seismic disturbance in the force.

Keeping an organization secure is every employee’s job. Instead of the obligatory employee training, Director of Security & IT for Pensar Development Kayne McGladrey recommends continuous engagement with the end-user community. “Provide opportunities and instrumentation to demonstrate policy violations rather than lecture at people.” Examples include leaving a USB data stick in a break room or using phishing tools to falsify emails from known employees that seem suspicious. “This helps educate and creates healthy suspicion,” said McGladrey.

“Realistically, the use of AI in cybersecurity will help to reduce the punishing cognitive load on tier one analysts in the security operation center,” said IEEE Senior Member Kayne McGladrey. “Rather than having to comb through a needlestack looking for a needle, AI promises to automate much of the correlation across vast amounts of data that humans struggle with.”

In this episode, we’re talking with Kayne McGladrey about cybersecurity, cyberterrorism and how to defend against these attacks at the personal, corporate, and national levels. I’ve been working on research for my next book and I knew that I had to talk to him to see what we could do to defend against this new and pernicious form of war.
