Cybersecurity presentation to veterans in Seattle

Besides working nights, I learned in my fifteen-minute conversation that Rosa volunteers at an elementary school. She’d met no one who worked in cyber security, and the kids she worked with hadn’t considered it as a career option. They wanted to be rappers, they wanted to be marine biologists; they didn’t know there was a high-paying position called “security operations center analyst.”

“Make the security guardrails as invisible as possible to your end users and ensure that organizational change management is part of your planning for rollout,” says Kayne McGladrey, security architect, strategy and GRC practice lead at Ascent Solutions LLC. “This increases adoption of new collaboration technologies by ensuring that users are aware that the solution exists and understand that it’s easy to use. End users won’t use a solution specifically because it’s secure; rather, they’ll adopt it if it meets their needs easily and quickly.”

“Companies should conduct thorough risk assessments to identify and mitigate potential harms associated with AI products, understanding their limitations and potential misuse,” McGladrey said. “Maintaining clear documentation of AI system metrics and methodologies, along with disclosing any known risks or limitations to customers, is essential for transparency.”

“[AI] allows a threat actor to scale a lot faster and across multiple channels,” Kayne McGladrey, chief information security officer at compliance management company Hyperproof, told Built In. “And the defensive tools haven’t quite caught up. Unfortunately, none of this stuff is going away. This has now become a fixture of the landscape. It’s part of our new, modern cybersecurity hellscape that we inhabit continuously.”

Kayne and Tom talk with Matt Fryer about the cost structures and strategies associated with a Cloud Service Provider (CSP) FedRAMP project. Matt brings a well established perspective and helps understand the challenges of the increased controls focus apparent with FedRAMP. Plus, they try Modelo Especial, a Mexican lager.

“You can never get risk to zero, but you can mitigate risk to an acceptable level for that agency or that project,” McGladrey says. “You need to know what risks you can accept and what you have done to mitigate the potential damage associated with those risks.”
