KXL-FM (Portland, OR) Radio Interview
Tune in KXL-FM (Portland, OR) at 4 PM Pacific for a discussion on the intersection of cyber security, agriculture, and the cloud.
Kayne McGladrey (@kaynemcgladrey), director of information security services at Integral Partners, notes that, for several years, we’ve been hearing predictions about millions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices with poor security joining networks and providing an easy attack vector for third parties.
“Printers are a culturally trusted technology because they’re perceived as not being new,” he says. “However, this doesn’t mean that modern organizations should not consider printers separately from a comprehensive strategy for the IoT.”
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.
Kayne McGladrey, field CISO at Hyperproof, hopes that a future version of the plan will get more granular. “Industry-specific guidance is missing, as hospitals, banks, and SaaS startups all have different cybersecurity needs and available resources,” he says.
With the global cost of cybercrime expected to reach $10.5 trillion by 2025, cybersecurity has become a board-level imperative. According to the Diligent Institute survey ‘What Directors Think,’ board members ranked cybersecurity as the most challenging issue to oversee. Even though boards say cybersecurity is a priority, they have a long way to go to help their organizations become resilient to cyberattacks. Kayne McGladrey, Field CISO at Hyperproof and a senior IEEE member sheds light on this important aspect of cybersecurity governance. The driving question being: How informed is the Board of Directors to provide effective oversight of cybersecurity governance?
Kayne McGladrey (@kaynemcgladrey), security architect/strategy and GRC practice lead at Ascent Solutions, recommends following the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification 2.0, which was developed by the U.S. Department of Defense. It offers a framework that incorporates “Zero Trust tenets that will help companies maintain regulatory compliance and ensure that data are adequately protected against evolving threats from nation states and advanced persistent threats,” he says.
