McGladrey, whose work focuses on identity and access management, leads a team that assists clients in multiple industries. The focus: insider and outsider threats on non-privileged or privileged credentials. McGladrey said that technology has matured so much, that overall cyber security is not about software installation.
These chats are a public conversation on how individuals and organizations can increase inclusion and encourage diversity in cybersecurity. Cybersecurity jobs now affect the public safety of every developed nation. Our questions started with a quick look back before we focused our discussion on the future.
Venture capitalists will accelerate feature development via mergers and acquisitions. In recent years, VCs have funded point solution vendors for technologies like SOAR and UEBA. These are features, not stand-alone technologies, and it’s often cheaper for market leaders to buy rather than build new features. CISOs should be aware of this market reality, as buying early-stage cybersecurity from a startup carries the risk of unintentionally having a business relationship with a much larger vendor within two years, and consequently needing to either buy the larger technology solution or rip and replace after the acquisition closes.
“Discord initially was used as a way for gamers to hold real-time voice and text chats in games that either didn’t support real-time communications or where the in-game system wasn’t robust,” says Kayne McGladrey, a senior member of IEEE, a professional organization for technology and engineering. But the platform gained popularity, particularly during the COVID-19 shutdown. “During the pandemic, Discord emerged as a free alternative to Zoom for gamers, friends, cryptocurrency enthusiasts, and other communities to host remote events,” McGladrey says.
There’s quite a lot of optimism in Generation AI, the IEEE study of millennial parent’s attitudes about artificial intelligence. The findings of the study are evolutionary, not revolutionary, as views towards artificial intelligence have become more refined over the years. However, the optimism shown in this study pre-supposes that we can move past our current cybersecurity issues.
Cybersecurity expert Kayne McGladrey speaks about why AI cannot do what creative people can, and the important role of generative AI in SOCs.
