Managing the Risks of the Future Internet of Things

Did you miss Black Hat this year? Well you won’t miss the great conversations that were had, as Allan captured so many good ones for this special Black Hat retrospective episode.

“End-to-end encryption is generally agreed upon as being a useful technology for protecting the data of businesses and consumers,” said IEEE Senior Member Kayne McGladrey. “Online shopping, for example, would not be as popular or feasible if a consumer’s payment information could easily be intercepted. Similarly, private video calls over the internet by senior executives or government officials would be far too risky if anyone could watch.”

Device location and user behavior can shed a lot more light on a login attempt, yet not all MFA solutions currently incorporate them, says McGladrey. If organizations switched to better access management systems, the cost to successfully infiltrate accounts would rise exponentially, barring “all but the best-funded nation-state actors and APTs.”

TechRepublic reports that generative artificial intelligence has been touted by Hyperproof Field Chief Information Security Officer Kayne McGladrey to not hamper employment opportunities in cybersecurity.

Continuous cyberattack innovation and supply chain diversity among threat actors would ensure that humans will not be displaced by generative AI, said McGladrey in an interview at the Black Hat security conference.

“We’re going to need to continuously adapt the tools that we have with the people we have in order to face the threats and risks that businesses and society continue to face,” said McGladrey.

In this YouTube video, Scott Schober interviews Kayne McGladrey, Field CISO for Hyperproof about cybersecurity and the challenges faced by CISOs. Kayne discusses the importance of aligning cybersecurity risk with business risk and the need for CISOs to be more involved with board-level decision making. He also talks about his work at Hyperproof to automate compliance and security operations, making it easier for teams to focus on creative problem solving and strategy.
