Zero trust secures agile business transformation
ByKayne
CIOs should collaborate closely with CISOs to evaluate which zero trust controls will offer the most significant mitigation of agreed-upon business risks. Once specific controls are implemented, they can be centralized and reused across the various compliance standards like SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, and PCI, delivering greater flexibility. “The key lies in the deliberate selection of zero trust controls aimed at reducing specific business risks while potentially streamlining existing compliance efforts,” explains Kayne McGladrey (@kaynemcgladrey), field CISO at Hyperproof and senior IEEE member.
3 Phases to Simplify Cyber Risk Management
ByKayne
Cybersecurity risk management exists to help businesses make informed decisions when allocating their limited resources. Although there are several ways of measuring risks and several more risk frameworks, there is no “right” way to conduct risk management other than consistency. Provided that a business documents, discusses, and acts on risk data, the supporting technologies and formulas are not particularly relevant to business leaders or board members.
What Are the Implications of Meltdown and Spectre for IoT?

“Patching is a reactive strategy, and there are a couple of challenges that have led us to the current situation. One of those challenges is that the market has rewarded companies that develop and produce products rapidly, and the market has shown a willingness to accept post-release patching as an acceptable trade-off. As a result, developers and architects are rewarded by their employers for producing code and architecture very quickly with less thought given to cybersecurity.
“The other significant challenge is that the cybersecurity community is generally homogenous. We have a diversity problem when just 11% of women work in cybersecurity. This lack of diversity in backgrounds and life experiences has influenced the analytic methodologies that are used to evaluate potential security issues with products. This lack of diversity of thought has led to the unfortunate set of expectations that breaches are inevitable, and this situation will continue until the cybersecurity industry does a better job of including diverse voices and opinions in the global conversation about security.”
3 Ways To Prepare Now For Future Endpoint Defense

“The explosion of connected devices also requires re-thinking the protection mechanisms to apply to those endpoints,” says Kayne McGladrey, Director of Security and IT, Pensar Development. “Similarly, the widespread adoption of cloud-based services means that there’s no single network to protect.”
The Loper Bright Decision: How it Impacts Cybersecurity Law
ByKayne
The Loper Bright decision has yielded impactful results: the Supreme Court has overturned forty years of administrative law, leading to potential litigation over the interpretation of ambiguous laws previously decided by federal agencies. This article explores key questions for cybersecurity professionals and leaders as we enter a more contentious period of cybersecurity law. Courts will no longer defer to agency interpretations of ambiguous statutes and will exercise their independent judgment. This shift may lead to more frequent legal challenges, increased scrutiny of regulations, and delays.
What Thoma Bravo’s latest acquisition reveals about identity management
ByKayne
Identity management of users and devices is key for CISOs to manage the risks associated with unauthorized access to sensitive data and systems, according to Kayne McGladrey, Field CISO at Hyperproof and IEEE senior member. “From a control operations standpoint, the two most important capabilities are the ability to validate a user’s behavior when it deviates from the norm, and the ability to quickly de-provision access when it is no longer needed,’’ McGladrey told VentureBeat.
For example, if a user regularly logs in from Washington State using their Windows-powered computer to access a single program, there’s little reason to prompt them for a second authentication factor, he said. “But when the device changes, perhaps a new Mac computer that’s not configured correctly, or their location suddenly changes to Australia, they should be prompted for multifactor authentication as part of identity validation before being allowed to access those data,” McGladrey said. When a user leaves an organization, their identity access should be rapidly revoked across all platforms and devices. Otherwise, organizations run the risk of a threat actor using the older access and credentials, McGladrey added.
