“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.”
How can a security automation tool help mitigate unknown threats?
ByKayne
A security automation tool allows people to focus on the more interesting threats — those alerts that have passed a threshold that the automation algorithms can’t sufficiently remediate, or where closing the threat might alert the adversary to a forensic investigation. This is the type of work that security teams enjoy — actively hunting for adversaries and ethically engaging before cleaning up the damages and closing any observed vulnerabilities that were exploited.

Podcast: Making cybersecurity more effective in the age of cloud and COVID-19
ByKayne
Cybersecurity has always been a critical task that must be handled effectively. However, cloud—and more recently—COVID 19—have exacerbated cybersecurity issues and changed the security landscape. In this episode of the podcast, Mike Kavis and guest, Ascent Solutions’ Kayne McGladrey, discuss cybersecurity in the context of cloud, and vis-à-vis the changes wrought by the pandemic. Kayne’s take is that the transition to cloud and the pandemic have exposed and magnified issues that have always been a problem, and that companies should not skimp on cybersecurity, in favor of spending on other “more pressing” projects. The key to success is to focus on data, automation, and risk assessment.
‘It Comes Back To You’: Evaluating Third-Party Cyber Risk Management
ByKayne
Expanding on this, national cyber security expert and the Director of Information Security Services at Integral Partners, Kayne McGladrey, told the Cyber Security Hub that, “If you’re breached by a third party, nobody cares that it’s the third party’s fault. It comes back to you.”
He continued: “It’s your fault for not having adequate controls. And the single easiest third-party control is around onboarding and off-boarding third-party accounts.”
Even if you’re rotating passwords, monitoring privileged access, auditing, etc., McGladrey said you must know, empirically, who’s accessing your network.
