There’s a natural tendency, not just in cyber security, to be drawn to bright, shiny objects. If you’re a security professional, you’ve likely had to respond to questions from management and your coworkers about the latest high-profile breach or ransomware incident. For sure, that’s part of the job, but how do you make sure you’re not spending too much time reacting to the latest threat, when you could be strengthening your internal resiliency plans? On today’s episode of the Recorded Future podcast, we address the downside of headline chasing, and the need for resiliency within security, so that basic, fundamental tasks don’t lead to mass chaos within organizations.

We’ve got two guests today, Zak and Ryan. They are both high-level security professionals at a major financial services organization, and in order to minimize the number of hoops they’d have to jump through to get permission from their employer to appear on our show, we’re going to respect their request to keep things on a first name basis.
