Dimensional Fund Advisors on MITRE ATT&CK and Security Optimization, with Pete Luban
Guest: Pete Luban, Head of Information Security and IT Risk at Dimensional Fund Advisors
Chief information security officers and security leaders all over the globe struggle with complexity. Complex socio-political risk; complex risk management organizations; and complex technologies. In Episode 8 of Think Bad, Do Good, we talk with one of the world’s leading cybersecurity operators not just about how you can decrease complexity and strengthen your security program, but how you can become a more effective leader for your organization.
Pete Luban knows the issues well. He is the head of the cybersecurity program for Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA), an investment management service that operates with over $550 billion in assets under management. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, the 38-year-old company has over 1,700 employees and, in the words of Peter Luban, is “run by a group of computational geniuses.” As a global distributed firm with significant financial assets, it faces similarly significant cyberthreats to its assets and personnel.
For managing these risks, Pete calls the MITRE ATT&CK framework the “mother brain” for security effectiveness. Why? Since he started using ATT&CK, he has seen a fundamental increase in effectiveness in protecting his company, but also in how he communicates to his board. ATT&CK and AttackIQ give him a single tool to see threats and threat behaviors. “That is a giant value add use case that follows the life cycle of information or misinformation from beginning to end and gives me a tool by which to validate, no pun intended, that what we do is worth what the company spends on it, right? That’s a simple use case that is insanely valuable.”
Listen to this episode to learn more about what keeps Pete up at night, what Pete would like to see more broadly adopted in his community to increase communication and effectiveness, and how COVID has transformed cybersecurity for companies everywhere.
