ISF Podcast

"Threat Horizon is there to try to identify upcoming threats so that we are forewarned and forearmed. And what the ISF has always done with that Threat Horizon is try to pull out issues, yes, at the basic security level, but also then say, what does this actually mean from a business standpoint? And what does a business, an organization need to do in order to avoid some of those threats, mitigate some of those risks?"

 

In today's ISF Podcast, we're bringing you a conversation with journalist Nicholas Witchell and ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin. In this wide-ranging conversation, Steve will share his insights on the role of cyber in society and its impact on individuals and the future outlook.

"It requires persistence of professionalism. A recognising that even if I'm great at this, there are still ways for failure to happen, for it to rear its ugly head. You have to build an ever-increasing base of readiness to deal with things going wrong, readiness for failure."

"In today's modern way of doing business, when cyber breaches and information security make or break an organisation, there is an increased need for company structure and better use of technology." 

Organisations focus most of their efforts on meeting strategic and financial targets. However, the board and security leaders need to be aware that this is when cybercriminals are most likely strike – leading to reputational damage and disruption to the financial bottom line. When a security breach happens, it is the CISO who shoulders the blame.

In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, discusses how cyberspace is not just the responsibility of one or two individuals – but the whole organisation. When it comes to security best practices, collaboration between security leaders and the board is the key to success.
