The question whether using a cloud service alters risk is not simple to answer. Mike Small sits down with Matthias and explains, that every organization has its own set of circumstances, and the answer needs to take these into account. He explains the important factors to look at, and what organizations should understand when assessing their risks in a cloud and hybrid world.

Cybersecurity often seems like a dry subject. And as long as it is practiced successfully, its benefits can only be seen in the absence of damage. However, Marina Iantorno, who is taking part in the Analyst Chat for the first time, will discuss the actual risks associated with inadequate IT security and how they affect organizations specifically.

Sometimes Vulnerability Management has to take care of current threats very quickly: Christopher Schütze is today's guest in this episode and explains which processes are necessary when a system needs to be updated very quickly, for example because there is a current threat, e.g. a "zero day" attack actively being exploited or a vendor recommends an update....

A key issue for many companies beyond technical cybersecurity is cyber resilience. This refers to the ability to protect data and systems in organizations from cyber attacks and to quickly resume business operations in the event of a successful attack. Martin Kuppinger, Mike Small, and John Tolbert will explore this important topic at the Cybersecurity Leadership Summit in Berlin. For this special episode of Analyst Chat, they join Matthias for a virtual panel discussion to identify key actions on the path to a cyber resilient enterprise.

How do you implement modern cybersecurity leadership between compliance, threat protection, privacy and business enablement? To answer this question, Matthias invited the CEO of KuppingerCole Analysts, Berthold Kerl, who was and is active in various roles as a leader in cybersecurity. Together they explore questions such as how important the knowledge of basic cybersecurity technologies is and what the necessary management tasks are in an organization?

It is always easy to blame people, i.e. users, for data breaches and ransomware attacks. But is that really still true today? Martin Kuppinger and Matthias discuss this cybersecurity myth and finally defend users against unjustified accusations.

Verified identity refers to digital identities that have been verified to describe a real-world identity in digital form. A growing range of service providers support organizations to achieve this for customers, citizens and employees alike. Annie Bailey rejoins Matthias and gives an overview of what "Providers of verified identity" are and which types of services and benefits beyond mere verification should be considered.

The Leadership Compass will be available here once published.

Zero Trust is rapidly gaining popularity as a modern alternative to traditional perimeter-based security. While it is (rightfully) mainly considered a concept rather than a product, a new market segment has developed. Those solutions apply this concept to network-based access to existing applications and other systems by creating a logical identity- and context-based overlay over existing (and presumed hostile) networks. Alexei Balaganski has examined this new market for KuppingerCole Analysts research and talks to Matthias about how this can speed up ZT deployments. 

Customer Data Platforms (CDP) are a fairly new addition to the pool of consumer identity centric management solutions. KuppingerCole Fellow Analyst Roland Bühler joins Matthias for the first time and he explains the full picture of consumer identity and detail what differentiates CDPs from other solutions, such as DMP, CRM or Marketing Automation Solutions.

Microservices are increasingly becoming the new normal for enterprise architectures, no matter where they are deployed. Alexei Balaganski and Matthias discuss why doing this properly is essential and which aspects need to be considered, way beyond just talking about transport encryption or API security.
