In the 15 years since cybersecurity first received an October shout-out, technology has grown in leaps and bounds. But one thing that’s remained constant? The vital role that humans play in not only creating these advancements, but in driving their success and—often unknowingly—contributing to their limitations. In this episode, we talk with two awareness experts who share how best to secure our most important infosec asset: people.

Some of the topics that we’ll cover include:

•What are the core tenants of awareness training beyond phishing warnings?

•What do you say to an IT team that believes it can code its way to complete safety?

•How do you persuade employees to pay attention to cybersecurity—especially those who are working remotely from home networks?

What are some career tips for future cybersecurity professionals? Get the answers as Britta Glade talks with Founder and Managing Director, Ursus Security Consulting LLC, Kim Jones and Stanford University student Maggie Engler.

Britta Glade and Dr. Hugh Thompson delve into the latest cybersecurity technology developments with Microsoft’s Diana Kelley and Denim Group’s John Dickson.

Topics to be covered include:

•What is data gravity and how can it help analysts in the SOC/CDOC?

•How can security strategies be adapted for DevOps application developments?

•What are the advantages of using a layered machine learning (ML) model over a single ML?

•Are humans in danger of being replaced by artificial intelligence?

Britta Glade and Hugh Thompson talk with State of Colorado CISO Deborah Blyth and Oracle CSO Mary Ann Davidson about the relationship between cybersecurity and the C-Suite—and the repercussions when the two go their separate ways.

Tasked with creating a cybersecurity policy framework, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) had its work cut out for it—and then some. After all, it’s one thing to agree that organizations and the nation’s critical infrastructure need to be protected. And another to find common ground on how best to proceed. In this episode, we take a look at how the NIST Cybersecurity Framework was born, and where it’s headed once the recently drafted—and more user friendly—updates go into effect.

Some of the topics we cover include:

•To what degree are both the public and private sectors guided by the Cybersecurity Framework?

•In what ways does the Cybersecurity Framework address various technologies such as IoT?

•How does the Cybersecurity Framework weigh in on the challenges specific to vertical industries?

Cybersecurity has come a long way. But unfortunately, with every bit of progress the industry makes, threats and risks are never far behind. Especially now, in the midst of a turbulent political atmosphere, cyberattacks put everything from personal data to personal liberties at stake, leaving our government to address the biggest uncertainty of all: where do we go next?

Joining hosts Britta Glade and Hugh Thompson, along with guests Jason Healey, a senior research scholar at Columbia University’s School for International and Public Affairs, and Dmitri Alperovitch, co-founder and CTO of CrowdStrike, as they team up for our newest RSAC podcast episode. Topics covered will include:

•What does today’s threat landscape look like and how can we address its many challenges?

•Have there been changes in breakout time and speed of adversary activity within compromised networks and what does that mean for future security priorities?

•How can infosec professionals engage Boards and other governing bodies in discussions of cybersecurity policy?

•What challenges are unique to protecting critical infrastructure?
