Episode Notes
In this Chats on the Road to RSA Conference podcast episode, former US diplomat Dana Linnet speaks about her transition from diplomacy to cybersecurity, highlighting her experiences and the lessons she learned along the way.
Joining hosts Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli, Linnet offers insights into how culture plays a crucial role in addressing cyber threats. She discusses her time as a government CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) and ISSO (Information System Security Officer), which began during the early days of cybersecurity. She also discusses her involvement in establishing the NATO Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (CCOE) in Estonia after the nation experienced cyber-attacks from neighboring Russia and how important it is for governments to listen to people who know more than they do about cybersecurity.
As the conversation turns to the importance of culture in cybersecurity and how human behavior is a critical factor in preventing cyber-attacks, Linnet highlights the importance of information sharing, learning from digital threats, and adapting to the ever-changing cyber landscape. The hosts and Dana also discuss personal responsibility in cybersecurity and the need for leaders to take ownership of the problem.
The conversation highlights Linnet’s upcoming panel at RSA Conference. Focused on the topic of leadership culture in cybersecurity, the panel will dive into the role of boards and C-suites in leading and nurturing a security-conscious culture. The panel also touches on the value of diverse backgrounds in the cybersecurity industry, the challenges of changing culture, and how companies need to address the cultural gap between what they know and what they do.
