  • CPP 333 | Ryan Gregory | Senior Security Analyst | Coalition

    Ryan, a senior security analyst, stresses the importance of strategic planning and risk management in cybersecurity. He pointed out that many teams are bogged down by daily alerts, leaving little time for proactive measures. Ryan advocated for the use of managed detection and response services to focus on long-term strategies and highlighted the need for a balance between strong defense and offense. He also discussed the potential of AI and machine learning in managing and analyzing large amounts of data. In a more lighthearted moment, Ryan shared his fond childhood memories with the TRS-80 and Apple II and confirmed that he still enjoys playing retro games.
