The primary goal with this podcast discussion (which also available in webcast form) is to highlight the value of a SOAR (security orchestration automation and response) platform/model in order to help companies figure out how best to operationalize it as part of their security management programs.

The key point here is “operationalize” … who should be involved, what do they need in place in order to succeed (tech/process/people, both within and outside of the platform), and what can they expect from an operational benefit perspective.

EXPERT PANELISTS

Tim Condello, Senior Customer Success Manager, Siemplify

Heather Hixon, Senior Solutions Architect, DFLabs

Lior Kolnik, Head of Security Research, Demisto

Ken Westin, Staff Security Strategist, Splunk (Phantom)

Fred Wilmot, VP, Security Engineering, Devo

MODERATOR

Sean Martin, CISSP, Founder and Editor-in-Chief, ITSPmagazine

We expect each of the expert panelists to work together as a group toward this goal of helping companies succeed with SOAR.

Watch or Listen to This Episode To Learn:

What is SOAR: components, inputs, outputs, actions, benefits

How does it work: we’ll attempt to paint a visual picture of the operational architecture of the platform within an environment

Roles and responsibilities: Who would use the platform / who are the other stakeholders beyond the “users"

What are some common use cases: what can be orchestrated / automated combined with a view into what playbooks are as well

Dependencies and/or pre-requisites: what’s required to make it work

Lessons learned: we’ll discuss some real-world cases (anonymously) where organizations have succeeded in implementing and extracting value from a SOAR platform

Prevention Is Always Better Than Reaction When It Comes To Safety. Cybersecurity Is No Different, But What To Do If You Become A Victim Of Cybercrime?

It seems to me that we have a long way to go before the general population and small businesses become aware of the very likely risk of becoming victims of cybercrime. While there are many things that can be done to reduce the risk — the “100% safe” scenario is a myth — we certainly cannot expect (at this time) that someone or something is going to take those steps for us.

In today’s chat Selena and I connect with Ryan Louie, a board-certified Psychiatrist focusing on the psychiatry of entrepreneurship, and the mental health impact of cybersecurity.

I was thrilled to meet Ryan during the recent Data Privacy Day event in San Francisco, where he told me about the work he is doing and also about the interactive session he is hosting during the RSA Conference -- the session is entitled Cybersecurity Impact on Mental Health: Managing Stress, Building Resilience.

During our conversation, Ryan describes how his session provides a safe on-site environment for people to learn about mental health in cybersecurity -- giving attendees the tools and knowledge to identify, discuss, and deal with stress, fatigue, depression, and more.

Additionally, Ryan speaks about this session setting the stage for ongoing conversations beyond the conference itself, enabling individuals, their peers, their managers, and the HR teams that support them - a safe way to continue the work toward a mentally-healthy workforce.

The first recorded modern usage of the term can be traced to a 1699 book entitled Les Aventures de Télémaque by the French writer François Fénelon, in which the lead character is that of Mentor. This book was very popular during the 18th century and the modern application of the term can be traced to this publication.

That was then. What about now?

In today’s episode, I am joined by two InfoSec veterans who have held a variety of leadership roles and are now leading and managing a fund at ClearSky Ventures — Jay Leek and Patrick Heim.

I am thrilled to get a slice of their time to ask some hard questions and to get a view of their world as they try to figure our which investments to make, why, and why not.

Paraphrasing Jay in this conversation: “It’s hard to get informed with investments … it’s not obvious!”

Jay and Patrick shine the light on a ton of stuff in this episode. Listen in to get their individual and combined views on investment strategies, investment buzzwords, and the categorization of the 4 types of security companies and how the categories impact investment decisions. Jay and Patrick even share some advice for the organizations making attempts to consume some of these innovative products. Similar to Jay’s point of view for investments — it’s not always obvious to the consumer, either.

In today’s cyber society, most of the time people sign EULAs without even looking at them; sometimes they are tricked into consent, and other times they are simply scammed and taken advantage of.
