Why Defensibility and Accountability Is Key To Building Trust and Reducing Cybersecurity Risk Feb 08, 2022

Show notes

If you want to keep your clients’ data secure, you need to be actively working to better your systems and protocols.

This requires two key things: defensibility and accountability. Your job as an MSP or an MSSP is not to protect your clients. It's to be defensible in your actions. This comes down to how you choose to protect your client's data and network, and how you educate your client. Working to mitigate risk is a never-ending part of cybersecurity. But by working proactively, you can get ahead of potential breaches.

In this episode, Matt Lee, Senior Director of Security and Compliance at Pax8, shared his tips for mitigating cybersecurity risk through defensible and accountable practices, plus how to handle the responsibilities of an MSSP.

When it comes to cybersecurity, preparation is everything. Your cybersecurity framework is your company’s best defense against cyber attacks and breaches.

But how do you invest your time and money to get the greatest protection?

Want to Combat Cybersecurity? Look for Insider Threats in Your Circle of Trust Jul 09, 2021

Show notes

When most people think of cybersecurity, they picture an evil hacker plotting in a dark room. The reality? Your biggest security threat could be a trusted vendor, a go-getter employee, or even the CEO. We hosted a panel of three top cybersecurity experts to explain the most common reasons that breaches happen. They explained why companies need to go on the offense, thinking about cybersecurity as an ongoing business risk to manage, rather than an isolated IT issue.

What Drives Cybersecurity in the Automotive & Manufacturing Industries? May 12, 2021

Show notes

The company polo made him look official. The heavy boxes added an air of desperation. "Can you hold the door?" he asked an incoming employee. "I'm struggling here."

The employee not only held open the door but also escorted him to the manager's office. There, he plugged in a USB drive and downloaded all the data he wanted.

And that's how Tareq Falah proved that no matter how good your security tech is, it's no match for a kindhearted plant floor associate in a manufacturing firm.

In this episode of Cyber Security Heroes, I chat with Tareq, who's the Vice President, Information Technology / Information Systems at Creative Foam Corp. We discuss:

- How to maintain a proactive cybersecurity posture

- What a framework is and why you probably shouldn't use one

- Tips to sustain 99% uptime across all servers and network resources

- Risk trends in the automotive and manufacturing industries
