Infogressive CEO Justin Kallhoff: How Much is Securing Your Business Worth? Dec 03, 2018

InSecurity Podcast: Infogressive CEO Justin Kallhoff: How Much is Securing Your Business Worth?

"The biggest bang for the buck in security is to ask for more money—because it's free!"

overheard at SecureWorld Chicago

In today's cybersecurity market, it can be difficult for a small business to catch the attention of the major security players. Oftentimes, those large players offer a scaled-back version of their enterprise solution at a lower price or a souped-up version of their consumer product.

Neither option tends to meet the needs of the type of small business that is frequently the victim of a data breach. Especially when you consider that, according to the 2018 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, of those breaches

28% involved internal actors
30% included malware
68% took months or longer to discover

Some folks in Lincoln, Nebraska didn't particularly care for that status quo and decided to do something about it. Over the past decade, CEO Justin Kallhoff and the crew over at Infogressive have built an enterprise spread over 44 states and 20 countries, comprising over 30,000 seats.

In today's episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson chats with Justin Kallhoff about the trials and tribulations of the Small to Medium enterprise in the contemporary world of Cryptovariants, ransomware and how MSSPs work to shoulder the burden of cybersecurity.

About Justin Kallhoff

Justin Kallhoff (@justinkallhoff) founded Infogressive Inc. in October of 2006 with a dream of creating a world-class team of information security professionals that could make a difference for clients spanning the globe. Over the past decade, Justin and the crew at Infogressive have built an enterprise spread over 44 states and 20 countries, comprising over 30,000 seats.

Pete Schiefelbein: It's Not Just Cybersecurity, It's Information Security Nov 28, 2018

Show notes

InSecurity Podcast: Lieutenant Colonel (Ret) Pete Schiefelbein: It's Not Just Cybersecurity, It's Information Security

The Cyber Security Forum Initiative (CSFI) is a non-profit organization headquartered in Omaha, NE and in Washington DC with a mission "to provide Cyber Warfare awareness, guidance, and security solutions through collaboration, education, volunteer work, and training to assist the US Government, US Military, Commercial Interests, and International Partners." CSFI was born out of the collaboration of dozens of experts, and today CSFI is comprised of a large community of nearly 81,000 Cyber Security and Cyber Warfare professionals from the government, military, private sector, and academia.

Pete Schiefelbein is a key part of CSFI and works to provide the kind of training to military and private sector companies that can be the difference between a major data breach and just another day at the office.

In today's episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson chats with Pete about a broad spectrum of topics including the evolution of the Marine Corps into a state of the art Cyber Defense unit as well its traditional role as an elite wartime fighting force. They dig into the notion of generational change and how it can effect a military organization. Further, Matt and Pete dig into the notion of information security compared to cybersecurity.

Oh… and for good measure, they even talk a bit about the fact that Pete and his son are both Eagle Scouts and the role scouting is playing in developing the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.

For more information on the topics discussed in the podcast, make sure to check out the following:

About Pete Schiefelbein

PeteSchiefelbein is an Advisory Board Member at the Cyber Security Forum Initiative (@CSFI_DCOE) He also is a systems engineer at CSCI. Prior to his current work, Pete served 24 years in the United States Marine Corps, recently retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. However, once a Marine, always a Marine. His final billet in the Marines was as Director, G-6 for the Marine Corps Training and Education Command in Quantico, Virginia, responsible for the governance, procurement, sustainment, and cyber security of over 20,000 user seats at more than 70 Marine Corps formal learning centers across the United States. It is safe to say that Pete knows a thing or two about operating a sophisticated network and protecting data from a variety of threats.

The Cybersecurity Skill Shortage is a Matter of National Security Oct 29, 2018

Show notes

Here are some important numbers to consider when thinking about the personnel and technology required to keep your network and your data safe.

Over two thirds of all network compromises are not discovered for months

The average cost to a business for each record lost to a data breach is $148

Now consider that, according to the Herjavec group, there will be over 3.5 million cybersecurity job vacancies by 2021. These gaps run the gamut from the heart of the datacenter up to the executive suite including CISO and CSO positions. How are businesses supposed to prepare for their future if they are not fully staffed and ready to protect their present?

Could you explain the difference between a DoS and DDoS attack to your CFO? Could you make her care that there is a difference?

Should Americans care about GDPR? Do Americans know what GDPR is?

There's a LOT going on just in the vocabulary words that we use in the cybersecurity world. We don't just have to make the solutions that protect our users and prevent attacks from happening, we have to communicate what we are doing in a way that the users understand.

In this episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson sits down with proud pager-wearing millennial Brian Fanzo to talk about the important role effective communications plays in cybersecurity and the larger business world. With a social media following over 130,000 and over 150 episodes of his 2 podcasts published, it is fair to say that Brian Fanzo knows about the value of communicating.

Taylor isn't just a suit-and-tie executive, though. He puts on the scrubs and does rounds with the medical staff in order to immerse himself in the daily operations of the facilities. For Taylor, that is the only way to grok what is happening at Wellforce and to know what he and his teams must be doing to protect it
