EP 5 - Preparing for the Cyber Unknown w/ Shay Nahari, CyberArk VP of Red Team Services Jun 21, 2022

Show notes

You may have heard the famous Mike Tyson quote, “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.” Applied to the context of cybersecurity, the message is – when things get real, what will you do? How will you react? You can attempt to prepare for seemingly every scenario under the sun, but you still can’t know when or how or where you'll actually get punched.
So how do you prepare for the unknown – for that metaphorical Iron Mike punch to the face? And what do you do when it happens? That's what host David Puner gets into with today's guest Shay Nahari, CyberArk’s VP of Red Team Services.
