CDM Experts: Data Collection, Classification, Analysis Are Keys

/by

Recently, RedSeal Federal CTO Wayne Lloyd was asked to participate in a panel organized by Meritalk on the federal government’s Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program.

Wayne was joined by CDM experts from Veritas and Splunk. All offered candid assessments of the importance of data classification and collection as the CDM program moves to incorporate a more robust integrated system of dashboards.

Wayne said it was important for organizations to thoroughly understand what their data environments look like. Once they do, data classification becomes easier.

“At RedSeal we help customers model their networks so they can understand what IP space they have and where the data may be residing,” he said. But all of these deployments reveal that the organization “doesn’t know their entire network,” he added.

On the subject of data classification and protection, David Bailey, senior director of U.S. public sector technical sales at Veritas said, “Mission critical data containing patient information for a hospital or the VA should be in tiered storage with the best, maybe multiple, forms of protection, with lots of role-based access controls.” He added that sometimes understanding what data needs to be protected the most is the most important priority.

Adilson Jardim, area vice president for public sector sales engineering at Splunk, said there should be an emphasis on the “continuous” part of CDM, and that it shouldn’t “be a program that ends in five years.”

Industry Experts Provide Tips For Successful Cyber Diligence in M&A

Security Boulevard | September 26, 2019

Mergers and acquisitions can be successful growth strategies for many companies. They bring together customers, IP, and assets — but they also bring together liabilities and risk as well. Among these are cybersecurity risks. “Cyber diligence” — cybersecurity evaluations performed as part of the M&A decision-making processes — has grown in importance in recent years.  What are a company’s vulnerabilities? What cybersecurity issues or incidents have they had in the past, and how have they dealt with them? What defenses do they have in place to protect themselves? Are all important questions to ask in an M&A deal. But even if you’re not involved with a merger or acquisition, the same analysis can yield important and surprising results.

Oracle’s Autonomous Cloud Security Claims Met with Skepticism

/by

DataCenter Knowledge | September 25, 2019

Last week, Oracle co-founder and CTO Larry Ellison claimed that Oracle’s new autonomous systems will eliminate all data breaches. Not everyone’s buying it….

Mike Lloyd, CTO of cybersecurity vendor RedSeal, called Oracle’s latest promises an example of “hyperbolic marketing.”

“People find clouds inherently confusing, not least when trying to understand who is responsible for what,” he said. “Of course, if you think your cloud vendor is responsible for some aspect of security, but they think you’re responsible for it, then you’re on a road to a bad place.”

SC Magazine | September 23, 2019

Why Nominated: Having spent decades leading and advising both technology and information security companies, Rothrock knows that cybersecurity for any organization goes well beyond just deploying and managing strong technologies. It’s also about strategically thinking about security needs holistically top down. And, for him, this means that since every entity is a “cyber organization,” the related risks they face are a CEO and board-level responsibility. With this foundation in mind, Rothrock works well beyond the confines of his office, reaching out practitioners, C-level executives, government leaders and even average citizens through a bevy of activities and ventures.
