Ray Rothrock, chairman of RedSeal, said that total protection is impossible because attacks will be ever more sophisticated. He believes the best response is a fast response: Catch the attack and close it down as quickly as possible. And report it — don’t cover it up.
A lack of CEO awareness and engagement with cybersecurity could be placing their organizations at unnecessary risk of attack, according to new findings from RedSeal.
The security vendor polled over 500 IT professionals in the UK to better understand the cyber-risks posed by business leaders.
Over half (54%) said they don’t believe their CEO follows correct security procedure and in so doing is potentially exposing their organization to compromise. Over a third (38%) weren’t sure what technology their CEO used at home, with the majority (95%) claiming to be concerned that home smart devices could be hacked.
CEOs and other senior board-level executives are exposing their organisations to cyberattacks and hackers because of a lack of awareness around cybersecurity, a new study has warned.
Research by cybersecurity company RedSeal surveyed hundreds of senior IT and security professionals and found that many of these personnel believe there’s a disconnect between the CEO and the information security team, which could be putting organisations at risk.

As the world around us becomes increasingly connected, the attack surface is only set to grow. Dr Mike Lloyd, RedSeal, tells us why IoT is the latest headache for CISOs and offers some advice on how to secure it.
There’s a saying in the security world: ’if it’s on the network, it belongs to the CISO.’ And CISOs have risen to the occasion, developing and honing a bag of tricks that work reasonably even in the face of morphing attacks and unwitting employees. But now, with increasing numbers of very different devices connecting to the internet, CISOs are realising that their standard bag of tricks doesn’t work on the Internet of Things (IoT).

2. Cloud is always cheaper
On the other end of the cost spectrum, there’s another misconception that cloud is always less expensive than on-premises deployments.
Some assume the cloud is always cheaper because of the lack of data center hardware and maintenance. This is similar to saying that renting a home is always cheaper than buying one. Sometimes, renting is less costly. But if the buyer plans to stay in the rented home a long time, owning is the better financial decision.
“A lot of people misunderstand cloud pricing. They assume that, because it’s new and really popular, it must be cheap,” said Mike Lloyd, CTO of RedSeal, a security risk scoring platform. Public cloud can be expensive when users buy a fixed amount of computing power for a long period of time. The cloud is best for users who are uncertain about what they will need in the long-term — just like renting a home.

In a new CyberScoop podcast featuring our own Federal CTO Wayne Lloyd and FDIC CIO Howard Whyte, they discuss how network modeling helps operations and security teams mitigate risk. Government agencies can reduce risks and improve reaction times by utilizing network modeling to help operations and security teams visualize how on cloud and on-premises networks are connected.
