New DISA Program Assesses Operational Risk
/by RedSealSIGNAL Magazine | May 22, 2017
By J. Wayne Lloyd, RedSeal Federal CTO
As the Defense Information Services Agency (DISA) knows, a network that complies with standards is not necessarily secure. DISA’s new evaluation program, the Command Cyber Operational Readiness Inspection (CCORI), is designed to go beyond standards. Its goal is to provide site commanders and federal agencies an understanding of mission operational risks.
RedSeal CEO Joins Cheddar TV’s “Closing Bell” to Talk Resilience, WannaCry
/by RedSealCheddar | May 18, 2017
RedSeal CEO Ray Rothrock joined Cheddar TV’s “Closing Bell” show, where he spoke about resilience, WannaCry and more. Ray’s segment starts at the 1:04:05 mark of the video.
“Prevention has been the strategy of the last 25, 30 years in cybersecurity…You’ve got to have prevention but you need more than that now. Attacks are inside the network – not at the firewall anymore – they are inside. And being inside means you need to know what’s going on inside. You’ve got to know what the network looks like.”
Security vs. Resilience: Know the Difference
/by RedSealTechBeacon | May 5, 2017
By Ray Rothrock, RedSeal Chief Executive Officer
If you really want to know the difference between security and resilience, pour yourself a cup of strong coffee and dig into the all-but-impenetrable PPD-21, Presidential Policy Directive—Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience. Or just go to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) website, which cuts to the chase with a few good examples of each…
Scan these two lists, and you come to an inescapable conclusion: Security and resilience are not synonyms or even second cousins. In fact, security and resilience have remarkably little to do with one another. The measures under the “security” list are about locking up. Those under “resilience” are about standing up. Security is about hunkering down. Resilience is about doing business.
7 Habits of a Resilient Business
/by RedSealComputer Business Review | May 4, 2017
By Ray Rothrock, RedSeal Chief Executive Officer
Here’s the reality: Bad things will happen, and your precautions and defenses will not stop every bad thing. However, this doesn’t mean there’s no hope. It’s quite the opposite, because you have a choice: you can either wish for the best, or decide to be – what the industry is calling: digitally resilient. There is no third alternative. If you choose to face reality and pursue resilience, you need to acquire, cultivate, and hone the seven habits that follow.
Better Cybersecurity Audits Would Mean Better Network Protection

Pick up a newspaper on any given day in 2017 and you’re likely to read the latest chapter in a long-running story: security professionals versus the hackers. Recent revelations around Russian state-sponsored involvement in the 2013 Yahoo hack, and the WikiLeaks-managed exposure of a trove of CIA-developed exploits, means those hackers could even be government employees.
This is a story without an end – a battle which is just getting started. That’s bad news for IT leaders already stretched to the limit by a lack of human resources in their security departments.
Don’t Let Complex Networks Ground Your Operations
/by RedSealForbes | April 25, 2017
By Dr. Mike Lloyd, RedSeal CTO
The Wall Street Journal recently wrote (paywall) about the fragile nature of airline IT infrastructure. They highlighted the way that a single point of failure, such as a failed router, can ripple out to impact global operations. This can happen to any of us when we can’t track which objectives depend on particular technology pieces in our complex environments.
While the WSJ article pinpointed the problem in one specific industry and characterized it as an issue with “aging” technology, the problem is both more widespread and subtle than that. Working at RedSeal, I get to see inside the networks of many different types of organizations — civilian, military, global, tiny. One thing they all share: complexity.

Can a Non-Tech Manager Effectively Oversee Tech Pros?
/by RedSealDICE | April 14, 2017
Featuring Kurt Van Etten, RedSeal VP of Product Management
A manager is a worker with ambition who seized greater responsibility. But as the old saying goes, many manage to rise above their abilities, and attract reputations for uncertain guidance, indecision, and de-motivation.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Putting the right person in the right job is the most important task that many companies screw up. A bad hire is bad enough, but the problem compounds when that bad hire is a manager—and the problem may scale up exponentially when you have an IT-oriented unit answering to a non-tech manager.
Banks Must Focus More on Cyber-Risk

By Dr. Mike Lloyd, RedSeal CTO
In late 2016, just after the distributed denial-of-service attack on the DNS infrastructure, I sat in my hotel room staring at a cryptic URL error on my laptop after attempting to buy a train ticket, wondering what it meant. Was my credit card compromised? Did I have a ticket? Should I do anything to protect my identity and financial security?
Every day, millions of Americans conduct billions of digital financial transactions with the corner grocery store, online retailers, and banks. We buy things and pay for them; we pay rent, credit card, and utility bills; and we scan smartphone screens at payment readers. Online financial interactions are continuous, intertwined, and essential to everyday life. They are also under ever-more threats from cyberattack. What can be done to defend against the constant barrage of successful exploits?
Security At Its Boiling Point
/by RedSealChannel Post | March 27, 2017
Cyber-crime is not a new phenomenon and it has gained momentum in recent years leading to more cyber-attacks on businesses, government establishments and other entities, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. Over the last few years, the evolving threat climate has led to an increase in security spending. Enterprises are also transforming their security spending strategy in 2017, moving away from prevention-only approaches to focus more on detection and response. According to Gartner, spending on enhancing detection and response capabilities is expected to be a key priority for security buyers through 2020.
