5 Things I Wish Someone Told Me Before I Began Leading My Company
/by RedSealAuthority Magazine | March 23, 2021
An Interview Between Charlie Katz and RedSeal CEO Bryan Barney
What do you think makes your company stand out? Can you share a story?
What makes RedSeal so great is we understand network paths better than anyone in the cybersecurity industry. Modern networks are so complex, no one really understands them. Companies don’t understand what is on their network, how everything is connected, or the security implications. You can’t secure what you don’t understand, and we allow people to understand their network environment. This is particularly important and urgent in the cloud environments that are quickly becoming the heart of all networks.
Prioritizing risk in M&A due diligence in the COVID-19 era, and beyond
/by RedSealCybersecurity Drive | March 22, 2021
The recession caused by the coronavirus pandemic had a chilling effect on economic activity, as companies determined next steps. For some, the solution to weather the contraction was to limit spending, while others accelerated innovation and technology adoption.
The good news is that there is nowhere to go but up. There is likely to be significant pent up demand in the coming year for M&As. In fact, a global survey of 250 senior M&A executives conducted by law firm White & Case LLP found dealmakers are optimistic about the outlook for M&A activity, with three-quarters saying they expect M&A activity to increase in their region in the coming year.
Security Think Tank: CNI operators are in an unenviable position
/by RedSealComputer Weekly | March 15, 2021
The operators of critical national infrastructure (CNI) are in an unenviable position, between the devil and the deep blue sea, as two very different worlds collide.
Most critical infrastructure was built up over a century or more of careful, incremental steps by civil engineers, and they focused on the primary threat they faced – lack of availability. If you deliver power, water, or anything else that lives depend on, you focus your attention on making sure the service is never interrupted.
You think through scenarios such as natural disasters, extreme weather, even longer-term risks such as climate change. It’s always you against Murphy’s Law – you assume each element will eventually fail, and so you build in double or triple redundancy.

As military and civilian capabilities increasing rely on space-based assets, Berenice Healey asks space and cybersecurity experts about the potential effects of a cyberattack against them and how to offer protection….
Fragile networks
“As the network increases in scale, it gets further and further beyond human comprehension – too many interacting parts, any one of which could be breached by an attacker and used as a foothold for further spread.”
Improving Cloud Security With Segmentation And Automation

by Mike Lloyd
As a security professional, I tried for several years to keep IoT devices out of my house. However, my anti-IoT crusade just isn’t working anymore. Why? Because, as I’ve discovered, you really have to go to extreme measures to find non-IoT devices for your home. Whether it’s an irrigation system for your lawn, a new alarm system or even solar panels for your roof, just about every home accessory now comes with a prominent IoT footprint.

Security in a Complex World
/by RedSealDark Reading | February 3, 2021
By Bryan Barney
In 1999, security technologist Bruce Schneier published “A Plea for Simplicity.” In the blog, he famously wrote, “You can’t secure what you don’t understand” and “the worst enemy of security is complexity.” Schneier explained that analyzing a system’s security becomes more difficult as its complexity increases. His goal was to convince the technology sector to “slow down, simplify, and try to add security.”
More than 20 years later, Schneier’s plea seems naïve and even quaint. Innovation has become a force of nature; it will neither stop nor slow down. More innovation means more features, which inherently means more complexity. We all want secure systems, but no one is willing to slow the march of progress to make that happen.
