CEO’s Overconfidence in Cybersecurity Could be their Undoing
/by RedSealINFO SECURITY MAGAZINE | 13 December 2016
CEOs’ overconfidence in their organization’s ability to deflect attacks could be exposing global firms to greater cyber risk, according to new research from RedSeal.
The cybersecurity analytics firm interviewed 200 CEOs of global firms, and found over 80% were very confident in their cybersecurity strategy.
This is despite data breach incidents soaring in 2016. In the US alone there have been nearly 1,000 reported incidents this year, leading to the exposure of 35 million records, according to the Identity Theft Resource Center.
In the UK, government figures from May claimed that two-thirds of large firms had been hit with a cyber attack or breach in the past 12 months.

Goodby SIEM, Hello SOAPA
/by RedSealNETWORK WORLD | November 29, 2016
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems have been around for a dozen years or so. During that timeframe, SIEMs evolved from perimeter security event correlation tools to GRC platforms to security analytics systems. Early vendors such as eSecurity, GuardedNet, Intellitactics and NetForensics are distant memories. Today’s SIEM market is now dominated by a few leaders: LogRhythm, McAfee (aka: Nitro Security), HP (aka: ArcSight), IBM (aka: QRadar) and Splunk.

RedSeal: Digital Gatekeeper
/by RedSealRED HERRING | November 1, 2016
As our use of technology has evolved, so have the threats that can derail and even destroy a business or even a country. Remember December 2013 when credit card information from 40 million users were stolen a few days before Christmas in a major attack on Target? Or the power outage (allegedly triggered by Russia) which lasted six to nine hours in the Ukraine during Christmas season last year? Cyber attacks are more of a threat to companies and governments today than they were yesterday, and will become even more so tomorrow.
Ray Rothrock: A Venture Capitalist with a Cause
/by RedSealRED HERRING | November 1, 2016
Most venture capitalists embrace the career after a stint as a banker, CEO, or tech executive. Then the average tenure as a VC spans over 15 years, during which they groom two new startups per year, and enjoy the lifestyle attached to that profession. Eventually they retire, often rich, and “vanish to the sunset” as John Fisher, the founder of Draper Fisher elegantly puts it. Few would have anticipated that Ray Rothrock, would have gone the other way, and reversed from a successful quarter century role at Venrock, the famous Rockefeller venture firm, to spearhead a then fledgling start up as his last assignment in his professional journey.
