Global Marketing Alliance | May 1, 2018 

By Ray Rothrock, Chief Executive Officer

It might be a grim necessity and a tiresome back-office expense, but tackling cyber security by creating digital resilience should be viewed not as a cost, but as an investment, says Ray Rothrock.

American Dreams | April 5, 2018

By Ray Rothrock, Chief Executive Officer

No one is immune to hacking- including systems not connected to the internet. No matter how much budget to pour into cyber security, its only a matter of time until your company is hacked. This is a principle that we’ve seen emerging in recent years. How should companies respond when they are under attack? How can they mitigate the damage and protect their most sensitive information?

Ray Rothrock is a veteran in the cyber industry and emphasizes in his new book, Digital Resilience, that it’s not enough for a company to have heavy barriers of defense- the hackers will still get inside, what companies need to focus on today is resilience.

Russia behind compromise of seven states’ voter registration systems

/by

SC Magazine | Feb 28, 2018

During the waning days of his administration after he’d order a probe into election interference, the intelligence community reportedly told former President Barack Obama that Russian hackers had compromised voter registration systems or websites in seven states and, though the states were told of the breaches, the administration didn’t divulge who had orchestrated them.

…

“Russia – or any bad actor – only needs to find one open door to get into a state’s network. Considering how complex these networks are – with employees on mobile devices, working remotely, etc. – it’s no wonder they snuck in,” said RedSeal CEO Ray Rothrock, author of the book “Digital Resilience: Is Your Company Ready for the Next Cyber Threat?”

ASME | Feb 22, 2018

By Ray Rothrock, Chief Executive Officer

Entrepreneurs are everywhere today—from Silicon Valley to incubators and tech hubs around the world. While many startups are in tech, others involve engineers who use digital tools and 3-D printing to invent new products or reinvent existing ones. So, what should potential entrepreneurs consider before leaping?

Defense Department’s Secret Weapon for Network Security

/by

Nextgov | Jan 30, 2018

By Ray Rothrock, Chief Executive Officer

I have something potentially wildly unpopular to suggest: If you work for or run an organization that deals with human beings and the data that goes with them, and if you are concerned about the security of that data, look to the Defense Department for a solution.

The federal government, which has suffered some high-profile breaches recently, is notably tight-lipped about its cybersecurity strategies, but Defense has been instructive on the topic. The department operates in an environment in which cyberattacks are a persistent threat and as a result, its approach is very different from civilian agencies and many private-sector businesses—and far more successful.
