Are you sure you know what a Botnet is? What about the difference between Cloud-Based and Cloud-Enabled Security? Do you know the difference between Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and a Difference Engine?
Could you explain the difference between a DoS and DDoS attack to your CFO? Could you make her care that there is a difference? Should Americans care about GDPR? Do they even know what that is?
There’s a lot going on in the terms we use in the cybersecurity world. We don’t just have to make the solutions that protect our users and prevent attacks from happening, we have to communicate what we are doing in a way that users and their organizations can understand.
In this episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson sits down with proud pager-wearing millennial Brian Fanzo to talk about the critical role effective communications plays in cybersecurity and in the larger business world. With a social media following well over 100,000 and over 150 episodes of his two podcasts published, it is fair to say that Brian Fanzo knows a bit about the value of communicating.
