When was the last time you changed any of your passwords? Have you ever accidentally sent or received sensitive corporate information? Ever walk away from your computer without locking the screen?
Threats don’t always come from the outside, and sometimes the biggest risks are not from malicious actors, but from innocent mistakes made by trusted insiders. Is training the answer? Is changing the corporate culture the right way to go?
Seems like simple stuff; however, if you are the Deputy CISO of a cybersecurity company, it is your job to make sure that your co-workers are all maintaining the highest levels of operational security.
On this week’s episode of DirtySecurity, Edward Preston takes a stroll with Cylance Deputy Chief Information and Security Officer, Steve Mancini. Steve walks Edward through many of the minefields a CISO must face in order to protect a company.
