Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast CISO David Lindner | 1/20

Insight #1

"Being a great security leader takes empathy and an ability to make hard decisions. It is not someone who just says no to everything. We can do better as an industry."
 

Insight #2

"New this week was the release of a $45 million cyber catastrophe bond targeted at an extreme loss (up to $300 million) in a cyber breach. It is yet another level in cyber insurance. I hope these cyber insurers don’t keep organizations from doing the things they need to never have to utilize their insurance, only time will tell."
 

Insight #3

"It’s time to start requiring third parties you do business with have cyber insurance. Cybercrime and nation-state attacks will continue to increase and businesses must protect themselves."
