Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast CISO David Lindner | 2/9

Insight #1

"The recent State of the Union address by President Joe Biden was very light on anything cyber security related. This was a prime opportunity to make sure everyone knows how important the new government cyber security initiatives are."
 

Insight #2

"What pains me is doing something, enabling something, disabling something, just to check the box, but most of the security world is in a check-the-box mindset. When can we break free from this cycle?"
 

Insight #3

"Tech is losing an astonishing number of jobs, and with that goes unknown processes, unknown checks and balances, and other things these employees used to do to help keep things secure or in compliance. Malicious actors are sure to take advantage of this as 2023 moves along. What are you missing now that many have departed?"
