Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast CISO David Lindner | 3/10

Insight #1

"SBOMs provide basic visibility and transparency into your application’s stack. Providing SBOMs should be standard for any software producer."
 

Insight #2

"The tech industry is fast to adopt some of the new AI functionality provided by ChatGPT, Google, Microsoft, and others. I do think AI will play a role, but as of now it is still extremely inaccurate and could create even more security problems than we have today. My advice is to embrace it, but not blindly."
 

Insight #3

"Email is over 50 years old, and it is still one of the most used ways to communicate AND to propagate malicious attacks. Phishing continues to plague the world. and like 75% of other CISOs, I believe there will be a serious email-born attack in the next year."
