Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast CISO David Lindner | 3/24

Insight #1

"Cybersecurity is no longer just a CISO or CIO problem, it’s a business problem. It’s time for cybersecurity to be a topic of conversation at every board meeting."

 

Insight #2

"CISA alerts to many newly discovered vulnerabilities in Industrial Control Systems (ICS). These systems typically run out of date software and are extremely difficult to update, a malicious actor’s playground. I love the government’s focus on keeping ICS and critical infrastructure secure."
 

Insight #3

"My top three measurements to determine the success of our security program are; Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR), Vulnerability Escape Rate (VER), and the number of attacks detected. What are yours?"
