Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast CISO David Lindner | 5/5

Insight #1

"An HBR article was written about boards and cyber security of which I agree. Cyber security is a hot topic in the board room and the discussions typically focus on Protection, aka what tools and processes have we employed to protect the company. However, that discussion should be on resilience and how quickly we can recover from a successful attack. Discuss risks, threats, and recovery from them."
 

Insight #2

"The simplicity of the first draft of the secure software implementation attestation form by CISA and OMB is refreshing. I do worry about organizations answering the provenance question, but the rest is spot on."
 

Insight #3

"ChatGPT confirmed a data breach this week due to an insecure third-party library being used. The more eyes on a system, the more likely that system is to be attacked."
