Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast CISO David Lindner | 7/28

Insight #1 

A recent report by Cohesity sees the top three things being required for cyber insurance coverage as being “strong encryption,” backup integrity and multifactor authentication (MFA). If you have implemented all three well, your security posture will be decently set to prevent or mitigate the breach from a cyberattack.

Insight #2

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and others continue to scrutinize generative artificial intelligence (AI). The genie is out of the bottle, and it's time the Large Language Model (LLM) creators come together to build in security and privacy controls.

Insight #3

At what point do we realize that Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) do not necessarily imply risk to your organization? The number of false positives a security team deals with daily (~80 new CVEs per day) is not sustainable. Let’s fix this problem.
