Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast CISO David Lindner | 8/11

By David Lindner, Chief Information Security Officer

August 11, 2023

Insight #1

 The Biden Administration's requirement for SBOMs has driven more and more organizations (76%) to have SBOM plans. This is a great step in the right direction toward transparency.
 

Insight #2

Banning ransomware payments at the federal level is all the talk. If nothing else, it will push cyber security to the forefront and requirement the security burden to be distributed to the likes of the CEO and the board instead of always falling back on the CISO.
 

Insight #3

The US is calling on cyber security pros to help develop AI-based security tooling. Malicious actors are already using AI, why shouldn’t the protectors start using it?
