Episode Notes

Steering Through the Cybersecurity Evolution: Adapting to the Changing Tides of InfoSec

In this special edition of the Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast on the ITSPmagazine Podcast Network, hosts Sean and Marco navigate the complex universe of cybersecurity with a panel of experts, including Yolanda Reid, Laura Payne, Cat Self, Rob Black, Chuck Brooks, George Platsis, and Matthew Rosenquist. The conversation weaves together threads of technology, AI, geopolitics, and the shifting role of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) into a rich narrative that illuminates the challenges and opportunities in the cybersecurity landscape.

Cat Self shines a light on the increasing visibility of cyber threats on underrepresented platforms like Linux and MacOS, while Yolanda Reid emphasizes the role of community involvement in cybersecurity. Matthew Rosenquist discusses the challenges posed by legacy systems in Operational Technology (OT) networks, painting a picture of a landscape filled with potential vulnerabilities.

Rob Black advocates for a more proactive approach to cybersecurity, suggesting a chess-like strategy of using deception to shape attacker behavior. Laura Payne explores the evolving role of the CISO, suggesting that this role is expanding like an ever-growing universe, now including geopolitical trends and threat intelligence. George Platsis brings his experience in disaster and emergency management to the discussion, adding another layer to the intricate tapestry of this conversation.

This expert panel also discusses the potential implications of high-profile court cases involving CISOs, suggesting that these cases could redefine the role and responsibilities of CISOs, much like how a software update can redefine the functionality of a system. The conversation also touches on the increasing involvement of state actors in cyber attacks and the potential for these attacks to target critical infrastructure, painting a sobering picture of the potential future of cybersecurity.

The panel decided to close on a positive note, with each of the panelists and the hosts sharing some good news predictions for 2024. Not sure how the pants, the rat, and the roaches come into play there — let's just say it all works out somehow.
