With 2020 coming to an end, we’ve released our 2021 cyber security
predictions report, videos with our senior leaders and more. Our host,
Luke McNamara asked General Earl Matthews, VP, Strategy for Mandiant
Security Validation to join him on 'Eye on Security' to discuss what
we can expect in the cyber space heading into a new year based on the
threat activity we’ve seen recently.
Ransomware isn’t going away any time soon, so Luke asked General
Matthews how he’s seen executives react to this new type of threat and
if that has impacted how they think of security. We also explore the
increasing risk ransomware poses to operational technology based on
some of the ransomware campaigns we have seen this year.
We also talk in depth about third-party risk—a risk that’s been around
for a long time, but that we’ll see increasingly exploited by threat
actors. General Matthews also shared some personal stories about his
time as a CISO that you won’t want to miss.
General Matthews and Luke finish their chat with an interesting look
at which industries have adopted security validation and the benefits
of this solution for providing proof of security effectiveness.
