Clearance Sale: All Security Gaps Must Go!
This week's episode of Defense in Depth
Cyber Defense Matrix
On this episode of Defense in Depth:
Co-host Allan Alford and our guest Sounil Yu, the creator of the Cyber Defense Matrix, and former chief security scientist for Bank of America, discussed:
The Cyber Defense Matrix's original purpose was to understand the vendor landscape.
Users have found lots more uses for the matrix, such as seeing those same gaps in technology, people, and processes.
By visualizing, you can see also where you have too much and you can actually get rid of technologies.
The matrix provides structural awareness of your vulnerabilities.
The matrix admittedly gets a little wonky when cloud technologies are introduced. They often bleed across categories, not neatly fitting into any specific buckets.
Special thanks to this week's Defense in Depth podcast sponsor, Verodin.
The Verodin Security Instrumentation Platform proactively identifies gaps in security effectiveness attributable to equipment misconfiguration, changes in the IT environment, evolving attacker tactics, and more. Learn how Verodin, part of FireEye, has made it possible for organizations to validate the effectiveness of cyber security controls, thereby protecting their reputation and economic value.
