What Does It Cost to Prove Security Is Working?
Andy Ellis, operating partner, YL Ventures and I welcome guest John McClure, CISO, Sinclair Broadcast Group to discuss:
What’s your best indicator that your security program is actually improving?
We examine certifications and separate myth from reality for those trying to get into cybersecurity and also for more seasoned professionals.
What security flaw often gets overlooked?
How does one go about asking for a team building budget for a remote team?

What I love about cyber security...
"
Yeah, I think what I love most is really the challenge, how quickly the field is moving. Every day is a different challenge. It’s very different from some other fields where you’re really competing against yourself every day. With cyber, you’ve got somebody on the other side of the keyboard, sometimes halfway around the world, that you got to outthink and play an interesting game of chess with." --John McClure, CISO, Sinclair Broadcast Group

Overheard on Defense in Depth
"We developed something we call our personal trust stance and have used that each year. We use it with the interns when they come in, we use it routinely throughout the year with our employees and reinforce – now’s a good time to take an inventory of your assets, your access, and the assurances you have in place for your personal stuff. Do you have MFA set up? Are you making sure you’re changing your passwords and that they’re long and unique and complicated? Are you putting controls in place so that there’s limitations on what transfers can be made from your financials? Making sure that people are thinking about that, this is how it applies personally, and it’s easier to then think about why that is also important in the office." -- Lisa Kubicki, trust and security, training and awareness director, DocuSign
