The Latest Unnecessary Stats on Marginal Security Threats
What you'll learn:
On this week's podcast, co-host Mike Johnson, CISO of Lyft, and our sponsored guest Yaniv Bar-Dayan, CEO, Vulcan Cyber, discuss the following:
Leaders must earn respect daily. Since anyone, regardless of title, can command respect, you can't rely on your title alone to do the job for you. Leaders must consistently build trust so that employees always look to them first for help.
Don't lose trust as you grow. A fast-growing company can be susceptible to leaders losing visibility in employees and vice versa. To avoid falling into that trap, startups can encourage criticism and commit to transparency.
There's a reason we keep recommending you focus on the basics. Many of the most common security problems result from poor configurations. In addition, security vendors, in an effort to sell their product, often push potential buyers to focus on marginal security events.
Vulnerability management needs to be a company-wide issue. Vulnerability management is far from a solved problem. This dreaded task is often relegated to security where it should be managed as a normal business practice.
Enterprises need to learn how to work with startups. Large companies often work at a snail's pace, which does not work well for a startup that needs to prove its value quickly and constantly. Understanding there's plenty of value in security startups, some of the largest companies have divisions purposefully setup to shorten the time to proof of concepts (POCs).
