This week's podcast episode of the CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast
We're Selling Your Data at Unbeatable Prices
Co-host Mike Johnson, CISO of Lyft, and our guest Suzie Smibert, CISO, Finning International, discuss the following:
Recognize that our public attitude towards privacy has changed. As we're all reeling from the abhorrent behavior of Facebook, realize that Google was making some of the very same mistakes. All that's changed are our sensitivities towards digital privacy. What was cool regarding data collection a few years ago, isn't anymore.
No one cares if your security was developed in the military. It simply doesn't impress a CISO. Stop referring to InfoSec technology as being military-grade. What works in the military doesn't necessarily work for a company's business.
Facebook's 'move fast and break things' motto doesn't really fly anymore. For far too long Facebook has operated under the 'we can screw up and they'll eventually forgive us' policy. The community is no longer happy with this. Yet with all the community outrage, Facebook's stock continues to soar. Will people eventually become fed up and leave?

This week's episode of Defense in Depth
Privacy
On this episode of Defense in Depth:
Co-host Allan Alford, CISO of Mitel, and our sponsored guest Chris Jordan, CEO, Fluency Security, talk about:
While new privacy regulations may hamper a company's ability to collect and sell any data they want, they don't necessarily stifle the economy (e.g., HIPAA).
DuckDuckGo is a search engine that doesn't collect your browsing history to determine your search results.
Even if you are very protective of your data, the people around you probably aren't. Through relationships and triangulation, a profile of you, sans your personal data, can still be created.
Because of this ability to triangulate data, your employees' personal data, outside of work can become a risk to your company.
Special thanks to this week's Defense in Depth podcast sponsor, Fluency Security.
