Shoving Money Down Security's Bottomless Pit
What you'll learn:
On this week's podcast, co-host Mike Johnson, CISO of Lyft, and our guest Allan Alford, CISO of Mitel, discuss the following:
2019 will be the year of CCPA. Put a time limit on a regulation and you'll see both consumers and vendors drastically change focus. The last two years drove attention to GDPR, This year will show increased interest in privacy thanks to the California Consumer Privacy Act which will go in effect on January 1, 2010.
Focus on the intersection of risk and money. Business and security are aligned as they are both dealing with risk. Make the business own security, not the CISO.
Money doesn't make things secure. Those who think that security can be handled with point solutions in a one-off process also believe problems can be solved purely through money.
Long-term security campaign. If you think about security as an ongoing issue, it becomes an ongoing campaign that gets incrementally better. Think seat belt and anti-smoking campaigns. Those two haven't been eradicated, but they have improved. To keep people in line, you'll need to keep showing small wins.
When IT and security are and aren't different. Whether IT should be construed as security depends on how you define IT. Some organizations that are completely based in cloud computing, such as on AWS instances, don't even think they have an IT department.
