Show Notes
The Big Themes:
- Wake-up call for boards and C-Suites: What do we hear from victims? “We didn’t think we’d be a target.”
- In our emerging acceleration economy: Firms can’t afford the lost time, the lost revenue/added costs, the hit to reputation a successful attack causes.
- Firms must do six things well: Robust prevention, quick detection, defense in depth, keeping secrets secret, effective repair/restoration, and not keeping your eggs in one basket.
- Manage systemic risk, not just cybersecurity: If someone can waltz in and unplug the firewall, are you secure?
The Big Quotes:
“There's a John Chambers quote that I've used before. There are two kinds of companies: those that have been hacked, and those they don't know that they've been hacked.”
“And if you're an executive and you had trouble understanding that, listen again, because nothing I said is very technical.”
“If your systems are cruddy and 15 years old and not connected, you might be in a full-time hygiene mode.”
