ISF Podcast

Today’s episode is the first of two interviews with Steve Durbin in discussion with journalist Nick Witchell. Today they discuss cybersecurity in the current geopolitical moment. Steve looks at the current security landscape in that context, and touches on how security leaders can help guide their organisations in these turbulent times. Key Takeaways: 1. Boards and CISOs need to be ready to step in with the necessary mitigation measures when increased cyber risks manifest themselves and when they are related to geopolitical tensions. 2. Social media presents real advantages, but when it comes to information, users must diligently consider the source. 3. Business leaders have many opportunities to learn from one another and gain supports as they move into the future. Tune in to hear more about: 1. Nick Witchell asks Steve Durbin about companies’ overall readiness to address cyber risks in a global context. (4:07) 2. Steve Durbin reflects on misinformation and disinformation in the age of social media. (7:19) 3. Where business leaders can find support. (11:00) Standout Quotes: 1. “There is, I think, probably two things that give me real comfort that we're moving in the right direction. The first thing is that there is an understanding now in the boardroom, that these things are material, and that they have to pay attention to them. And secondly, there is an enthusiasm in the boardroom to be involved in that, because they understand the implications on the things that they measure: risk, market cap, shareholders, and so on. So I think we're in probably a much better place to deal with some of these challenges this year than perhaps when we last spoke 12 months ago.” - Steve Durbin 2. “Personally, what I like to do is to take a number of different data points. So don't become over reliant on one particular feed, because again, within the social media space, if you think about it, you tend to lead always to people who are perhaps of a similar mind to yourself. And I think in the sorts of times that we're in at the moment, it's very important for everybody to try and get a balanced perspective, a balanced view.” - Steve Durbin 3. “ I think if I were to sum up the major role of the ISF at the moment, it's in that one word, support.” - Steve Durbin Mentioned in this episode: Threat Intelligence: React and prepare Rehearsing Your Cyber Incident Response Capability During Periods of Instability CISOs Role During Periods of Instability ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

At the 2023 ISF Congress in Rotterdam, Steve sits down with keynote speaker Beau Lotto. Beau holds his PhD in Cellular and Molecular Developmental Neuroscience, and he teaches organizations how to apply scientific truths about perception to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing world. He has helped brands like Cirque du Soleil, Microsoft and L’oreal gain valuable, science-backed insights into their businesses and customers. Beau talks to Steve about how security leaders can change their way of being to effect change at their organisations, and he offers practical ways of incorporating play and diversity to improve team outcomes. Key Takeaways: 1. Business leaders have a unique role when it comes to establishing business culture. 2. What you do is your function; what you are about is your business. 3. Authenticity is critical for buy in, and buy in is critical for success. 4. Seemingly small changes in initial conditions are powerful and can yield massive results. 5. Embracing uncertainty is a winning strategy, and it can be fun. Tune in to hear more about: 1. The Host Effect (1:40) 2. Measuring Relevance (3:15) 3. Leading with Authenticity (8:55) 4. Transforming Initial Conditions (12:00) 5. Play as a Mindset (14:30) Standout Quotes: 1. “... have you noticed that the personality of the party is very much the personality of the host? … it's because the brain infects and is infected by other people.” 2. “Your business is how and why are you relevant … what we do with my Lab of Misfits is we then measure their actual relevance on the audience. So we, in that case, we would measure the brain activity of the people during the performance, what happened to people before and after. So now what they can do is take ownership of what we call the human truth of value that they're actually in the business of.” 3. “You can be authentic in any situation … You don't need others to shape that for you; that's intrinsic within you. And that gives you that sense of being proactive, which is essential in times of uncertainty, which is what we're facing all the time.” 4. “...if you look at, say, the initial conditions of the solar system, you have Mars, let’s take Mars. If you were to alter its proximity to the Sun by one millimeter, make it a little one millimeter closer, in 10% of models the whole solar system collapses. If you take Mars and put it one millimeter further away, in 10% of the models the whole cell system explodes and goes off into space … so small change in the initial conditions can have massive transformative effects.” 5. “... play is actually an evolved brain state where we actually choose uncertainty. We don't avoid it. We actually want it. It's not that we hate it, but we're going to turn down our loathing of it. We actually seek it out. Right? And you know, not knowing who's going to win the Rugby World Cup is why it's fun to watch.” Mentioned in this episode: Leadership Insights: Unlocking the business value of security ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.
