In this episode, we sit down with James Blake, Vice President, Global Cyber Resiliency Strategy at Cohesity, as he shares his insights on assessing and building organizational cyber resilience. James emphasizes the importance of pragmatism and preparedness, urging companies to address their weakest resiliency links rather than over-focusing on a single area or relying entirely on technology for prevention and detection. He discusses the growing sophistication of cyber threats, particularly ransomware and wiper attacks, and highlights the need for a shared responsibility model between IT and security teams. James leads cyber resilience strategy at Cohesity. He brings extensive hands-on experience in leading incident response in dozens of ransomware and wiper incidents; as the former CISO of Mimecast and Global Director of Cyber Transformation at JPMorgan Chase; and having led a consultancy practice that built the end-to-end security operation center capability for over 91 organizations including over two dozen in the FORTUNE 100.
