Why People Are Not the Biggest Risk

Send us Fan MailWhile I’ll resist drawing comparisons about industrial cybersecurity to butterflies and bees, producing this episode did remind me of another great Muhammad Ali quote: "The hands can't hit what the eyes can't see.”This could provide an easy segue into the ongoing challenges about asset visibility, but really, it goes a bit deeper than that. In addition to being able to see all the things we need to defend against, we also have to understand what to look for in establishing those defenses. In this episode, we discuss  these challenges and solutions with Bryson Bort, the founder and CEO of SCYTHE, a leading provider of Adversarial Exposure Validation (AEV) solutions. Watch/listen as we also discuss:The increasing impact of hacktivists.The rise of ransomware gangs.What AEV is all about.Why there is no such thing as an accidental hack.The human impact on cybersecurity and why it is rarely the human's fault.How his former military life has impacted his cybersecurity career.Why supply chains could be the most important threat landscape going forward.To check out the work he and his colleagues are up to, you can go to scythe.io, as well as icsvillage.com.As a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.
