Listen & Learn Podcast #1: What makes Cybersecurity critical now...
Given the 68% increase in data compromise between 2020 and 2021 and sharing similar unsettling statistics, Rob makes clear how the attack surface is becoming bigger, thereby more vulnerable and with many more opportunities for loss.
Data is becoming a more vital factor thanks to digital transformation, increased cloud, and more remote work. Those changes make for more data and data management applications, and more utilization by more individuals in more positions with more various responsibilities. Rob explores how this makes for a steeper learning curve for functions and individuals in literally every size company. He shares his ideas as to how organizations can approach that learning curve in the most efficient and effective way.
We offer this and all future Listen & Learn podcasts in a quick, easy-to-digest format offering up-to-date and relevant facts to help you make valuable L&D decisions.

Eager for listener feedback, I have 3 questions:
1. Did you learn anything new from Rob's interview? Facts? Concepts? Processes? Other?
2. Did you disagree with any part of the podcast?
3. Did you think of follow-up you would like to this podcast? Podcast? Blog post? Other?

Hey Tim - It was great sitting down with you virtually!
Two points I may not have covered in the conversation is that the NIST CSF is more than just a set of key processes. I find those 5 processes incredibly helpful in discussing cybersecurity in a more broad sense, but the framework also includes guidance around adoption tiers, assessing alignment as well as profiling for known outcomes which is incredibly helpful.
The other is that while I specifically mentioned "Identify" in relation to identifying key data, services, applications, identifying risk in your environment and where you are exposed is equally important.
Security is truly an end to end process and you really have to take holistic approach to it and to me at least that all starts with education. But I might be slightly biased.
Thanks again for the time and look forward to the discussion.
Rob
