036 Dispelling Cybersecurity Myths

In this episode, we have a conversation with Gavin Reid, chief security architect at Recorded Future. Before joining Recorded Future, he helped design the systems that protect organizations like NASA, Cisco, and Fidelity. We’ll get his take on the state of the industry, and why he believes there are a number of cybersecurity myths that are in need of being dispelled, including the notion that companies need to “do more with less.” Are boards of directors finally getting up to speed and recognizing the realities of their defensive postures? What are some of the most effective ways to make sure the basics are being taken care of, all while managing the practical challenges of the busy day-to-day demands of a modern corporate environment? The tools are available, according to Reid. The trick is knowing how to best implement them.
