Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast
Hosted by Sean Martin, CISSP
Have you ever thought that we are selling cybersecurity insincerely, buying it indiscriminately, and deploying it ineffectively?
For cybersecurity to be genuinely effective, we must make it consumable and usable. We must also bring transparency and honesty to the conversations surrounding the methods, services, and technologies upon which businesses rely. If we are going to protect what matters and bring value to our companies, our communities, and our society, in a secure and safe way, we must begin by operationalizing security.
Executives are recognizing the importance of their investments in information security and the value it can have on business growth, brand value, partner trust, and customer loyalty.
Together with executives, lines of business owners, and practitioners, we are Redefining CyberSecurity.

In contrast, Dinis cites the potential of AI to make SIEMs more productive by cleaning up data, reducing noise, and improving signal value. They discuss the issues of handling vast data sets, the potential for AI to help identify and manage anomalies, and how to create learning environments within SIEM. However, concerns were also raised regarding false positives, trust issues with AI and the significant computational costs to implement and maintain these AI systems.Key Questions Explored:Does AI belong in SIEM systems?What potential does AI bring to SIEM?What are the potential issues with implementing and maintaining AI in SIEM?___________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist:📺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllS9aVGdiakVss9u7xgYDKYqITSPmagazine YouTube Channel:📺 https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!___________________________ResourcesInspiring LinkedIn Post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mick-douglas_first-let-me-be-really-clear-for-the-near-activity-7146143942739124224-a4vl/Inspiring Twitter Post: https://twitter.com/bettersafetynet/status/1740370001973154010___________________________To see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network

Weiss shares his experiences and insights from the frontlines of this intersection between cybersecurity and physical infrastructure.The conversation reveals a significant gap between the cybersecurity and engineering worlds. Weiss highlights how cybersecurity professionals often focus on protecting servers and data, while overlooking the physical infrastructure that supports those servers. This disconnect, Weiss argues, can lead to significant operational issues, including the shutdown of major data centers due to control system cyber issues misidentified as mechanical failures.Weiss presents a riveting case study of a billion-dollar manufacturing facility that was unknowingly suffering a 3% hit on net productivity. This was due to malfunctions in sensors and systems that were not detected by the facility's operational displays. The issue was only discovered when the raw physics of sensor readings were examined, emphasizing the need for a more comprehensive approach to cybersecurity.Weiss further discusses the potential consequences of these overlooked vulnerabilities, including the disruption of critical services like air conditioning, power, and water supply. He stresses that these are not just issues for private entities but can impact every government operation, and consequently, our way of life.The conversation concludes with Weiss advocating for an integrated approach to cybersecurity, one that connects security to operations and safety. He sees education as a key part of the solution, calling for more cross-disciplinary learning and collaboration between the fields of computer science and engineering.This episode is a deep dive into the complexities of cybersecurity and the urgent need for a paradigm shift in its approach. Listeners will gain valuable insights into the critical intersection of cybersecurity and physical infrastructure, making this a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of cybersecurity.___________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist:📺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllS9aVGdiakVss9u7xgYDKYqITSPmagazine YouTube Channel:📺 https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!___________________________Resources___________________________To see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network
