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 the financial services realm, fraudsters resort to account takeovers, complex transaction models, and even shell entities to bypass security measures.The discussion also highlights the ever-evolving world of fraud, emphasizing the need for businesses and industries to leverage advanced technologies, like AI and machine learning, to stay ahead of the curve and protect themselves from these sophisticated threats.

He explains that GDPR was a significant milestone that helped companies focus on data protection, even though it may have initially seemed like overkill. Marquez emphasizes that striking a balance between business needs and regulatory requirements is crucial.Maria D'Avanzo shares her experience of implementing privacy programs at Cushman. She notes that GDPR was a key factor in driving organizations to prioritize privacy as a standalone function. D'Avanzo also discusses the challenges of navigating between business goals and data protection requirements, emphasizing the importance of having an appropriate privacy program in place.Sean Martin raises questions about the current state of privacy and data protection, wondering if companies have mastered GDPR or if there's still room for improvement. Both D'Avanzo and Marquez agree that the mindset towards data privacy in the U.S. still has a long way to go before it reaches the level of awareness seen in Europe.The conversation also touches on the role of board members in addressing privacy concerns, the potential impact of new legislation, and the challenges smaller companies face in implementing security and privacy measures. They explore the importance of looking at data privacy from a risk perspective, making it relatable for decision-makers, and ensuring appropriate measures are in place.____________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist📺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllQZ9kSG7X7grrP_PsH3q3T3ITSPmagazine 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-podcastWatch the webcast version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllS9aVGdiakVss9u7xgYDKYqAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network
