The news about cybercrime is overwhelming to those who fight to secure our organizations. Cybercrime organizations are sophisticated and constantly changing. But there’s a hidden truth in cybercrime attacks: cybercriminals exploit the same weaknesses they’ve been exploiting for years. This should give us some hope; we know where our organizations are weakest, which gives us a good place to start. But these weaknesses are often hard to address. They require not just technical solutions, but a lot of thought, coordination, planning, and continual re-evaluation. Most often thought of as technical problems, compliance frameworks provide a solid starting point for properly framing the thought, coordination, planning, and continual re-evaluation that is necessary. Our guest, Terry McGraw will walk us through these solutions and the support that compliance frameworks provide to ensure continued success. Terry is a retired Lieutenant Colonel from the United States Army and now serves the CEO of Cape Endeavors, Inc, with over 20 years of providing expertise in cyber security threat analysis, security architectural design, network operations and incident response for both commercial and government sectors.
