Oracle’s Autonomous Cloud Security Claims Met with Skepticism
/by RedSealDataCenter Knowledge | September 25, 2019
Last week, Oracle co-founder and CTO Larry Ellison claimed that Oracle’s new autonomous systems will eliminate all data breaches. Not everyone’s buying it….
Mike Lloyd, CTO of cybersecurity vendor RedSeal, called Oracle’s latest promises an example of “hyperbolic marketing.”
“People find clouds inherently confusing, not least when trying to understand who is responsible for what,” he said. “Of course, if you think your cloud vendor is responsible for some aspect of security, but they think you’re responsible for it, then you’re on a road to a bad place.”
SC Media Reboot Leadership Awards: Ray Rothrock – RedSeal
/by RedSealSC Magazine | September 23, 2019
Why Nominated: Having spent decades leading and advising both technology and information security companies, Rothrock knows that cybersecurity for any organization goes well beyond just deploying and managing strong technologies. It’s also about strategically thinking about security needs holistically top down. And, for him, this means that since every entity is a “cyber organization,” the related risks they face are a CEO and board-level responsibility. With this foundation in mind, Rothrock works well beyond the confines of his office, reaching out practitioners, C-level executives, government leaders and even average citizens through a bevy of activities and ventures.

Cyber attacks threaten security of 2020 election
/by RedSealThe Mercury News | September 15, 2019
Following the 2016 elections, investigators found evidence that Russian hackers successfully infiltrated the computerized voting systems of several states. Hackers also stole data from campaigns and weaponized social media polarizing the electorate against and for certain candidates. All of this undermines the trust we all place in the United States’ election system. There is nothing more powerful in a democratic country than a legitimate election. Unchecked, these actions and future similar future actions against our elections are a significant danger to our democracy. It’s clear we’ll be facing similar threats in the 2020 election cycle.
Intelligent CISO: Security in the data centre
/by RedSealIntelligent CISO | Issue 17 / Page 50
Ensuring the data centre is secure should be a top priority for CISOs as the consequences of a breach could be catastrophic. Industry experts from Vectra and RedSeal outline some of the biggest cyber-risks to data centres and offer their advice on how to ensure this critical infrastructure is protected.
“When thinking about risks to data centres, I’m reminded of an old bank robber story – when asked why he robbed banks, he replied ‘because that’s where the money is’. It’s always good to think like an attacker,” said Dr. Mike Lloyd, RedSeal CTO.
Cybersecurity is Failing—Time for a Reset?
/by RedSealBlog InfoSec | August 26, 2019
Ray Rothrock of Redseal suggests that increasingly sophisticated attacks require fast response and victim organizations should not cover them up. He said that prevention requires security guidelines and education. He also advises making Boards of Directors accountable, as with Sarbanes-Oxley, but dilutes his suggestion because he believes that fewer individuals will take on the responsibility.
A dismal industry: The unsustainable burden of cybersecurity
/by RedSealZDNet | August 2, 2019
Ray Rothrock, chairman of RedSeal, said that total protection is impossible because attacks will be ever more sophisticated. He believes the best response is a fast response: Catch the attack and close it down as quickly as possible. And report it — don’t cover it up.
UK CEOs’ Cyber Ignorance Costing Firms Dear
/by RedSealInfosecurity Magazine | July 17, 2019
A lack of CEO awareness and engagement with cybersecurity could be placing their organizations at unnecessary risk of attack, according to new findings from RedSeal.
The security vendor polled over 500 IT professionals in the UK to better understand the cyber-risks posed by business leaders.
Over half (54%) said they don’t believe their CEO follows correct security procedure and in so doing is potentially exposing their organization to compromise. Over a third (38%) weren’t sure what technology their CEO used at home, with the majority (95%) claiming to be concerned that home smart devices could be hacked.
Cybersecurity: Is your boss leaving your organisation vulnerable to hackers?
/by RedSealZDNet | July 15, 2019
CEOs and other senior board-level executives are exposing their organisations to cyberattacks and hackers because of a lack of awareness around cybersecurity, a new study has warned.
Research by cybersecurity company RedSeal surveyed hundreds of senior IT and security professionals and found that many of these personnel believe there’s a disconnect between the CEO and the information security team, which could be putting organisations at risk.
RedSeal expert on the IoT headache and how to bolster defences
/by RedSealIntelligent CISO | June 14, 2019
As the world around us becomes increasingly connected, the attack surface is only set to grow. Dr Mike Lloyd, RedSeal, tells us why IoT is the latest headache for CISOs and offers some advice on how to secure it.
There’s a saying in the security world: ’if it’s on the network, it belongs to the CISO.’ And CISOs have risen to the occasion, developing and honing a bag of tricks that work reasonably even in the face of morphing attacks and unwitting employees. But now, with increasing numbers of very different devices connecting to the internet, CISOs are realising that their standard bag of tricks doesn’t work on the Internet of Things (IoT).
