Cyber Hygiene And Digital Resilience To Withstand A Cyber Attack
/by RedSealITSP Magazine | October 25, 2018
By Wayne Lloyd, RedSeal Federal CTO
After both the first and second Gulf wars, nation states such as North Korea, Iran, China and others came to the same conclusion: under no circumstances get into a shooting war with the United States military. The sole superpower in the world had a military so advanced and superior on the battlefield it left little doubt about the outcome.
CDM Designed to Help Federal Agencies Understand Risk Posture and Become Digitally Resilient
/by RedSealGovernment Technology Insider | October 24, 2018
The goal of the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Program is for all civilian agencies included in the program under the Chief Financial Officers’ (CFO) Act to feed data to the federal government-wide cybersecurity threat dashboard. With each individual agency’s information compiled, the dashboard consolidates threat information from individual agency feeds to give an overall understanding of the cyber risks facing civilian agencies and enables them to prioritize the most critical issues.
Is AI Resilient Enough for Security?
/by RedSealSIGNAL Magazine | October 22, 2018
By Dr. Mike Lloyd, RedSeal CTO
Machines need to be hard to fool and reliable under pressure.
Artificial intelligence can be surprisingly fragile. This is especially true in cybersecurity, where AI is touted as the solution to our chronic staffing shortage.
It seems logical. Cybersecurity is awash in data, as our sensors pump facts into our data lakes at staggering rates, while wily adversaries have learned how to hide in plain sight. We have to filter the signal from all that noise. Security has the trifecta of too few people, too much data and a need to find things in that vast data lake. This sounds ideal for AI.
Resilient regulation can help end the tech-consumer stalemate
/by RedSealThe Hill | October 21, 2018
By Ray Rothrock, RedSeal CEO
The reason for the absence of meaningful dialogue and meaningful movement is that the two sides persist in choosing the wrong adjectives. They argue over preemptive federal legislation versus state legislation. They fight over tough legislation versus soft legislation.
What they should do is discard all of these modifiers and instead embrace, together, just one type of legislation: resilient. We need privacy regulation that promotes the resilience of data privacy and security. And we need it whether we run Google and Facebook or use Google and Facebook.
FICO & US Chamber of Commerce Score Cyber-Risk Across 10 Sector
/by RedSealDark Reading | October 16, 2018
Media, telecom, and technology firms are far more likely to experience a data breach in the near future than organizations in sectors including energy, construction, and transportation.
A score “taken from the outside looking in is similar to rating the fire risk to a building based on a photograph from across the street,” says Mike Lloyd, CTO of RedSeal. “You can, of course, establish some important things about the quality of a building from a photograph, but it’s no substitute for really being able to inspect it from the inside.”
If You Protect Everything, Are You Protecting Anything?
/by RedSealGovernment Technology Insider | October 12, 2018
With Nate Cash, Senior Network Security Engineer
For decades, cybersecurity professionals have been tasked with protecting organizational IT assets, whether hardware, software, systems, or data. But have they been setting priorities for cybersecurity?
This is a monumental task, especially when the technology environment not only continues to change but is accelerating – just look at the spread of the Internet of Things. IT folks may be told to protect “everything,” but they know it’s an impossible task. They don’t have unlimited resources, after all.
In particular, organizations suffer from a skills gap.

Cybersecurity: Duck and Cover or Stand Up and Do Business?
/by RedSealCEOWORLD | October 1, 2018
By Ray Rothrock, RedSeal CEO
Cybersecurity isn’t working today. In 2016, the Ponemon Institute reported that each of the 383 companies it surveyed had a “26 percent probability of a material data breach involving ten thousand lost or stolen records” within the “next twenty-four months.” Take this beyond two years—say to the projected life of your business—and you must accept the certainty of data breach. If cybersecurity were working, that certainty would not exist.
What has gone wrong with cybersecurity?
The exponential development of digital technology has left it in the cyber dust.
“Zero Trust” Is the Opposite of Business
/by RedSealInfosecurity Magazine| September 14, 2018
By Dr. Mike Lloyd, RedSeal CTO
The term zero trust has been cropping up a lot recently, with even a small conference on the topic recently. It sounds like an ideal security goal, but some caution is warranted. When you step back and consider the reason security is important – keeping organizations running – it’s not so clear that zero trust is really what we want.
I see the label zero trust as an over-reaction to the challenges we face in security. To the extent that the term means “be less trusting”, I agree. Look at our lack of success in stopping breaches.
Big Companies Have An Achilles Heel
/by RedSealCybersecurity Intelligence| September 10, 2018
“From a cybersecurity perspective, when you’re an insurance company and you’re writing a policy for somebody, how do you charge them for it? We measure the risk and give them the metrics to charge for that policy,” said Steve Timmerman, VP of marketing and business development at RedSeal, which offers enterprise software that builds a model of a company’s network, identifies vulnerabilities, and provides a digital resiliency score that allows insurers to write a cyber premium based on that score.
