10 Security Projects CISOs Should Consider: Gartner Analyst
/by RedSealeSecurity Planet | June 12, 2018
At last week’s Gartner Security Summit in National Harbor, Maryland, Gartner analyst Neil MacDonald outlined 10 cybersecurity projects that could go a long way toward reducing enterprise security risk.
MacDonald said his top security projects for CISOs to consider this year are aimed at high business impact and high risk reduction. They came from recommendations from the security community, and a team whittled down the list to 10. He said he doesn’t expect enterprises to do all of them, but they might pick one or two that fit their particular needs.
The Biggest GDPR Mistake U.S. Companies Are Making
/by RedSealForbes | June 12, 2018
By Dr. Mike Lloyd, RedSeal CTO
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) zero-hour has finally arrived — enforcement started May 25, 2018. Like students cramming for a midterm, I witnessed a flurry of activity from U.S. businesses since the deadline forced people to pay attention, knuckle down and study.
When students cram for a test, they take any shortcuts they can, and that can make for predictable errors, especially any time there is a mentally comfortable answer that happens to be wrong. Psychologists even have a term for this — they call it “availability bias.” In a nutshell, this is our built-in tendency to assume something is right when it’s easy to recall or that it’s wrong just because it’s harder to remember.

/by RedSealCSO | June 5, 2018
Threats are constantly evolving and, just like everything else, tend to follow certain trends.

The best defenses need to mirror those trends so users get the most robust protection against the newest wave of threats. Along those lines, Gartner has identified the most important categories in cybersecurity technology for the immediate future.

/by RedSealArtificial intelligence, IoT, cognitive computing, blockchain, and predictive analytics—these are all phrases that likely weren’t in your vocabulary 10 years ago, let alone on your boardroom agenda. Massive changes in the business environment have upended everything.
According to a National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD) publication, the 2017–2018 NACD Public Company Survey, 58 percent of directors listed “significant industry change” as one of the five trends likely to have the greatest impact on their companies in 2018, citing technology disruption as a key driver of change.

GDPR: Are You Ready?
/by RedSealSecurity Advisor Middle East | May 2018
Article on pages 6-8
“The biggest issue that IT and security heads need to focus on is mapping out how their business operates. Under regulations like GDPR, it is not enough to evade breaches (by luck or by skill); rather, GDPR requires you to demonstrate that you take customer privacy seriously in every aspect of your business process. To demonstrate this, you must be able to map out your whole business — people, processes and technology.” — Dr. Mike Lloyd, RedSeal CTO
