The new cybersecurity resilience
/by RedSealSC Magazine | May 1, 2020
Is your cybersecurity posture resilient enough to survive a pandemic? You’re about to find out.
The quick spread of COVID-19 has lent urgency to that mission and underscored the importance of building resilience. “Cyber, or digital resilience should be considered essential – like water, gas, and telephone/internet. Maintaining essential services that keep the lights on, keep people operating in their roles, and keep the digital world safe from attack is critical,” says RedSeal CEO Ray Rothrock, who penned the book Digital Resilience: Is Your Company Ready for the Next Cyber Threat?
Taking a fresh look at security for the remote workforce
/by RedSealFedScoop Radio | April 30, 2020
Chief information security officers are working diligently to ensure the productivity of temporarily homebound agency employees, while still adhering to the fundamentals of effective cybersecurity practices.
Because employees are connecting from home, often with their own equipment, there is an increased risk of an employee exposing agency networks to a whole host of security risks, says Wayne Lloyd, federal chief technology officer at RedSeal.
4 Cybersecurity Lessons from the Pandemic
/by RedSealDark Reading | April 16, 2020
An epidemiologist-turned-CTO describes the parallels between the spread of a computer virus and the real-world coronavirus.
…
I switched from epidemiology to network security as my day job years ago, but today’s pandemic reminds me of the similarities between the two fields. There are many lessons we can take from the real-world virus and apply them to security in the online world.

Securing the Supply Chain
/by RedSealCXO Insight ME | March 2020 (Pages 36-37)
Dr. Mike Lloyd, CTO at RedSeal, on how to protect your supply chain from cyberattacks.
“The supply chain combatted the challenge of repeatable quality through standards and audits – organisations establish baselines of what it takes to make a reliable product, and then build the supply chain around those who can meet the standard. The time has come for comparable efforts around cybersecurity and digital resilience across the supply chain.”
What coronavirus can teach us about network security
/by RedSealITProPortal | March 18, 2020
In my travels, I’ve met cybersecurity professionals from many different backgrounds. That’s not so surprising – it’s a relatively new profession only recently taught in universities, and it takes on the order of ten years of on-the-job training to become an expert. Most seasoned cybersecurity veterans came from some other discipline. I moved into cybersecurity from epidemiology, studying how disease spreads. There are some surprising and interesting parallels between cybersecurity and epidemiology – starting from the point that most people really don’t want to talk to you about the icky stuff that you spend your time on until they face a real crisis and suddenly demand answers!
Cyberspace Solarium Commission Highlights the Importance of Digital Resilience
/by RedSealMorning Consult | March 17, 2020
By Ray Rothrock, RedSeal CEO
On March 11, the Cyberspace Solarium Commission released its long-awaited report, which provides more than 80 policy recommendations for “defending the United States in cyberspace against cyberattacks of significant consequences.” While the report is over 180 pages, Senator Angus King (I-Maine) said the report can be summed up in four words — define, develop, defend and deter. I would simplify this further, as these four words can be condensed into one concept: digital resilience.
How network modeling and cyber hygiene improve security odds for federal agencies
/by RedSealFedScoop | March 16, 2020
Agencies that have built network infrastructure over decades may not be doing enough to manage basic cyber-hygiene practices and stay ahead of modern threats, cautions a new report.
When out-of-date configuration rules lurk on networks, attackers essentially have a back door to walk into government systems. However, modern network modeling platforms, capable of integrating into existing infrastructure, can help agency IT departments identify and manage cyber risks and accelerate essential hygiene practices.
Why Aren’t Smart Devices Safer?
/by RedSealForbes | March 6, 2020
We live in a world of rapid technological change. Consumers have adopted smart home devices at amazing (some might say alarming) speeds. Businesses have rushed to the cloud, to digitalization and to the latest artificial intelligence approaches. Each of these changes is driven by big benefits but also comes with a great deal of risk.
