1% Leadership - Andy Ellis - BSW #32927 Nov 202300:28:38

Most leadership books suffer from one of two critical failures (and sometimes both). The book might be a hagiography: telling you the biography of some amazing leaders, pretending there is one secret trick that will let you emulate that leader. Or the lesson of book should have been written as a tweet: in 280 characters you could have learned one lesson, but instead you have to fight through 300 pages of obfuscation to decipher the lesson.

1% Leadership is the antidote to these approaches. There is no secret. Instead, 1% Leadership provides 54 distinct lessons on leadership, that apply to individuals, teams, and organizations. Each lesson is presented in a self-contained chapter, averaging under 800 words. The lessons are summarized in a tweet-length pithy summary, which is also the chapter title. The table of contents thus serves as a quick reference guide for leaders.

The Enterprise Browser for the Modern Workforce - Robert Shield - BSW #32630 Oct 202300:30:23

As the workforce increasingly relies on the cloud, the browser has become a critical aspect of enterprise security. Employees now use browsers to access data and applications from various devices and locations, making browsers the primary target for cyber attackers.

Enterprise browsers are specifically designed to address the security challenges of the modern and complex workforce. According to Gartner, "By 2030, enterprise browsers will be the core platform for delivering workforce productivity and security software on managed and unmanaged devices, ensuring a seamless hybrid work experience." Tune in to a discussion with Chrome Enterprise's Robert Shield, where he discusses the importance of an enterprise browser for modern businesses and shares insights on how to improve browser security.

Cloud infrastructure introduces additional identity types that need to be addressed as part of your risk management program.

The Art & Science of Metawar - Winn Schwartau - BSW #31828 Aug 202300:33:39

The metaverse is an evolving storytelling environment in which humans have congregated for millennia to experience alternate, immersive, and simulated realities, with or without technology. Storytelling is designed to influence mental and physical perceptions suiting the purposes of the content creators. Metawar is the art of applying science to create and defend against the influence of alternate realities in the metaverse. What if we can longer rely on our senses to determine what is real and what is fiction? Winn's research into Metawar initially focused on metaversal technologies. Unexpectedly, it morphed into an intensely personal experience, triggering Winn's own Metanoia, which had a profound impact on the entire Metawar Thesis.

Ransomware Attacks Trends/Impacts & Using Generative AI to Up Your Cyberdefenses - BSW #31721 Aug 202300:29:12

Ransomware-as-a-Service has contributed to a steady rise in sophisticated ransomware attacks. Ransomware authors are increasingly staying under the radar by launching encryption-less attacks which involve large volumes of data exfiltration. Organizations must move away from using legacy point products and instead migrate to a fully integrated zero trust platform that minimizes their attack surface, prevents compromise, reduces the blast radius in the event of a successful attack, and prevents data exfiltration.

Securing your Browser & The Journey to Password[less] - Karim Toubba, Mike Fey - BSW #31614 Aug 202300:28:02

The modern web browser is the single most commonly used application by enterprises worldwide. Its power, simplicity, and usability makes it an essential tool at work. And yet, the browser is not an enterprise application. It lacks the fundamental controls enterprises require to ensure proper security, visibility, and governance over critical apps and data. As a result, we surround the browser with a massive security ecosystem in an attempt to manage the intersection between users, web applications, and the underlying data. In the process, our technology stack becomes complex, expensive, and fragile to maintain, while end users are left with a frustrating experience. All because the consumer browser was not designed with enterprise needs in mind. The question is: What if there was a browser designed exclusively for the enterprise?

Deciphering The National Cyber Workforce and Education Strategy - Dr. José-Marie Griffiths - BSW #31507 Aug 202300:31:17

On July 31st, 2023, the Biden administration released a national strategy addressing cyber workforce shortages, calling long-standing vacancies a national security imperative. The National Cyber Workforce and Education Strategy focuses on four major pillars: equipping every American with cyber skills, transforming cyber education, expanding and enhancing the national cyber workforce and strengthening the federal cyber workforce. The strategy relies heavily on non-governmental and private sector entities to provide funding, internship and apprenticeship programs to increase the number of workers with cybersecurity skills. One of those entities referenced in the strategy is Dakota State University. Dr. José-Marie Griffiths joins us to discuss education's role in the strategy, but offers other insights, including:

  • immigration policies and how it limits the current cyber workforce,
  • diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and the reduction of women in the cyber workforce, and
  • what can the cyber community do to help.

The Golden Age of Email Security - Jess Burn - BSW #31110 Jul 202300:31:12

A golden age is a time of great achievement in a society or industry — a time of innovation and the furthering of new ideas via new mediums or technological advancements. Email security is now entering a golden age after stagnating for the better part of a decade. Is it time to celebrate?

Customers have more choice than ever when it comes to protecting how employees, customers, and partners communicate and collaborate. Often, those customers are choosing more than one email security partner in a layered or multilayer approach to protection, as it provides greater efficacy — and peace of mind. But is that sustainable in a consolidating market?

Jess Burn, Senior Analyst from Forrester Research, joins us to discuss the results of The Forrester Wave on Enterprise Email Security for Q2 2023.
