Since the beginnings of computer networking technology, inventing new and better ways to secure networks has been vital to their use in the marketplace. From government applications to commercial, network security has been essential to protect these entities from lost or stolen data, networks being held hostage, etc. In today's landscape, attacks are nearly an inevitability and even more so than in decades past.So, knowing how important it is to the functions of our society, what's next for network security? Who better to ask than the expert who's helped define the space since 1985? In this podcast, we speak with Ed Amoroso, CEO of TAG Cyber, a company that provides cybersecurity research and advisory “as a service.”To learn more about managed network security services, visit:https://www.highwirenetworks.com/services/managed-cybersecurity/To learn more about our Overwatch Cybersecurity Partner Program and how to become a security solutions provider, visit:https://www.highwirenetworks.com/cybersecurity-partners/ 

In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde had an insightful and inspiring conversation with Peter Galanis, a distinguished mentor, leader, and friend. The conversation started with Pete giving a summary of his vast experience and background in the tech/cyber industry, from the days of working the Russian desk as a Signals Intelligence Analyst to his time at AT&T and, subsequently, Verizon.The conversation then moved to how and why the IT industry seems to be as static as it is dynamic; the need to return to fundamental principles of securing systems and networks; whether old-school networking protocols are still relevant in today's gradual and inevitable shift towards Web3.0; some thoughts about smart contracts, fraud, and implicit trust systems; the distinctions between physical vs. cyber threats within organizations and across multiple industries; the concept of self-sovereign identity and self-sovereign data; how organizations can effectively manage their vast data footprint; and lots more. Pete made an insightful 2-3 year prediction regarding how to effectively manage and secure vast amounts of data for average end users when data saturation becomes prevalent and inevitable at the individual user level.We had a very insightful conversation, with Pete sharing so much of his abundant knowledge during this relatively short hour-long episode. There were some important shoutouts during the episode as well: shoutout to Roy Eggensperger (it was great meeting up in Vegas during DEFCON), and also Ed Amoroso, Pete's long-time friend, who I first met when Pete invited him to an all-hands call when I was still working at Verizon.Check out host Bidemi Ologunde's other creative outlets on LinkTree.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Chief Executive Officer and Founder of TAG Cyber, Ed Amoroso, shares how he learned on the job and grew his career. In his words, Ed "went from my dad having an ARPANET connection and I'm learning Pascal, to Bell Labs, to CISO, to business, to quitting, to starting something new. And now I'm riding a new exponential up and it's a hell of a ride." Hear from Ed how he sees security as a side dish that you'll progress into naturally once you've paid your dues and mastered a skill like networking, software or databases. We thank Ed for sharing his story with us.

Too lucrative, too easy, and not enough investment. In the simplest terms possible, that is how you could describe the current state of cybersecurity. Over the last month, we've heard from some of the top minds in the industry, and a general consensus is that despite the innovations and optimism in the world of cybersecurity,  those three issues remain at the heart of the problem. “There's more tools available. There is more research. The hacking communities are actually businesses. They employ people, they pay people and they ride these things and it is becoming easier. The overall system has not been very well-studied to understand what are the right things to do and what things we should limit and that kind of thing.”That's Taher Elgamal, CTO for Security at Salesforce and on this episode of IT Visionaries, our cybersecurity series concludes as Taher is joined by Ed Amoroso, Founder and CEO of TAG Cyber. The two discuss the state of cybersecurity, including where companies are getting their security measures right, and where the industry is struggling as a whole. The two also detail why the growing divide in skills is a problem without an immediate solution, and why financial incentives are simultaneously the biggest opportunity to stop attacks and the biggest threat to escalating attacks.Main TakeawaysCyber Know How: Today it's easy to simply buy a product or service and bolt that service on top of your current tech stack. But one of the biggest problems most enterprises are running into is a lack of knowledge in how to actually operate those services efficiently and effectively.Test, Then Test Again: Securing a network is not a one-time fix, it requires companies to be continually testing their networks for vulnerability. A good practice is to place a heavy emphasis on hiring white hat employees, or other hacker services whose sole responsibility is to attempt to break your network. When you are continually testing, it's much easier to understand where your weaknesses are and then design products to patch those weaknesses. Can't We All Get Along?: There are more cybersecurity applications than ever before, but even with the growing number of available vendors, attacks are increasing. Until cyber threats begin to dwindle yearly, a good solution would be for companies to start sharing assets and information in order to help build more securable and unbreakable products.IT Visionaries is brought to you by the Salesforce Platform - the #1 cloud platform for digital transformation of every experience.

A lot can be done by CSOs/CISOs to maximize value and reduce risks when working with PR/media. However, the path forward is not always straightforward. What are the common hiccups, screw-ups, and give-ups?As part of our ongoing "CISO functional relationships" series, in today's episode, we look at the role of PR and the media as a function of establishing and maintaining trust internally with the executives, the board, the partners, and externally with the customers and the public.There's an old saying, "There is no such thing as bad press. All press is good press," but that is precisely an "old" saying. Nowadays, branding and reputation matter, which is even more true in information security. The impact of a breach on the company's reputation and bottom line can cause some severe damage, but the story is more complex than that. Nowadays, there is an entire system that needs to change to manage reputation in the right way. The conversation with the media and the public can be more positive, constructive, and transparent.In this podcast, we talk about this and much more.GuestsMelanie Ensign, Founder & CEO, Discernible (@iMeluny on Twitter)Ed Amoroso, Founder and CEO of TAG Cyber (@hashtag_cyber on Twitter)This Episode's SponsorsHITRUST: https://itspm.ag/itsphitwebSemperis: https://itspm.ag/semperis-1rooResourcesMedium Post by Melanie: https://medium.com/discernible/security-privacy-incident-hiccups-f-ck-ups-and-give-ups-e972ef46c3dTo see and hear more Redefining Security content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-securityAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships

COVID-19 is having a dramatic impact on the nature of market, credit, financial, and operational risks facing companies. Information about these risks is evolving at a rapid pace. To help risk managers stay informed of the latest developments and address the challenges associated with COVID-19, GARP has launched a podcast series featuring lively discussions with thought leaders and experts. Our first interview is with Ed Amoroso, currently Chief Executive Officer of TAG Cyber LLC, a global cyber security advisory, training, consulting, and media services company supporting hundreds of companies across the world. Ed recently retired from AT&T after thirty-one years of service in the cybersecurity space. In recent years, financial institutions have proven to be vulnerable to cyberattacks, leaving risk teams scrambling.  With more work pushed online than ever before due to COVID-19 – and hackers finding new ways to exploit networks - understanding new and evolving cyber risks is even more critical today. How can cyber risk and risk management in general keep up with the sophistication and scale of potential attacks against company systems in a work environment that has already been disrupted? What role do CROs and risk managers play in this battle and what role do cybersecurity professionals play in risk management in the future.   To access our full library of COVID-19 content click here.     Dr. Ed Amoroso is currently Chief Executive Officer of TAG Cyber LLC, a global cyber security advisory, training, consulting, and media services company supporting hundreds of companies across the world.
