The latest iteration of the National Institutes of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) helps organizations strengthen their security posture and align their cybersecurity efforts with enterprise-wide risk management. NIST's Steven Quinn, the project lead for the Cybersecurity Framework, provides a comprehensive overview of the key updates and transformative features in the 2.0 version. At the center of the new framework is the introduction of the "govern" function, which empowers executives and risk management professionals to seamlessly integrate cybersecurity risk into their existing enterprise-level decision-making processes. By bridging the gap between technical security controls and business objectives, the framework enables organizations to make more informed, strategic investments in their cybersecurity programs. Additionally, the framework has been enhanced to address emerging technologies, such as quantum computing and artificial intelligence, ensuring an organization is prepared to navigate the evolving threat landscape.

SummaryIn this episode, Sean talks about the importance of testing a new version of an API or component before upgrading. He shares his experience with Open AI's API and the differences between version 3 and version 4 of their tool chat GPT. Sean emphasizes that the focus should always be on customer benefit and that upgrading may come with trade offs like slower performance and higher costs.Key Points Not all new versions of APIs or components are necessary to upgrade to Testing before upgrading can help determine if a new version consistently generates better results Customer benefit should be the key focus in deciding to upgrade Differences between versions may be negligible in terms of output Upgrading may come with trade-offs like slower performance and higher costs Waiting to upgrade may sometimes make more sense Both technical and business-oriented perspectives should be considered when deciding to upgrade Quotes "Testing that I've done, not all of these tools are really ready for mainstream." "The differences not all that significant in terms of the ultimate output." "Don't feel compelled to have to blow up everything you're doing or switch to the new version immediately."

Warner focuses on the use of alleged “lost” gospels and provides a number of reasons to reject these efforts. He also talks specifically about the claims of Joseph Atwill who claims “the New Testament was written by first-century Roman aristocrats” who “fabricated the entire story of Jesus Christ.”

At the first year mark of The Latest Version, I am checking in with my first six guests. These women shared their stories when I didn't have a finished product yet to share with them. They took a chance with me, sharing their stories about their life journeys and their plans for the future, and I am so grateful to them. Their experiences this past year will sound familiar to many of you. Some are making progress, while others have family issues that may have put their plans on temporary hold, but no one's giving up. All original episodes are available at www.thelatestversionpodcast.com/episodes.Danielle Butin started Afya Foundation, a nonprofit in Yonkers, NY that collects unused medical supplies from hospitals that would otherwise go to landfill. Afya receives these supplies in their warehouse, sorts and repacks, then ships them to hospitals around the world, often in response to natural disasters. Today, Afya Foundation's purpose could not be more vital, as they send off supplies to Ukraine. If you want to donate to Afya, please go to www.afyafoundation.org.Lucy Filppu is a long-time English teacher at Palo Alto High School in California. Last year We talked about her work at a high performing school district. Lucy shared with us that she was working with a writers group to start on a novel. She also has an entrepreneurial side, as several years ago she started writing boot camp for students entering high school. So how's it going? Lucy shared with me that she has a sick family member who is her priority right now. Many of us have shared a simiar experience and we send her and her family much love.Christina McMurray wrote and published a book, “Live, Laugh, Fly,” about her son Scott's battle with a rare pediatric cancer and death at 22. In truth, the book was a bigger examination of a marriage that hit some rocks but, contrary to expectations, came back stronger than ever when Scott's illness hit. A big part of Chris's story are the coincidences and “signs” her family have noticed since Scott's passing, and her confidence that he continues to be a part of their lives. Chris and husband Gene are doing well, and even have a podcast of their own! Chris's book, “Live, Laugh, Fly” can be found on Amazon.Lela Cocoros Goldstein's life after retirement from a busy corporate and consulting career took an interesting turn. Last year she told me about her discovery of the art of collage. I didn't know much about collage, other than to think, “wow, that looks like fun.” And my other thought was, “Lela is really good at that!” My question to her last year was, “How far are you going to take this?” She is still growing as a collage artist and is exploring teaching collage. You can view her work on her Latest Version episode page.Betsy Chappell shows how you can take an interest or a sideline – in this case gardening – and turn it into a business by focusing on a niche. In Betsy's case, the niche is container gardening, enhancing the outdoor spaces of her clients' homes in Lexington, Kentucky with beautiful potted plant arrangements. A year later, her business, Blooms Designs is, well, blooming. She is finding new ways to market her business and is building it up with a particular goal in mind. You can see her Instagram feed at Blooms Designs.Finally, my first interview last year was with Lara Lavi – an old friend who had a promising career as an Americana singer songwriter, but put a lot of that aside to concentrate on her law practice and, more recently, to help manage the career of her very talented son, Cameron Lavi-Jones and his band, King Youngblood. When we talked last year, Lara had just released a single, a cover of Joni Mitchell
We have a new dictator on the scene that rivals the old-style murderous thugs like Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini. This is Putin, the latest version of this evil. Will we be drawn into a nuclear conflict? It does seem possible right now. Do we watch the slaughter of innocents in Ukraine and do nothing, or do we sacrifice our children to protect them?

The Latest Version host Betsy Bush talks with interviewer Nancy Steiner about her years selling German nutcrackers and other Christmas decorations in the early years of the internet. As a German speaking American who travelled to the former East Germany in the mid-1990's, Betsy recognized that these genuine handmade wooden crafts were not readily available yet in the U.S., nor were the folk art origins behind the nutcracker figure and many other ornaments well known. Betsy founded her home-based business, Drosselmeier's Handcrafted Treasures from the Land of the Nutcrackers, in 1998.Topics include:A trip to the former East German state of Saxony, discovering the Village of Seiffen, the center of the toy-making cottage industry in a region called the Erzgebirge, or Ore MountainsStarting a home-based business in the early days of the internetTelling a real German nutcracker from the impostersThe meaning of the nutcracker and smoker figures in the folk art traditionHaving a gift business in the awkward space between bricks and mortar and the internetThe surprising history of the Nutcracker ballet and American Christmas traditionsWhat to consider if you go into a holiday-based businessUsing journalism skills to get PR“Know when to fold ‘em”Betsy Hills Bush is the host of The Latest Version. She recently graduated from Columbia University with a second BA majoring in Architecture. She has multiple interests including gardening with native plants and singing in her church choir.
