Matthew also sits on numerous boards including Greentown Labs, Sense, and Quidnet Energy. As you may know from listening to Sarah Kearney’s episode, Prime Impact Fund is an early-stage venture capital fund focused on breakthrough climate innovation. Before Prime, Matthew was a venture capital investor at Venrock, one of the world’s oldest and most successful VC firms, where he and colleagues drove the firm’s investment in Nest Labs (acquired by Google for $3.2 billion). Prior to Venrock, Matthew was President of Lux Research (acquired by private equity firm Bregal Sagemount), an advisory services firm for science-driven innovation that he co-founded in 2004. Under Matthew’s leadership, the Lux Research analyst team became a globally recognized authority on the business impact of emerging technologies. Earlier, Matthew held a variety of senior management roles at emerging technology advisor Forrester Research (NASDAQ:FORR) in the U.S. and Europe.

This week marks one year since the show launched. I rounded out the year recording at the 20th Annual CERIAS Security Symposium. This week's episode I spend doing a bit of year in review and reflection at the beginning of the show. The highlight of this week's show is my interview with Ray Rothrock the CEO of Red Seal and the opening Keynote for the 2019 CERIAS Security Symposium. Thanks to all of the folks at CERIAS for putting on another great conference. Next week I will bring the rest of the interviews from the conference so stay tuned for those!

No one is immune to hacking- including systems not connected to the internet. No matter how much budget to pour into cyber security, its only a matter of time until your company is hacked. This is a principle that we've seen emerging in recent years. How should companies respond when they are under attack? How can they mitigate the damage and protect their most sensitive information? Ray Rothrock is a veteran in the cyber industry and emphasizes in his new book, Digital Resilience, that it's not enough for a company to have heavy barriers of defense- the hackers will still get inside, what companies need to focus on today is resilience.

Ray Rothrock, the CEO of Redseal and Board Member of cyber security incubator Team 8 appears on Episode #55 of Task Force 7 Radio to talk about his new book, Digital Resilience - Is Your Company Ready for the Next Cyber Threat and why Digital Resilience is the only way to win the Cyber Security battle we are all engaged in on a daily basis. Rothrock talks about how every network is vulnerable to a breach, how a company's ability to be resilient is the key factor to whether or not they will survive a crisis, and how moving forward into the future CISO's are going to be judged on how they respond to a breach and not necessarily if they prevent one. Rothrock lays out the consequences of not having a resilient organizational model when a cyber attack occurs, how your DRP and BCP plans tie into your overall Cyber Recovery Plan, and how businesses can actually thrive during a cyber attack.

Asha Saxena explores cyber security and the future of Big Data with venture capitalist Ray Rothrock. In this episode, we’ll talk about how Big Data is impacting cyber security and how businesses can overcome the common challenges associated with Big Data, from keeping sensitive information to finding the right talent to process and analyze the data.

Cybercrime and cyberwarfare are both on the rise. From businesses large and small to national governments, the question is not if they will experience a cyberattack, but when, how much damage will be done and how long the recovery process will be. In this week’s episode, we discuss the cybersecurity landscape and how businesses and governments can most effectively work together to mitigate risks. Joining World Affairs CEO Jane Wales are digital security experts Ray Rothrock, CEO of RedSeal and author of “Digital Resilience,” and Richard Clarke, former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counterterrorism and most recently, author of “Warnings: Finding Cassandras to Stop Catastrophes.” We want to hear from you!

Cybercrime is an epidemic, and every business is at risk. For management, the question is not if you will be compromised, but when. 80% of CEOs are very confident in their company’s cybersecurity strategies, despite the fact that security incidents have surged 66% year-over-year since 2009 (PricewaterhouseCoopers). In fact, few are prepared, explains cybersecurity expert Ray A. Rothrock, who demystifies cyber risk and clearly outlines strategies for both surviving attacks and thriving even while under assault.In his new book, Digital Resilience: Is Your Company Ready for the Next Cyber Threat?
