In this engaging podcast, cyber-security leaders Roland Cloutier and Chris Pierson discuss with Marco and Sean the rising digital threats that executives face. With recent advancements in AI, phishing attacks and cyber crime have become sophisticated and harder to spot. The podcast underlines the importance of protecting the "executive digital space" —not just at the individual executive's level, but also their families, considering the potentially detrimental impacts they can have on organizations at large.The two experts point out that being aware of cyber threats and diligently safeguarding precious data isn't enough. They propose a holistic approach to security, noting that the minimal knowledge most executives have about cyber threats plays to the advantage of cyber criminals. The alarming yet enlightening discussion encompasses physical security, AI-assisted scamming, artificially-created voice calls, and more.A practical solution offered in the conversation is to outsource security measures to a reliable third-party for monitoring and immediate response to threats, thereby safeguarding everyone linked to the executive. The unique aspect here is the emphasis on a personalized, bespoke defense strategy that takes into consideration the differing security requirements of individuals. Ultimately, the mission here is to provide a safer cyber environment for executives and their families without impacting their personal lives.Join this intriguing podcast and learn how to fortify not just your organization's, but your executive's life from cyber attacks.Note: This story contains promotional content.

Today's guest is Roland Cloutier, CISO at TikTok. Patience is key. This is just one of the many lessons to be learned from this week's episode. Roland discusses his current role and responsibilities as TikTok CISO, how he has advanced the security capabilities within TikTok, his message when recruiting new security practitioners, the differences between working as a CISO in a premier payroll processing organization versus a major social media company, what a “strategic converged security program is”, how he got his start in security (hint: it wasn't in cyber!), what keeps him up at night, and as always, his toughest lesson learned.
CyberSecurity is a really cool profession, there is room for many to join in, and the skills required are numerous and diverse. So why aren't we attracting enough people into this massively understaffed field? The answer likely sits in the industry's elitism and inability to reach the audience with the right message, early enough and with the proper training mechanisms. However, that's about to change.We'd like to introduce you to the first International Cybersecurity Challenge, which is destined to be held in Athens, Greece, and tentatively scheduled for December 7-12, 2021.The adventure started a few months ago, but the excitement is far from over. At this stage, The US team has selected their coaches, the team is trying out as part of the Cyber Combine selection process, and several critical milestones are ahead of us.What is also happening is that this unique and innovative competition is making the news, interesting the public, and bringing new players to join the ranks of those supporting this initiative.Today we talk about this and much more.Ready, Player One? Two? Three? Four? Let's go!____________________________About the International Cybersecurity ChallengeIn the first International Cybersecurity Challenge, teams from across the globe will compete in a series of challenges such as web application and system exploitation, cryptography, reverse engineering, hardware challenges, forensics and escape rooms.About the US Cyber GamesThe US Cyber Games was founded by Katzcy, in cooperation with the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) program at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The program will run from April to October 2021 and consist of the US Cyber Open, the US Cyber Combine Invitational, and the selection of the first-ever US Cyber Team™ to represent the United States at the 2021 International Cyber Security Challenge (ICSC) held in Athens, Greece in December.About the European Cybersecurity ChallengeThe European Cybersecurity Challenge (ECC) is an annual competition, coordinated by the European Union Agency for cybersecurity. The event offers a platform for young cyber talents across Europe to gather and engage in networking over a unique opportunity to experience cooperation in trying to resolve a cybersecurity problem.The ECC is intended to encourage young people to pursue a career in cybersecurity, by challenging and developing the participants' skills needed in such extreme situations and connecting them with industry.____________________________GuestsJessica GulickOn Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessicagulick/On Twitter: https://twitter.com/CyberRiskLadyRoland CloutierOn Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rolandcloutier/On Twitter: https://twitter.com/CSORoland____________________________This Episode's SponsorsDevo

We have limited investment dollars and therefore must ensure we are protecting the right assets. The practical side of determining “what” needs to be protected and “how” is a convoluted maze of academics, taxonomies, frameworks, and inconsistent approaches. Here we discuss 5 critical elements to make a difference by developing and effective Critical Asset Protection Program (CAPP).
