Ep. 6 | The Blind Men and the Cyber-Elephant
Manage episode 356226160 series 3437085
Describing cybersecurity can look a lot like the story of the blind men and the elephant. One grabs the trunk and says “This is a snake." Another reaches to the elephant’s ear and says it’s a fan. One feels the tusk and says it’s a spear. And so on, each believing that they - and only they - know the elephant..
To many, cybersecurity is IT managing the network. To others, it’s complying with laws and legal obligations. Others see it as a risk management matter to be managed with insurance. Others see it as an operational risk-reduction challenge. Yet to others, cybersecurity is a workforce challenge or the challenge of protecting seniors from romance and other scams. Truth be told, cybersecurity is all of these things along with matters of war and peace … as the cyberwar playing out in Ukraine demonstrates.
Join Stan and Julie as they riff on the opportunities to improve our collective cybersecurity - get our arms around the whole cyber-elephant so to speak - by breaking down the silos, listening to each other, and co-creating opportunities to collaborate … to make 1 + 1 = 1,000 as we say at SecureTheVillage..
As always, Stan and Julie provide actionable tips and thoughtful wisdom in a fun conversation on the complexities of cybersecurity and privacy.
