Cyber Security: Neutralizing Threat Risks

Cyber security is a critical issue that is becoming progressively more critical and at the same time more complex, affecting everything that computes, manages, and communicates information. Concurrently, security assurance and certification are an expensive endeavor and the need for automated, repeatable detection is essential to an organization’s business continuity, strategic mission, competitiveness, time to market, and decision-making at all levels. The main factor preventing scalability of certificating systems as safe and secure is the overwhelming reliance on human evaluators. The amount of evidence required to certify a system as being cyber-secure can be overwhelming, resulting in superficial, incomplete, and unacceptably long evaluation cycles. On this week’s episode of The North Star, William Ulrich welcomes cyber security and systems assurance authority Djenana Campara, President and CEO of KDM Analytics. Ms. Campara is leading efforts to standardize and automate systems assurance and cyber security assessments. In this interview, she will share insights into the current state of cyber risks, cyber security, risk categories, risk targets, and the automated detection of threats and vulnerabilities. Listen in to this episode to gain important insights into how your organization should incorporate cyber security and systems assurance into its business strategy.
