Helping FinTechs deliver safe and secure applications at speed (Cybersecurity | Cloud Architect | DevSecOps | AppSec)
Cybersecurity Insight: The Insider Threat In a startling parallel to the world of cybersecurity, the recent sentencing of a former U.S. diplomat, Manuel Rocha, for espionage on behalf of Cuba, underscores the critical importance of vigilance against insider threats. Just as Rocha's covert operations went undetected for decades within the U.S. foreign service, organizations today face similar vulnerabilities from within. Insider threats in cybersecurity can be equally as damaging as any external attack. These are not always malicious; sometimes they stem from negligence or lack of awareness. However, when intent is involved, the results can be catastrophic, affecting not just IT infrastructure but the very fabric of an organization. This case serves as a reminder: Whether it’s a government or a tech startup, the risk is real. Regular audits, robust access controls, and continuous monitoring are essential. Like the U.S. State Department, companies must assess and mitigate risks associated with insider activities to protect their assets and maintain trust. #StrategicGeneration #6PackCISO #CyberSecurity #InsiderThreat #RiskManagement #InfoSec

Helping FinTechs deliver safe and secure applications at speed (Cybersecurity | Cloud Architect | DevSecOps | AppSec)
According to Cybersecurity Ventures, the cyberinsurance market is expected to surge from roughly $8.5 billion in 2021 to $14.8 billion by 2025, eventually surpassing $34 billion by 2031, reflecting a robust 15% CAGR from 2020 to 2031. This significant growth highlights an increasing awareness among companies about cyber risks. However, the critical question remains: Are businesses truly adopting effective cybersecurity measures to bolster their defenses, or are they merely relying on insurance as a safety net? #StrategicGeneration #Cybersecurity #CybersecurityInsurance #6PackCISO #SixPackCISO #stratgen

Key Insights from MITRE's Cybersecurity Incident MITRE recently disclosed a cybersecurity breach within its R&D network, exploited through zero-day vulnerabilities in Ivanti’s VPN products by a suspected state-sponsored actor from China. The January attack, which remained undetected until recently, bypassed multi-factor authentication, exploited network vulnerabilities, and accessed sensitive data through sophisticated malware. This incident underscores the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures, continuous monitoring, and a deep understanding of supply chain risks. As we reinforce our defenses, let's draw key lessons from MITRE’s handling to enhance our own cybersecurity resilience. #StrategicGeneration #Cybersecurity #SupplyChainRisk #MITRE #ZeroDay #Ivanti #CyberAttack #InfoSec #6PackCISO #SixPackCISO #stratGen

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) this week announced $3.6 million in grants to help address the cybersecurity skills shortage. As part of the project, 18 education and community organizations across 15 states will be granted roughly $200,000 each to educate future cybersecurity employees. "Our economic and national security depend on a highly skilled workforce capable of defending against ever-increasing cyber threats. By investing in our cybersecurity workforce, we are not just filling a critical gap. We are creating a future where Americans have access to the training they need to secure high-quality, good-paying jobs,” NIST Director Laurie E. Locascio said. #NIST #StrategicGeneration #stratGen
