The role of the CISO has evolved significantly over the past 30 years. From pioneering cybersecurity efforts to navigating complex digital landscapes, CISOs like Steve Katz have shaped the industry's trajectory. As cybersecurity challenges continue to evolve, CISOs remain at the forefront of safeguarding organizations against emerging threats. This requires not only technical expertise but also strategic vision, business acumen, and effective communication skills. Modern CISOs must navigate a complex landscape of regulatory requirements, evolving technologies, and sophisticated adversaries. By fostering a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning, a #ciso can empower their teams to adapt and respond effectively to emerging threats. Moreover, by actively engaging with stakeholders across the organization, CISOs can ensure that cybersecurity remains a top priority. To achieve both their business and #cybersecurity goals, CISOs need a solid foundation of identity solutions. But identifying gaps, opportunities, and benchmarking identity maturity is difficult in the press of day-to-day responsibilities. Simeio invites all CISOs and identity stakeholders to reach out and learn how we help companies achieve #identitymaturity. https://hubs.ly/Q02yCbp_0

The historically fragmented identity stack poses two challenges: a lot of tools to manage, and a lot of chances for things to fall through the cracks. "People have effectively treated the identity stack like, 'Let’s throw things at the wall and see if they stick.' And so it means that there’s a lot of resources and capital that are sunk into it without a ton of measurable results," says Opal Security CEO and co-founder Umaimah Khan. Opal was built to change that. The least-privilege IAM platform sits in the middle of the various systems – identity access and governance tools, HR systems, sensitive internal systems, business-critical apps, and more – collating identity data, providing visibility into who has authorization and access, and allowing organizations to take action. "What we really do is fill in the missing context," says Khan. "And because everything is API- first by design, it means we can also start to make changes on those things." ICYMI: Khan spoke with Saam Motamedi on the Greymatter podcast about Opal's role in the changing cybersecurity landscape, and how next-gen #IAM is the answer. Listen here: https://lnkd.in/gHcHccPG

Rewriting the Rules of Identity --- By Michael C. In an era where digital transformation dictates the future of economies, Australia stands on the cusp of a revolution that promises to redefine the landscape of business operations, customer interactions, and economic efficiency. The introduction of the Digital ID Bill 2023 is not merely a legislative manoeuvre but a bold stride towards a future where digital identity is the backbone of economic and social transactions. This pivotal moment, akin to the seismic shift from a cash-based to a card-based economy, heralds a new era for Australian businesses, marked by enhanced efficiency, security, and unparalleled growth opportunities. read more: https://lnkd.in/gzwAurWj #cyber #cybersecurity #digital #digitalidentity #digitalid #digitalidframework

In the age of evolving cyber threats, safeguarding digital identities remains a paramount concern. Organizations grapple with identity risks, compliance burdens, and the challenge of reducing access without compromising efficiency. At Autharva, Inc., we firmly believe that the manual process of requesting, reviewing, and approving access is outdated and adds minimal value. We transcend conventional tools, relieving businesses from resource-intensive processes, poor user experiences, and manual oversights. As we pioneer modern access governance, we tackle the pressing issue of compliance while fortifying security posture. Imagine a world where legacy manual access requests are transformed through automation, aligning with contemporary governance needs. Our innovation is poised to empower organizations in meeting modern compliance and audit demands. ABHISHEK K BANSAL #FuelAccelerator #Cybersecurity

EDIT: Busted! Obviously critical infrastructure is the goal to protect when it comes to, well, Critical Infrastructure. The intersection of identity and data should be what we care about most. Everything else is securing infrastructure in service of that goal. - Why does identity matter? - How do we protect the intersection of identity and data? - How do you protect uptime (availability) of identity? - What should be the single source of truth in identity? - Who should own identity? ciso? cio? cto? - What is the role of cybersecurity in identity? - What is the best directory services of all time? - How do you manage identity sprawl? I ask these questions of many brilliant guests from all walks of the identity and security life on this week's episode of The Cyber Ranch Podcast. I recorded live at Hybrid Identity Protection conference in New Orleans last week - an amazing conference that gathered some of the best in our industry. My guests were all over the map. I even got Chris Inglis, former National Cyber Director, on the mic!!! Others chose to remain anonymous, but some were totally forward with who they are and what their mission was. Johnny Brister Benjamin CAUWEL and many others joined me as well! Drew Simonis could not make the show, but gives a great pre-game interview as well!
