Ep. 037: Shifting the cyber security conversation (w/ Adam Shostack)

Today's guest on Cyber Security Matters is Adam Shostack. After working at Microsoft for close to 10 years, solving important security problems and influencing the design of products such as Microsoft Windows, Office & Xbox, Adam became a cyber security advisor for startups and SMBs. Adam speaks in plain language about his simple approach to cyber security, using models to help non-technical business decision makers think about cyber security. He leads organizations to ask: What are we working on? What can go wrong? What can we do about it? Did we do a good job? Using Zoom as a recent example, Adam explains that the lesson to learn is to shift the cyber security conversation to the beginning of building and securing products, services and business processes. Pay the cyber security debt early on (do security by design vs. bolting it on after the fact) so that you don't have to be paying it over and over again down the road and end up paying so much more than what was necessary. --- Cyber Security Matters is a partnered program of Conversations That Matter.
