We are bringing back some of our favorite TEC37 episodes! In this TEC37 encore, we explore how CISOs can scale cybersecurity across the enterprise as security becomes increasingly tied to business success. Too often, the expense and damage to reputation that occurs after a sophisticated cyber attack can cause businesses irreparable harm. CISOs find themselves stuck between trying to secure new technology that will give their organization a competitive edge and protecting their legacy IT infrastructure and systems. Success requires an approach to cybersecurity that considers the business, architecture and operations. Join host Robb Boyd as he speaks with WWT's Geoff Hancock – Global Director of Cybersecurity Engineering, Warren Perils -- Security Practice Manager for Global Service Provider and Comcast's Shena Tharnish -- VP of Cybersecurity Products. They'll discuss steps organizations can take to implement holistic cybersecurity.

Now that organizations and employees have proven their capabilities to run and work remotely thanks to technology, our reliance on this technology and our willingness to test out new and emerging forms of it will continue to accelerate. But this relationship between humans and technology is not seamless. Companies need to protect themselves from troubleshooting, malware, and several other unknowns. With the return to office and hybrid work schedules a reality for most companies, there is a new list of threats to consider. And when making those considerations, it remains true that you can't protect and defend what you cannot see. On this Public Sector Tech Talk episode, we will establish a basis for what visibility should look like through the lens of cybersecurity and discuss how to mitigate IT risks, while keeping data protected and enhancing performance across any device or network.

With the advent of the President's Executive Order (EO) on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity, public sector agencies are under immense pressure to increase deployment of new technologies. The EO joins other federal cloud regulations and frameworks, including NIST EO 11 recommendations, DISA STIGS, and more, that call for a balance between accelerated development processes and strong security measures through DevOps and DevSecOps. But how can agencies meet the demands of adopting emerging technologies with a focus on security? This episode will discuss why it is important to utilize an operational framework that takes DevOps and DevSecOps best practices used for application development and applies them to infrastructure automation. It will address how this approach can eliminate risk by incorporating continuous threat monitoring capabilities and, most importantly, how the National Security Agency (NSA) has adopted this framework to support a successful cloud migration initiative.
