    Guest: Theodore Heiman, CEO, CISO GuruOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/tedheimanOn Twitter | https://x.com/tedrheiman____________________________Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber]On ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/sean-martinView This Show's Sponsors___________________________Episode NotesIn this episode of the Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast, host Sean Martin engages with Ted Heiman, CEO of the cybersecurity practice CISO Guru, in an insightful conversation about the complexities and evolving landscape of password management and multi-factor authentication (MFA). Sean Martin introduces the session by highlighting the challenges practitioners and leaders face in building security programs that enable organizations to achieve their objectives securely.The discussion quickly steers towards the main topic - the evolution of passwords, the role of password managers, and the critical implementation of MFA. Ted Heiman shares his extensive experience from over 25 years in the cybersecurity industry, observing that passwords are a relic from a time when networks were isolated and less complex. As organizations have grown and interconnected, the weaknesses of static passwords have become more apparent. Heiman notes a striking statistic: 75 to 80 percent of breaches occur due to compromised static passwords.The conversation examines the history of passwords, starting as simple, memorable phrases and evolving into complex strings with mandatory special characters, numbers, and capitalization. This complexity, while intended to increase security, often leads users to write down passwords or repeat them across multiple platforms, introducing significant security risks. Solutions like password managers arose to mitigate these issues, but as Heiman highlights, they tend to centralize risk, making a single point of failure an attractive target for attackers.The discussion shifts to MFA, which Heiman regards as a substantial improvement over static passwords. He illustrates the concept by comparing it to ATM use, which combines something you have (a bank card) and something you know (a PIN). Applying this to cybersecurity, MFA typically involves an additional step, such as an SMS code or biometric verification, significantly reducing the possibility of unauthorized access.Looking forward, both Heiman and Martin consider the promise of passwordless systems and continuous authentication. These technologies utilize a combination of biometrics and behavioral analysis to constantly verify user identity without the need for repetitive password entries. This approach aligns with the principles of zero-trust architecture, which assumes that no entity, inside or outside the organization, can be inherently trusted. Heiman stresses that transitioning to these advanced authentication methods should be a priority for organizations seeking to enhance their security posture. However, he acknowledges the challenges, especially concerning legacy systems and human behaviors, emphasizing the importance of a phased and managed risk approach.For listeners involved in cybersecurity, Heiman’s insights provide valuable guidance on navigating the intricate dynamics of password management and embracing more secure, advanced authentication mechanisms.___________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist:📺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllS9aVGdiakVss9u7xgYDKYqITSPmagazine YouTube Channel:📺 https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!___________________________Resources___________________________To see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring this show with an ad placement in the podcast?Learn More 👉 https://itspm.ag/podadplc

Marco Van Den Berg Scholten, a basketball coach and author, joins the conversation from the Netherlands to discuss his insights on technology's role in our lives, his latest book, In Search of Achilles, and the value of preserving human stories.The Intersection of Two Marcos: Marco Ciappelli introduces Marco Van Den Berg Scholten, highlighting their first encounter and the shared fascination with storytelling. Although Van Den Berg Scholten is Dutch, the two share the same first name, which serves as a bridge in their dialogue about technology and its impact on society.A Journey Through Time: Van Den Berg Scholten takes listeners on a journey through his life, beginning with his upbringing as a member of Generation X. His narrative is filled with twists and turns, from his love for basketball and its untimely interruption due to an injury, to his eventual role as a coach in the Netherlands' top league. Scholten outlines the process that led him to put his long-thought-of novel to paper, detailing the discipline required to balance writing and coaching.The Struggle for Moral Foundations: Central to the discussion is a shared concern over what Van Den Berg Scholten describes as humanity's increasingly tenuous grasp on moral values in the face of rapid technological advancement. Both Marcos explore the conflicts between old-world values and the capitalist-driven landscape that emerged post-Berlin Wall. Scholten likens the modern dilemma to the philosophical struggles depicted by Nietzsche and Heidegger, reiterating the essential need for a solid moral foundation amid changing times and technologies.Balancing Tradition with Change: The conversation transitions to how humanity can balance the undeniable benefits of technology with the risk of losing connection to deeper, time-tested values. Van Den Berg Scholten emphasizes the role of storytelling in ensuring that these moral values are passed on to future generations. He asserts that while technology like social media can unite us, it also has the potential to exploit and distort reality, especially among younger populations.Stories as a Medium of Connection: Ciappelli and Van Den Berg Scholten both agree on the enduring power of narrative to bind communities and convey essential truths. Ciappelli shares his own experiences of writing magical and morally-inclined stories for children with his mother, reflecting a shared conviction in the importance of instilling values through storytelling.Looking Ahead: Wrapping up the podcast, they touch upon the future of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on storytelling and human behavior.
