He emphasizes the importance of having a breadth of understanding in cybersecurity and the challenges of keeping up with the evolving industry. The conversation also touches on the common risks and concerns across different verticals, the need to raise the cost for attackers, and the debate on platforms and consolidation in the cybersecurity market. The conversation explores the disruption and changing landscape of security, the importance of consolidation and simplification, the future of security, the role of Zero Trust and AI, and fun food experiences. Takeaways • Having a breadth of understanding is crucial in the field of cybersecurity, as it covers a wide range of topics including governance, legislation, infrastructure, and more. • The role of a VCISO (Virtual Chief Information Security Officer) has emerged as a way to provide strategic security guidance to organizations without the need for a full-time dedicated CISO. • The state of cybersecurity in 2024 is characterized by the increasing threat of ransomware and the need for organizations to have a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. • Consolidation in the cybersecurity market is a topic of debate, with some advocating for platform solutions while others emphasize the importance of diversity and integration. Customers are becoming more aware of the disruption and changing nature of security solutions, leading to a desire for more consolidated and simplified approaches. • Consolidation and simplification can lead to improved efficiency, cost savings, and better risk management. • The future of security may involve advancements in AI and the development of more accessible and user-friendly AI products. • Zero Trust remains important, particularly in the federal space, but there is a need to make it more tangible and easier to implement. • Food experiences can be memorable and enjoyable, even in unexpected places.

  • David Morimanno, the Tony Stark of Identity
    May 2 2024
    Identity is involved in everything we do, and many skills from other IT fields can easily transition into the identity space. It's important to understand the breadth of what identity is trying to accomplish, which is to allow others to interact and consume services in a frictionless and secure manner. There are many resources available to learn about identity, including tutorials, classes, and industry websites. Machine identities, such as IoT devices, also need to be treated as identities and have the same controls and management in place. When choosing identity solutions, it's important to understand the organization's objectives, challenges, and requirements before considering specific vendors or tools. In this conversation, with John Spiegel and Jaye Tillson, David Morimanno emphasizes the importance of having a sound plan and strategy before implementing identity and access management solutions. He highlights the significance of interpersonal and communication skills in the field of identity access management, as every action has an impact on the business. David also stresses the need to understand the business's workflows and goals when implementing solutions. He advises against rushing the implementation process and emphasizes the importance of patience and continuous improvement. Additionally, he emphasizes the value of building a solid team and following industry frameworks.
