Episode #9: Strengthening Your Organization's Cybersecurity Culture

There’s a shortage of people qualified to work in cybersecurity, and we need to do something about that. But what is that “something?” Let’s be honest here, we’re not going to change that situation overnight. It takes years to acquire the kind of skills needed to pursue the education, experience and credentials required. But what can we do in the meantime? We’ve said it before on Code Red: we’re all involved in security, to one degree or another. What can we do to effectively raise awareness and change behavior?This episode’s guest offers some insights. While at our annual conference in Orlando, Code Red sat down to discuss these and other issues with Servio Medina, CISSP, Chief Operating Officer of the Cybersecurity Policy Branch at the US Defense Health Agency. Servio sees opportunities in changing the way we think about educating each other in this field, and discusses burnout, math, lifestyles and other topics, and how they relate to cyber-education. After listening to this episode, the phrase “It makes sense to me” will take on a whole new dimension. This Episode’s GuestServio Medina, CISSPCheif Operating Officer, Cybersecurity Policy BranchUS Defense Health AgencyLearn more about ServioFollow Servio on Twitter: @serviofmedinaLearn about the US Defense Health AgencyThis Episode’s Audience AskHow does your organization "make sense" of an enterprise-wide approach to cybersecurity?  How has your organizational culture around cybersecurity changed over the past few years?  Any lessons to share with others?
