We assembled some "nerds from the basement" to cover a key strategy in combatting evolving threats.

Today’s episode is going to take on a little different flavor, as we’re going to show you one particular tool that can impact a number of your security planning, training and discovery strategies.

While table top exercises are nothing new, we’re going to demonstrate how they’re evolving and can be customized according to your needs. We’re going to tackle the human element of cybersecurity by discussing communications strategies, and we’ll offer some insight on getting greater buy-in from throughout the organization, including the C-suite and those controlling the purse strings.

Joining me to discuss these topics and run through a mock exercise will be:

  • Navroop Mitter, the CEO and founder of ArmorText. His firm is a leader in secure out-of-band communications.
  • Matthew Welling, a partner at Crowell & Moring's Washington, D.C. office, where he works in the firm's Privacy & Cybersecurity Group.
  • Timothy Chase, the director of the Manufacturing ISAC, a non-profit organization and leading provider of threat intelligence sharing solutions.

In addition to the table top exercise, we'll discuss:

  • Communication challenges before, during and after an attack.
  • Response strategies and the evolving dynamic of out-of-band communications.
  • The ongoing challenges of addressing the Human Element of cybersecurity.
  • The impact of regulatory efforts and how they're playing a bigger role in attack response plans.
  • The types of tools or solutions that can play the biggest role in helping organizations respond to attacks more effectively.
  • How to control the emotional responses that will undoubtedly emanate from an attack.

Model Wars

Model Wars

On the surface, the modeling industry in the 80s was about parties and pretty clothes, but underneath the flash, there were drugs, sex, and violence. And Paul Fisher, a former straight-A student from the San Fernando Valley, rose to prominence amidst the turmoil. After a chance encounter with an alleged mobster, Paul suddenly found himself with a million dollars in funding and the chance to start a modeling agency in New York City. The city was then embroiled in a “model war” between industry titans Eileen Ford and John Casablancas, and Paul tried to make his mark. But even as Paul thrived in the party-heavy culture of the time, burning cash like a furnace, he came face to face with the darkest forces in the industry. As his shady backers put the screws to him, Paul faced down deadly consequences, trying to make a star while saving his soul.
