Who are you?

This episode dives into one of the most challenging cybersecurity topics currently on the docket – identity management. 

My conversation with Brandon Traffanstedt, Sr. Director and Global Technology Officer at CyberArk, took us in two equally important directions. The first deals with individuals and how to properly manage those accessing your systems and networks. The second, equally as challenging, but potentially more complex, focused on machine or asset identities and understanding how to keep this sprawling attack landscape more secure. 

Perhaps most interestingly, Brandon also offers some insight on cookies-based attacks and how, like so many cybersecurity challenges, the answers doesn’t lie in the tech stack.

Watch/listen as we also discuss:

  • Solving identify management strategies by finding baseline controls.
  • The unique dynamics of manufacturing when it comes to risk analysis and establishing these baselines.
  • The role of asset visibility when it comes to identity management strategies.
  • How to prevent those age-old turf battles between IT and OT.
  • Why machine identities might pose the greatest cybersecurity risk.
  • The importance of empathy in getting people to buy in to cybersecurity strategies and training.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
