In discussing the recent acquisition of Imperva into the Thales fold, Nanhi Singh, VP Application Security and Customer Success at Imperva, and Todd Moore, Global Head of Data Security Products at Thales, dive deep into the many areas of security that will be positively affected, including APIs, bots and of course, generative AI. This is not a self-congratulation conversation: it’s a roadmap for heightened data security, with host Steve Prentice.
Guests: James Leaton Gray, Director at The Privacy Practice, a firm that specializes in privacy and data protection and Haider Iqbal Manager of Product Marketing for Thales Identity and Access Management business.
Trust is vital to the relationship between companies and their customers, especially when it comes to protecting data. But companies have been traditionally confronted by a resistance on the part of consumers to adopt safe online practices like MFA. But is this changing now. James and Haider join host Steve Prentice for a lively discussion on the nature of trust, security technology and the findings within the Digital Trust Index report. They present some intriguing new strategies for companies looking to keep their customers and their operations safe.
We had a great year talking with experts on a range of security topics, so who better to turn to for prognostications for the new year? Here’s a collection of predictions from some of our guests.
The practice of using different passwords for the hundreds or thousands of online locations we visit has grown quite out of control and long ago fell short of being a practical or secure process. In this episode, we discuss the practicality of Self-Sovereign Identities, in which a person’s individual, identifiable self is based on attributes and behaviours rather than centrally stored data. Is this the future of secure identity online? And if so, who gets to run it?
The data about ourselves is willingly submitted to organizations every time we make a purchase, open an account, or simply move around, online and in-person. Where does it go? Who owns it? What do they do with it? Steve Prentice talks with Justin Sherman, who thinks we should be more proactive about understanding the roles data brokers play in our lives and our futures.
The concepts behind Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion have been practiced by some organizations in the past, but in this new era where the border lines between work and life are becoming increasingly blurred, and where technologies are helping people contribute in ways never seen before, it’s a good time to reassess what DEI is and how central it is to an organization. Dwan Jones of ISC2 brings her wisdom, some actionable tips, and a great role model organization to follow.
Is there such a thing as a quantum computing cryptopocalypse? Will we see the end of current security practices within the next few years, and what does this mean for the data that organizations would like to keep safe for longer than that? Nemertes CEO Johna Till Johnson and Bob Burns, Chief Product Security Officer at Thales, join host Steve Prentice to explain it all, and – of course – what you should do about it.
Cloud continues to evolve, but so too do the human organizations that depend on it. Companies expand into new territories, they buy other companies, or get bought, and the vendors with whom they drew up contracts also change, evolve, and farm out work. It’s a landscape of shifting sands where you can never be quite sure of who you’re really dealing with. Host Steve Prentice invites Sean Heide from Cloud Security Alliance and Chris Holland, VP Cloud Services Thales, to weigh in.
When you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Cybercriminals continue to succeed in discovering flaws and weaknesses in every connected technology. From zero days to SQL injection, what most people see as technology designed to perform a specific task, they see as a door, a window, or even a simple crack through which they can gain access. On this episode, host Steve Prentice talks with Amanda Widdowson, Head of Human Factors Capability at Thales UK, and Freaky Clown, the co-CEO and Co-Founder, Head of Ethical Hacking at Cygenta about what makes the criminal mind so good at thinking outside the box, and more importantly, how we can develop those skills inside security professionals, senior managers, and everyday people.
Companies and cloud providers around the world are tackling the thorny issue of digital sovereignty, seeking to protect their customer’s data as it travels across physical borders, while simultaneously respecting the various data privacy laws already in place. But digital sovereignty is not just a matter of location. On this episode, host Steve Prentice talks with Nellie Porter, head of product, Google Cloud Confidential Computing, and Todd Moore, Vice President of encryption products at Thales about the challenges of transparency, the use of encryption, and the rise of AI as powerful influences on true digital sovereignty, and what this means to your data in the cloud and on-prem.
Over the past few years, the definition of the chief information security officer (CISO) has changed as business environments have evolved. With digital transformation, cloud and hybrid working taking an increasingly dominant role in the day-to-day operations of the typical organization, the CISO has a unique and highly valuable role to play. However, a shortage of qualified IT workers at a time of high demand has put many leaders in a difficult situation – is there a so called “skills gap”? Or does the industry have an “attitude gap”?
Today, data breaches are so endemic that it could be argued that consumers are becoming numb to the effects – they change their passwords, get a few reassuring emails from the company and more often than not nothing comes of it. Of course, businesses will feel the impact, and perhaps after repeated breaches consumers might start getting worried, but is the idea that a large data breach could seal an organisations fate too far fetched?
Joining Neira Jones to discuss the Thales Consumer Trust Index in this episode are Philippe Vallée, Executive Vice-President, Digital Identity and Security at Thales and Professor Carsten Maple, Professor of Cyber Systems Engineering and Director for Cyber Security Research, at the University of Warwick.
For this episode, Kevin Williams, VP Americas Sales at Thales Cloud Protection & Licensing and Michael Bahar, Partner & Co-Lead of Global Cybersecurity and Data Privacy at Eversheds Sutherland, join Neira Jones to discuss the current cybersecurity, privacy and regulatory landscape in the Americas.
More digital has meant mean more cloud. The pandemic and the shift to hybrid working has prompted an acceleration in the adoption of cloud technologies by IT leaders worldwide, which looks set to continue for the foreseeable future. Previously, organizations have primarily looked at new application development and deployment for cloud, taking a ‘cloud first’ approach. However many have now pivoted towards a ‘cloud now’ approach.
In this episode, we discuss what we mean by cyber insurance, and why are we seeing more companies take out policies. We will also look at what types of threats are covered and how cyber insurance jurisdiction works across different regions.
The experts joining, Neira Jones, for this episode are Danna Bethlehem, Product Marketing Director at Thales and Anthony Dagostino, CEO and Co-Founder, Converge.
In this episode we explore the typical style of ransomware attacks, look at who is carrying them out, and discuss some best practice protective strategies
Joining our regular host, Neira Jones, for this episode are Paul Chichester, Director of Operations of the UK National Cyber Security Centre, and Bob Burns, Chief Product Security Officer at Thales.
Attacking OT systems presents a major threat not only to business disruption, but also to national economy and security. So how can we strengthen the security posture of critical infrastructure?
Joining our regular host, Neira Jones, for this episode are François Lasnier, VP Authentication and Access Management Products at Thales and Sid Shaffer, VP and Chief Delivery Officer at ITEGRITI.
In this bonus podcast episode, Rob Elliss, Vice President of Sales, EMEA at Thales Cloud Security joins Neil Hughes to discuss the rise of the sovereign cloud. They discuss how data sovereignty is not just about localization; it is ensuring that nation-states can store their data in their own country and control access to it.
In this episode, Asaf Lerner, Director, Product Management at Thales Cloud Protection & Licensing and Uri Rivner, Founder & CEO, at Regutize join our host Neira Jones to answer the question – are our digital identities really safe?
In this episode, we discuss trends and predictions for 2022. Will we be seeing more of the same?
