DirtySecurity Podcast: Anton Grashion: The Private Parts of Security Does privacy even exist any more? Who has access to you and your data? The launch of GDPR in Europe, the signing of the Japanese Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI), and the Brazilian Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) started a global shift toward comprehensive data privacy regulations. Gartner predicts that by the end of 2018, more than 50 percentof companies affected by GDPR will not be in full compliance with the requirements. With just a few weeks left to go in the year, many global organizations still fail to adhere to the regulation’s strict conditions and are instead taking a wait-and-see approach. They mistakenly believe compliance only affects large organizations with deep pockets. Cylance provides needed resources to organizations that don’t have the IT and personnel budgets to meet compliance regulations on their own—from identification to remediation to ongoing prevention. In this week’s episode of DirtySecurity, Edward Preston talks with Cylance Managing Director of Security Practice Dr Anton Grisham about living in a post-GDPR world.

Chris Stephen on What Separates Cylance from the Herd For over a century, IBM has urged the world to “Think.” In 1997, Apple challenged the world to “Think Different.” In 2012, Cylance picked up that mantle and charged at the Cybersecurity world with a different approach to protecting endpoints. Was this legit? Is Cylance actually doing things differently in a way that is improving cybersecurity and not just renaming existing approaches? Chris Stephen is on the front lines of the ongoing battle to protect datacenters and networks worldwide. He is a  Sales Engineer who works in the government and education sector and thus sees the kind of targeted attacks that can cripple a municipality and cause real damage to the nation’s infrastructure. In this week’s episode of DirtySecurity, guest host Matt Stephenson talks with Chris about what Cylance is doing that is so fundamentally different from the old guard of the cybersecurity industry and the new kids trying to make a splash. Are Cylance’s claims about Artificial Intelligence real? Tune in and judge for yourself. About Chris Stephen Chris Stephen is a Senior Sales Engineer for Cylance based in the Southeast United States.
