Matt Morin: If you Prevent… why the need to Detect and Respond? Traditional Endpoint Protection solutions are focused on preventing the initial infection, but miss the rest of the Adaptive Security Architecture tasks. Adaptive Security Architecture is a term coined by Gartner  to describe a security posture that includes Prediction, Prevention, Detection and Responsiveness. Cylance has been in the prediction and prevention business since the beginning. However, some may not be aware that we also have a strong Detection and Response solution. For some, those may seem to be opposites in philosophy. Matt Morin is here to explain how they are merely two sides to the data protection coin. In this week’s episode of DirtySecurity, Edward Preston talks with Cylance Sr Product Manager Matt Morin on the role of an EDR solution for data centers who have a successful prevention security posture. About Matt Morin Matt Morin is a Senior Product Manager at Cylance for Cylance’s Endpoint Detect and Response solution, Optics.

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. The pressure is on businesses now to respect and protect the privacy of people across the UK and European Union. About Anton Grashion Anton Grashion, PhD (@doctor_know) is Managing Director, Security Practice at Cylance. Anton has a Masters in Computer Science and PhD in Aritificial Intelligence from Staffordshire University. He’s been in the security game for over 25 years, having founded one of the UK’s first email security-as-a-service companies in 1989. When not working to secure every device under the sun, Anton is a beekeeper and self-describe “rabid” rugby league fan.

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.

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.
