Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast CISO David Lindner | 1/13

Insight #1

"SBOMS are coming to fruition. Two major components to work through are the creation of an SBOM by producers, and the consumption of SBOMS by consumers. The latter will be the most difficult, but I look forward to the future of transparency."
 

Insight #2

"NIST 800-63B was created and released in June of 2017. We are coming up on 6 years of them telling us that length trumps complexity for passwords and we should not be arbitrarily changing passwords unless suspected of compromise. When is the industry going to listen?"
 

Insight #3

"For organizations looking to add or modify their cyber security insurance policies, insurers are starting to require MFA for critical self-hosted applications. Start looking at these now, add to your procurement processes, and work with your vendors to make sure MFA is an option for their on-premise solutions."
