Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast CISO David Lindner | 11/25

Insight #1

"The recent FTX and Twitter debacles should really have people thinking about the security and privacy of their data. It proves that nothing is forever and the more times we enter personal information into a site, the more likely it will be lost or stolen in the future. How often do you scrub your data or delete accounts you are no longer using?"
 

Insight #2

"I really love what the government is trying to achieve, and the recent BOD 23-01 directive really hits home. Making sure you accurately understand your cyber assets and their attack surfaces is critical in trying to defend them. One thing we know is that most regulations that start in the government make their way into the mainstream public sector in some way, shape, or form. Are you doing asset discovery well?"
 

Insight #3

"Do you use the same password across multiple accounts? Spend 5 minutes today changing them, or even one of them and you will be in a better place."
