Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast CISO David Lindner | 3/3

Insight #1

"June 11th, 2023 is getting closer. Have you started pulling together information for the government’s requirement of self-attestation as to the security practices you follow in your SDLC for any software used or purchased by the U.S. federal government? What about SBOMs, are you in the process to be able to provide those if requested?"
 

Insight #2

"CISA telling the tech industry to prioritize and take responsibility for secure products is like telling your children to eat their vegetables. This will always be a give-and-take between consumers and producers of software and both parties need to be cognizant of their security practices."
 

Insight #3

"Cyber security insurance continues to evolve. I recommend keeping an eye out for your current policy and any changes that may be coming, like splitting out “Technology Errors and Omissions” into its own policy which would include security vulnerabilities leading to a breach."
