The Case for Giving IT a Raise

Earlier this month at the awesome O’Reilly Security Conference, I learned from world-leading security pros about the most serious threats facing IT. Hmm, sounds like that would make a great topic to discuss with the Inside Out Security Show panel – Cindy Ng, Kilian Englert, Kris Keyser, and Peter TerSteeg.

Let’s go meta. According to expert Becky Bace, you can generalize security challenges as a cycle of new attacks and vulnerabilities, requiring damage control and remedies, and then followed by newer and smarter attacks.

It’s always kind of the same problem, but dressed up a little differently each time.

Moreover, in the latest 2016 Deloitte-National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) Cybersecurity Study, 80% of the respondents say inadequate funding is one of the top barriers to effectively addressing cybersecurity threats.

That led me to wonder, how can we get more funding and stretch existing dollars for the Infosec department?

Our panelists discussed ways in which we can help businesses make and save money, the costs of a breach, and whether or not organizations should get cyberinsurance.

And towards the end of the show, we played make-believe IT deparment and pretended we got extra budget for our team.

Finally, we enjoyed a lighthearted IT moment as we discussed this tell-all article, 25 Infosec Gurus Admit to their Mistakes…and What They Learned from Them.
