"Cybersecurity: What The C-Suite Needs To Know" with Mike Foster of the Foster Institute (USA)

"Companies need to identify the third parties they work with
because if they lose data, YOUR company's going to be facing the
problem even though you weren't the one that lost the data'.


GBD52. Expert certified 'ethical hacker' and top-rated
tech speaker Mike Foster of the Foster Institute took time off
from planning conference keynotes to talk to us during a skiing
break in Montana. He tells Kyle Hannan (AICPA & CIMA,
UK) about the ICT journey that has taken him from the C64s of
yesterday to the CTOs of tomorrow. There are
some foundational and practical steps to boost organisational
protection against increasingly universal
vulnerabilities.


 


WE DISCUSS:


best practices and strategies.

2-factor authentication.

security 'DMZ's for 3rd-party assurance.
