In an interview between Carole Theriault and Martin Overton, Theriault plays, “Covered by cyber Insurance, True or False” with Overton, who once worked for a large cyber insurance company. Overton describes himself as a
Are you sick of the marketing hype suggesting some “Next Gen” security device can solve all your security problems? Yes? Good. If not, maybe you should be.

Well, it seems that if you Google “California GDPR”, ironically you might find results indicating that Google is none-too-happy, for one. Yes, that’s right, California has passed,
Several sources have recently reported the discovery of a ‘flaw’ in certain SAML implementations that could allow a ‘bad actor’ to alter the identity carried in a Single Sign-On SAML assertion and legitimately log in as a different user as reported by TechTarget. Wow – that’s bad! That was my initial reaction, and I envisioned
In part 5 of 6 Vlogs, CTI’s Director of Cybersecurity, Ben Thurston makes the connection between cybersecurity monitoring and analytics. Ben explains the importance of analytics in gathering data and information from multiple security sources to provide insight into what is going on from a security/risk posture.
