Cybersecurity is the underpinning of helping protect these opportunities. By examining the influences that are shaping the cyber landscape, and hearing from security experts, industry thought leaders, our customers, and partners\u2014we help strengthen how Microsoft can protect these opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>This month we wrapped season three of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podcastone.com\/Afternoon-Cyber-Tea-with-Microsofts-Ann-Johnson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Afternoon Cyber Tea with Ann Johnson<\/a> where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/sandrajoyce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sandra Joyce<\/a>, a threat intelligence expert joined me for the concluding episode to talk about election security and protecting ourselves against misinformation. Our discussion was incredibly illuminating, and it is a perfect example of the ground we continue to cover in these thoughtful conversations.<\/p>\n<p>Each episode has surfaced perspectives on how our collective approach to cybersecurity ties directly to some of society\u2019s most pressing issues, including the need for more diverse voices in the industry, the impact of a global health emergency, and the urgent need to reframe how we think about security.<\/p>\n<h2>The impact of a pandemic on global operations<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/teambuild3r\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">James Turner<\/a>, an industry analyst who works to support chief information security officers (CISOs) and strengthen the resilience of the economies for Australia and New Zealand shared his insights in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podcastone.com\/episode\/Evaluating-Individual-and-Organizational-Cyber-Risk-in-a-Pandemic-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">season\u2019s first episode<\/a>. He reminded us of that cybersecurity is everyone\u2019s business, using the banking industry to emphasize collaboration between organizations on matters of security, even if those organizations are competitors. \u201c<em>The security operating centers at large banks are on speed dial with each other all the time because the attack against Company A hits Company B the next day.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Even during a global pandemic, which James has seen as a tremendous catalyst for information-sharing amid budget cuts and workforce impact, he says simply reaching out to peers remains critical to understanding and preventing threats.<\/p>\n<p>For Microsoft\u2019s Chief Information Security Officer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/bret-arsenault-97593b60\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bret Arsenault<\/a>, the pandemic has also reinforced the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podcastone.com\/episode\/Working-Through-It-Operational-Resilience-in-the-Face-of-Disaster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">planning and testing emergency scenarios<\/a> to combat bad actors who attempt to exploit human vulnerabilities and new realities of life and work online.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen a really big increase in ransomware and a lot of activity against Remote Desktop Protocol because so many people are remoting in. When you see broad usage, you will see broad bad actor campaigns against those things.\u201d<\/em>\u2014Microsoft\u2019s Chief Information Security Officer, Bret Arsenault, Microsoft<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So as companies advance their digital transformation, the best way to enable a productive workforce is to secure it with a solid strategy to mitigate opportunism. And while a little digital empathy goes a long way, getting employees to think responsibly about their own security can help remote workforces avoid risk, too.<\/p>\n<h2>Reframing cybersecurity as a business imperative<\/h2>\n<p>The human side of cybersecurity remains one of the trickiest but most critical areas to tackle in the industry. Many guests said it\u2019s integral to how they advise organizations on threat prevention and mitigation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/julesmgmt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jules Okafor<\/a>, CEO and founder of RevolutionCyber, built her entire company on the premise of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podcastone.com\/episode\/Jules-Okafor-Fortifying-securitystrategieswith-a-cyber-mindset\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">transforming institutional cyber mindset<\/a> to drive behavior change among employees after seeing too many organizations focused on selling security products instead of solving problems.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201c<em>That\u2019s not a cyber mindset. It\u2019s more about how do you surround people with cybersecurity in a way that helps them understand it will make them do their jobs better? Cybersecurity has to be better at aligning with the way people think.\u201d<\/em>\u2014Jules Okafor, CEO and founder, RevolutionCyber<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And I think all of my guests would agree cybersecurity should be prioritized throughout all levels and departments of an organization. Some companies are innovating how they do just that.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cHonestly, some of the most successful cybersecurity internal departments I\u2019ve seen have reported out of risk or finance, not technology.\u201d<\/em>\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/tarah\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tarah Wheeler<\/a>, Security Researcher and Fulbright Scholar<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Defining cybersecurity as one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podcastone.com\/episode\/Cybersecurity-Becomes-A-Business-Imperative\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pillars of a business<\/a> Tarah says, demonstrates that it is critical to your success and more than just an afterthought.<\/p>\n<p>This prioritization reflects a level of understanding that Sandra, my most recent guest, said has become paramount in today\u2019s threat landscape.<\/p>\n<p>As the head of Mandiant Intelligence at FireEye, Sandra discourages a prevention-only mindset. Instead, she advises organizations to assume attacks will happen and to conduct threat profiles that help them strategize how to mitigate the damage when breaches occur.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cIf you can understand where you sit in the ecosystem, you can prioritize more and, at the very least, get more efficient\u201d<\/em> she says. <em>\u201cDon\u2019t just look at the initial intrusion. Don\u2019t let the first day of an attack be the day you determine how to manage it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>But these steps are not limited to organizations. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/theresapayton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Theresa Payton<\/a>, CEO of Fortalice Solutions, and author of <em>Manipulated: Inside the Cyberwar to Hijack Elections and Distort the Truth<\/em>, also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podcastone.com\/episode\/Privacy-the-Pandemic-and-Protecting-Our-Cyber-Future-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">offered individuals advice<\/a> on how to guard against the influence of misinformation campaigns. Our conversation touched on the personal data collected by our devices, too, and what we trade for convenience and insights about the patterns of our lives.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201c<em>That ubiquitous nature of technology in our lives right now really does have an implication on both privacy but also the risk-versus-reward tradeoff when that data could be really helpful,\u201d<\/em> she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While AI-enabled voice assistants, intelligent appliances, and more can benefit users\u2014think, for example, of discovering an underlying health condition revealed by data collected by your smartwatch\u2014Theresa cautioned against the innumerable unknowns about how that data could be used. And she called on organizations and governing bodies to build security into design and guardrails that prevent helpful technology from hurting us.<\/p>\n<h2>The pressing need for more diverse voices in cybersecurity<\/h2>\n<p>I am grateful for the chance to talk with guests of unique backgrounds and experiences to hear what inspires them and how they are shaking up the white, male-dominated cybersecurity industry. It became clear that promoting diverse voices goes beyond tapping into a cultural moment\u2014it\u2019s about strengthening the entire industry.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/camillestewartesq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Camille Stewart<\/a>, head of security policy and election integrity for Android and Google Play, may <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podcastone.com\/episode\/Amplifying-cybersecuritys-diverse-voices-to-strengthen-the-industry-Part-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">have put it best<\/a> when she said, \u201c<em>Racism is inherently a cybersecurity issue because people are at the core of how security controls are adopted and how technology is used. If we do not address issues of systemic racism, the processes and institutions that we are building security into are inherently vulnerable<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In other words, diversity is threat mitigation, in and of itself.<\/p>\n<p>That is why Camille\u2019s collaboration with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/laurenz1010\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lauren Zabierek<\/a>, executive director of the Cyber Project at Harvard Kennedy School\u2019s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs is so compelling. Together, they launched the #ShareTheMicInCyber campaign to amplify diverse, expert voices in cybersecurity and share insights to help organizations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.podcastone.com\/episode\/Amplifying-cybersecuritys-diverse-voices-to-strengthen-the-industry-Part-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">identify blind spots<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It is an important reminder that the cybersecurity industry is a community and that our ability to protect against threats is only as strong as our ability to identify them\u2014together.<\/p>\n<p>This is something I have so valued this season. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/security\/blog\/2020\/10\/20\/ciso-spotlight-how-diversity-of-data-and-people-defeats-todays-cyber-threats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The diversity of expertise<\/a>, experiences, and backgrounds reflected in these episodes are, on a grander scale, helping to shape and improve our collective understanding of cybersecurity. I hope you will find useful takeaways from these leaders who are at the fore of securing and strengthening our industry.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to all who listened to season three of Afternoon Cyber Tea.
