Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 184: Cybersecurity Policy Development as a Journey
Q: What is one key takeaway you wish SLTTs understood about policy development and implementation?
Policy development is a journey, not a big-bang event. It requires gradual, continuous improvement, alignment with organizational practices, and sustained effort even when funding or enrollment changes; start with achievable baselines, keep stakeholders engaged, and build from there.
Episode 184: Cybersecurity Policy Development as a Journey
Q: So, what initially motivated you and your team to adopt the CIS policy templates?
The superintendent's push to create a cybersecurity program, driven by state requirements in Texas, prompted the district to look for a practical framework. Brock explains how they moved from no program to using CIS policy templates and CIS controls to structure governance and start addressing findings.
Episode 176: A Cybersecurity Journey of Incremental Wins
Q: So walk us through a use case where the Assessor made a measurable impact.
Brock describes starting with the district's general workforce computers, running a baseline report, and using the results to identify an immediate set of 80 or so IG1-based recommendations, which the team then beta-tested and documented to create a concrete path forward with quick wins.
Episode 172: Helping CISOs as a CIS Controls Ambassador
Q: How does your thought process work when building your innovation pipeline?
Chirag emphasizes that understanding the impact of innovations is crucial. He aims to address challenges faced by CISOs by sharing lessons learned from his experiences, enabling others to succeed without making the same mistakes.
Episode 170: Visibility for SLTTs in Blocking Typhoon APTs
Q: What are starting to see in the evolution of TTPs from the typhoon type APTs?
They have shifted more to leveraging built-in tools to blend in, making it harder for defenses to detect unusual activity.
