Cybersecurity has a bad reputation, and now is the time to rebrand it, showcasing it for what it really is: an industry full of opportunities, challenges and rewards. Once you get in, you never want to get out. So why is it so hard for cybersecurity to attract talent these days? Cybersecurity’s Bad Rap What is the first image that...

There are so many consequences that come with a data breach or cyberattack. The obvious ones are embarrassment at seeing your company in the headlines; upset customers who suddenly feel vulnerable or frustrated that your service is down due to a cyberattack; and if you are a public company, loss in investor and financial analyst confidence resulting in a likely...

This week in Austin, we held our third annual Women in Identity event during Navigate ’18. This has become one of my favorite events as it gives us each a welcomed opportunity to collaborate with a room full of very smart women.

This week, we celebrated International Women’s Day, a day dedicated to promoting gender parity. This is an important subject for me both on a personal and on a professional level, not just on International Women’s day, but every day.

To complete the process, I needed to provide a critical piece of information: my children’s social security numbers. When I first received their social security cards shortly after they were born, I physically locked...

We claim we are in a new era of cybersecurity threats and that ransomware is the threat du jour, given how WannaCry and Petya continue to make waves. But we are also in an era of a new wave of cybersecurity regulations. When looking at the latest attacks, some would argue that the same old vulnerabilities are to blame, and that is because organizations are dragging...

Despite the recent headline-grabbing proclamation from the man who created a ‘bible’ on password security that his advice was “wrong”, we are not giving up on passwords.
