Recommendations on addressing the additional detailing of the supply chain which might be part of any major applications

    Ensure that COTS/Third Party Suppliers/SaaS are documented on the security context diagram, threat model, CMDB and any other sources of record, as well as potential platforms which might support them as part of their digital supply chain

    Ensuring that these dependencies are captured will help to better identify supply chain risks, threat model potential mitigations for them, as well as a myriad of other detection and response activities

    When managing cybersecurity in an organization, most organizations tussle with essential foundational components. This practitioner’s guide lays down those foundational components with real client examples and pitfalls to avoid.

    A plethora of cybersecurity management resources are available―many with sound advice, management approaches, and technical solutions―but few with one common theme that pulls together management and technology, focusing on executive oversight. Author Ryan Leirvik helps solve these common problems by providing a clear, easy-to-understand, and easy-to-deploy foundational cyber risk management approach applied to your entire organization.
    The book provides tools and methods in a straight-forward practical manner to guide the management of your cybersecurity program and helps practitioners pull cyber from a “technical” problem to a “business risk management” problem, equipping you with a simple approach to understanding, managing, and measure cyber risk for your enterprise.

    What You Will Learn

    Educate the executives/board on what you are doing to reduce risk
    Communicate the value of cybersecurity programs and investments through insightful risk-informative metrics
    Know your key performance indicators (KPIs), key risk indicators (KRIs), and/or objectives and key results
    Prioritize appropriate resources by identifying program-related gaps
    Lay down the foundational components of a program based on real examples, including pitfalls to avoid

    INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION OF CYBERSECURITY PROFESSIONALS Spearheaded "Breaking into Cybersecurity" with Renee Smalls where we interviewed individuals who have transitioned into the cybersecurity industry within the past 5 years. Interviewed hundreds of stakeholders to gain tips and tricks from the challenges that they might have faced in their journey and how to overcome those challenges. Over the years we have had hundreds of people that have commented on how much these podcasts have helped their careers and transitioning to cybersecurity. This provided tremendous value to those candidates and hiring managers who are interesting in changing the industry for the better. Monitored industry trends for changes in technology stacks as well as demands from hiring managers. Devised findings from hiring both from the hiring, as well as the applicant side, to see with the disconnects potentially lay, as well as ways to remediate the issues. - Website: https://www.cyberhubpodcast.com/breakingintocybersecurity - Podcast: https://anchor.fm/breakingintocybersecurity https://feeds.sounder.fm/19701/rss.xml - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BreakingIntoCybersecurity - Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/breaking-into-cybersecurity/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/BreakintoCyber Reach out to me for speaking fees.
