The SecurityANGLE with Shelly Kramer: Navigating Cyber Insurance: Key Considerations for the C-Suite
The Cube
March 30, 2024
Navigating Cyber Insurance: Key Considerations for the C-Suite. Unlock cybersecurity insights with The SecurityANGLE podcast — a deep dive into the latest digital defense trends with Shelly Kramer. With cybercrime expected to cause $10.5 trillion in damages by 2025, it’s time to get smart about #cyberinsurance. Join Shelly Kramer & Jo Peterson for SecurityANGLE with Mark Lynd.
In this Kitecast episode, Mark discusses the significance of GRC (Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance) in today’s technology landscape, which is being propelled by accelerated evolution in cyber threats, third-party risks, and data security issues in the cloud. One outcome is that organizations must prioritize GRC strategies rather than making them an afterthought. In addition, Mark argues that Digital Rights Management (DRM) is critical when implementing a GRC strategy that addresses a zero-trust model focused on protecting sensitive content.
Beyond connecting GRC with DRM, Mark also speaks about artificial intelligence (AI), why it is important to teach cybersecurity life skills to teenagers, what he will be covering in his next book, how lack of DRM governance in the higher education sector is exposing national secrets, and more. This is an insightful discussion for anyone interested in learning from a proven leader who is dedicated to digital transformation and cybersecurity.
This presentation is for K12's leadership in Texas, California, Arizona, and Florida regarding making investments into creating and maintaining a Zero Trust framework and architecture for their environments.
We at Promereon Group asked Mark Lynd, Head of Digital Business at Netsync, for a #WorldBackupDay 2023 quote with his advice, insights, and thoughts on this huge topic, here's what he had to say.
Thought Leader Quote for Data Privacy
Promereon Group
March 06, 2023
We asked the head of Digital Business at NETSYNC Mark Lynd, for his thoughts on the topic of #DataPrivacy:
"Threat intelligence's cyber resiliency-boosting power is generally overlooked. By understanding threat actors' current tactics, and techniques, businesses can improve situational awareness, cybersecurity spending, risk exposure, and security posture."
Zero Trust - A word floating around our industry and gracing the front pages of the tech press. But what is it and how can IT organizations and security teams start their Zero Trust journey without stifling innovation? Join Dell's Herb Kelsey and industry expert Mark Lynd, as they cut through the hype and get to the reality of Zero Trust today.

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Streaming Graph"
The Bloor Group
June 10, 2024
Cybersecurity experts are drowning in false positives and data breaches are in the news every other week. Digital twins, advanced persistent threat detection, insider threat detection, attack graph analysis, and a dozen different powerful use cases all require the deep relationship analytics best done on a graph data model. But if you’re going to catch cyber criminals before the company name is all over the next news cycle, you need it now, not hours too late.
In order to find and stop advanced persistent threats and insider threats, DARPA and Crowdstrike funded a new technology, not limited by the time windows all other event stream processors must use or the graph database inability to scale. Come learn along with Top 5 Cybersecurity Thought Leader Mark Lynd about thatDot Streaming Graph and thatDot Novelty, powered by open-source Quine. thatDot takes the speed of event stream processing and combines it with the depth of graph analysis to stop threats in milliseconds.
Cybersecurity Workshop & Incident Response Tabletop with Mark Lynd
Netsync
August 02, 2023
Educational tabletop event (Murder - Mystery Style Format) to gain hands-on experience with incident response. This event is perfect for anyone who wants to be better prepared for cyber incidents or wants to improve their incident response capabilities.
By 2024, we can expect to see greater integration of AI in cybersecurity solutions, which will significantly enhance our ability to detect and respond to threats. However, it's important to acknowledge that AI also brings with it some new risks, such as adversarial attacks and concerns around data privacy. Striking a balance between leveraging the benefits of AI while mitigating its drawbacks will be crucial.
Global supply chains and critical infrastructure will continue to be prime targets for ransomware attacks in the coming years. To protect against such threats organizations should adopt proactive measures like implementing near real-time recovery systems and having comprehensive incident response plans in place.
There will be a rise in disinformation campaigns that utilize realistic fake content generated by AI as a means to manipulate public opinion and extort money. To combat this growing cyberattack vector effectively organizations must prioritize source verification techniques, and implement reliable methods for authenticating online information.
As technology advances at an accelerated pace throughout 2024, cyber threats will become even more sophisticated. Maintaining continuous vigilance and adaptability will be key factors in staying ahead of these evolving challenges.
"As we head into 2023, the unprecedented convergence of geopolitical tensions, rising attack surfaces, supply chain obstacles, intensifying threat vectors, economic instability, and a pandemic have forced organizations and individuals to adapt in ways that will forever shape our lives and how businesses secure themselves. The far-reaching implications of these events will be felt throughout 2023, and reinforces the need to be proactive in quantifying and mitigating cyber risk both personally and professionally. Quantifying cyber risk is critical to understanding their cyber spend and also how they cyber insure to cover any unacceptable risk. Due to all these issues cybersecurity teams are burnt-out, over-worked and facing greater threats than ever before and it is impacting their cyber efforts and affecting us all both personally and professionally.
Therefore, many organizations and their leadership are putting greater thought into automation and artificial intelligence to help take some of the load off of their over-worked security teams and also to allow for their leadership and teams to accomplish more with less. This is especially important given the rise in the number of attacks and their increasing sophistication. AI and automation can be used to handle some of this tedious and time-consuming work and give leadership greater visibility into their security environment. Lastly, threat intelligence and incident response were receiving more attention and greater acceptance in the second half of 2022 and rightfully so. We should expect that to continue to accelerate throughout 2023."
In 2022, public and private sector organizations and their CIOs and CISOs will face a far more challenging cybersecurity environment as cyber-attacks are increasingly more sophisticated and destructive, even using artificial intelligence. This alarming evolution that affects almost everyone coupled with the rapid digital transformation of nearly every organization globally has dramatically increased the attack surfaces and number of threat vectors for organizations big and small. According to a recent report by Shred-it, 67% of small businesses in the U.S. do not have an incident response plan. This lack of preparedness is likely even worse globally. The truth is most organizations have spent money, time, and resources on prevent and detect and very little on respond leaving them vulnerable and at high risk. Therefore, many leading organizations, their boardrooms and leadership are thinking about cybersecurity differently and assuming they will be hit at some point and investing to be better prepared if they do. They are increasingly looking to other technologies and cyber frameworks like the cloud, Zero Trust, machine learning, NIST, Identity and Access Management, threat intelligence and others. This trend will continue throughout 2022 and beyond as the stark reality that these nefarious activities are not decreasing but increasing as the bad actors continue to profit from it.
