Key Quotes:
“Cybersecurity controls or just those little, tiny benchmarks that you can do to help make yourself a more secure person or a more secure organization, and those vary. Cybersecurity controls are going to vary based on what we would call your risk profile.” [Braden, 10:46]
“It’s really important that folks remember that no matter how big or small you are as an organization, you are at risk. Maybe how you are targeted could be different, maybe an attacker won't spend as much time trying to target you individually, but you are still very much at risk.” [Braden, 13:51]
“Security and privacy are two completely different, and it actually kind of breaks my heart how often they are considered to be one thing, when in reality, privacy is really just about how you handle a person’s data.” [Bradon, 29:47]
“Identity management is just making sure that we are using strong, unique usernames and passwords, two-factor authentication, and maybe even if you’re a bit of a bigger organization, using something like single sign-on services.” [Bradon, 44:27]
