@joltsik Good points, Jon. Last 5 yrs we've adopted zero trust.

CISOs: understand that you can't trust if you can't authenticate & authorize human & machine entities

The George Washington CISOs need to shift their perspective & adopt a new mindset: Identity is the core of cybersecurity

[Jon Oltsik @joltsik]

At this year's @RSAConference, @NH_Candy, president of @ISSAINTL and I will present on new research, detailing cybersecurity professionals' opinions about technology, vendors, and the industry. Joins us! https://t.co/U3CQe7yrxk #cybersecurity #infosec #ESG #RSAC #RSAC2022

Summary of the XDR evaluation from another analyst firm: 1) We define the category, 2) We make the rules, 3) We choose the contestants, 4) We do some cursory research, 5) We call the winners and losers. Huh? #cybersecurity #infosec #XDR #EDR #SIEM #SOAPA

[Doug Cahill @DougCahill]

Colleague Carla Roncato @BetterIdentity offers an indentirati perspective ahead of #RSAC 2021 rightfully highlighting the central role of identities in #CyberAttack chains https://t.co/rmi9Vmpu1m

[Doug Cahill @DougCahill]

24 cyber professionals and me spotlight 30 of the greatest myths of cloud security in this article by @dspark of @CISOSeries. https://t.co/ca5oQQREkz #cloudsecurity #devsecops #CyberSecurity

[Doug Cahill @DougCahill]

Just thrilled to welcome Carla Roncato @BetterIdentity to @esg_global and @SearchSecurity to lead coverage of #identityandaccessmanagement and #datasecurity! #CyberSecurity

[Doug Cahill @DougCahill]

It's great to see so many advances as of late to make #MFA frictionless and thus, hopefully, more broadly adopted, en route to @passwordless. @akamai #IAM https://t.co/MqVXN2Wi9q

[Doug Cahill @DougCahill]

Arrrrrgh! The frequency and annoyance of MacOs updates is all too Windowsish.

[Doug Cahill @DougCahill]

Leveraging #APM #observability for #cybersecurity #appsec use cases makes a ton of sense and it starts with a collaborative approach that leads to #devsecops maturity.

[Nils Swart @NLNils]

In light of today's announcement of "AppDynamics w/ Cisco Secure Application" would be remiss not to mention @DougCahill and team's excellent work on a maturity model for security/dev collaboration. Tangible benefits!

[Doug Cahill @DougCahill]

#kubernetes is the cloud-native application operating system making protecting K8 clusters critical. Kudos to all on this news! #cybersecurity #cloudsecurity

[Jon Oltsik @joltsik]

@rapid7 buys Alcide. ESG's cloud security guru, @DougCahill believes this is a good move as it complements @DivvyCloud with Kubernetes security: https://t.co/SAvXlnNmYi #cybersecurity #infosec #cloudsecurity #kubernetes

[Doug Cahill @DougCahill]

Interested in the industry analyst view of the dynamic #cybersecurity market? We’re hiring – contact me if you’re interested in learning more.

[Doug Cahill @DougCahill]

Competence and integrity. What a relief!

[Doug Cahill @DougCahill]

This recent report from @CISAgov highlights the need for better #cloudsecurity hygiene to thwart the phishing of privileged cloud credentials and more, issues surfaced in @esg_global's recent #identityandaccessmanagement research #cybersecurity https://t.co/9aOjmUesRw

[Doug Cahill @DougCahill]

Good fun chatting about #cloudsecurity with @dspark and Mike Johnson on this episode of the #CISOseries. Love this podcast and was thrilled to be asked to join. #cybersecurity #devsecops

[David Spark @dspark]

What’s the difference between a VAR and a LAR (Large account reseller)? On CISO/Security Vendor Relationship Podcast we welcome @DougCahill of @esg_global. Thanks to sponsor @dtexsystems. Listen: https://t.co/asXJwcLeML #CISOseries

[Doug Cahill @DougCahill]

@fsmontenegro I agree, Fernando. Ditto post CapOne.

[Fernando Montenegro @fsmontenegro]

To InfoSec vendors out there: there’s a VERY fine line between educating your customers about SUNBURST and, in practice, performing the worst ambulance chasing practices so many of us despise. Tread carefully. #analystlife #archat

[Doug Cahill @DougCahill]

Can a mature secure DevOps program actually accelerate the delivery of new builds to production? New @Cisco sponsored @esg_global research allows project teams to benchmark their #DevSecOps maturity. https://t.co/KKNGifAtdO #cloudsecurity #cybersecurity @ciscosecure @AppDynamics

[Doug Cahill @DougCahill]

Great Q. Sure, keep 'em in place to secure your on-prem environment, but cloud requires retooling with controls which integrate into the CI/CD toolchain, can drive policy off metadata like tags, and more. #cloudsecurity

[Dr. Anton Chuvakin @anton_chuvakin]

Without excessive (!) cynicism and cursing, what useful things can you tell people who want to keep *all* the security controls/tools they have on-premise when moving to the cloud? #question

[Doug Cahill @DougCahill]

Awww, bummer. Always enjoyed Tommy's rants and will miss is colorful color commentary. RIP.

[RS Turner @RsTner]

I remember him constantly storming the sideline in front of The Celtics bench, CONSTANTLY working the refs. He also could add color commentary to a basketball game like nobody else I’ve ever heard. Bye Tommy. Thanks for bringing so much excitement to the @celtics and the @NBA.

[Doug Cahill @DougCahill]

Thanks to @JohannaSchlegel for sharing - I got a big chuckle out of this! #cloudsecurity #cybersecurity
