Chris Roberts: CYA - Cover Your Assets for Simplified Security

Chris Roberts screamed, “Security Solved!” in a recent LinkedIn update. What in the world was he talking about? He professed that security is not hard nor complicated. Not only does he consider it inexpensive and undemanding to do the right thing, it’s easy to get the simple stuff sorted.

I (Mark Miller) called Chris, had a short discussion, and came away with the idea for a new podcast/webinar. On July 29th at 1:00 PM ET, we’re going to have a discussion about assets… yes, cyber assets. By starting with the basics, we’re going to help you cover your assets, talking about ways to discover:

1. Assets, what do you have?
2. Assets, where are they?
   
3. Who’s got access to them?
   
4. What DO they do, what is their purpose?
   
5. What’s on them?
   
6. Which ones do you need to care about?

From there, you’ll want to know if Chris’ hairy ass is on them, and whatcha going to do about it if he is. If you can figure out these two, you’ve basically nailed threat management, security controls, Disaster Recovery / Business Continuity. This stuff is NOT hard. We make it hard; we wrap it up in too many layers, too many smart words, and too many complexities.

Join us live, for an irreverent, no holds barred discussion with Chris on how to Cover Your Assets. You’ll walk away with an earful on the importance of tracking and monitoring your cyber assets, understanding the value of knowing what your assets do and how they interact with each other, and what you can do to Cover Your Assets for Simplified Security.
