Overview
Fraud warnings, rapid DNA tests for arrestees, electronic facial identification, London cold case, serial child porn conviction, Russian hacking e-commerce platform takedown, and Chinese espionage highlight our law enforcement round-up followed by a conversation on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework with Salvador Ortega.
Salvador and I walk through the NIST Cybersecurity Framework’s significant functions and categories and discuss our operational perspectives emerging under each function, category, and sub-category. “The Framework is voluntary guidance, based on existing standards, guidelines, and practices for organizations to better manage and reduce cybersecurity risk. In addition to helping organizations manage and reduce risks, it was designed to foster risk and cybersecurity management communications amongst both internal and external organizational stakeholders.”
Salvador Ortega, CISSP, Director of Cybersecurity at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, joins me to discuss the Framework in the context of his 13 years at VUMC. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sal for many years, and he’s demonstrated a fact-based approach to analyzing security risks and vulnerabilities. It’s a pleasure to have this experienced practitioner for our discussion.
