Michael Daniel on untangling cybersecurity’s complexity problem
Cybersecurity has a complexity problem. A tangled web of technical, psychological, economic and geopolitical factors enable and motivate malicious actors. Michael Daniel, CEO and president of the Cyber Threat Alliance, is helping public and private organizations decode these complex motivations with information sharing, including the Ransomware Task Force.
In this episode of WE’RE IN!, Michael elaborates on his “immune system” approach for the internet, a strategy where threats are quickly identified and neutralized. But this requires robust – and highly trusted – information sharing between groups.
Listen to hear more about:
- The threat assessment for the 2024 Paris Olympics, highlighting potential threats from Russia and Azerbaijan
- The need for more resilient software systems that can degrade gracefully rather than catastrophically fail
- Michael’s thoughts on industry diversification and the value of different viewpoints in tackling cybersecurity challenges
