First steps in cybersecurity strategy
49 min About this episode
This episode is a practical overview of building a robust security policy from the ground up. We start with what a usable threat model looks like, factoring in the modern impact of AI, then show how to identify your most critical infrastructure.
You will learn how different environments and asset types - from exposed to isolated - affect your posture, and the tactical importance of managing API access, maintaining SSL certificates, and understanding the real risks of information leaked on the Darknet.
