Episode 30: The One About Endpoint Cybersecurity

Check your endpoint. It’s probably not as safe from cyberthreats as you think. And Covid made it worse…

The cybersecurity landscape has been dicey for years. In just the past week there have been massive outages in the networks of Tesla, Microsoft, Apple and AT&T. Think about that. Those companies basically impact every aspect of life. And while they’ve done a lot to protect their services over the years, the pandemic has thrown a spanner in the works.

If huge global companies with billions of dollars and super smart people are vulnerable, how safe are those corporate assets on the company laptop you’re using for Zoom calls from home (Pajamas, noisy dogs, screaming e-learning kids and bad lighting not withstanding)?

I wanted to know more about this. So I asked my good friend Oliver Cronk to come on the podcast and talk about it. Oliver isn’t just smart. He’s also British. So he SOUNDS smarter as well. Beyond that, he’s the Chief Architect at Tanium. Perhaps you’ve heard of them? They protect endpoint assets of small mom & pop shops like the US Air Force. So, yeah. These folks know something about endpoint security.

In our conversation:

  • How has our new way of working impacted traditional security?
  • Is the ‘enterprise fortress’ still relevant to security?
  • How should CISO’s, Risk Officers and other stakeholders adapt?
  • How are Consultants able to take advantage of these trends?
  • How can we better serve our clients in this environment?
  • Is Phil really just an aged future version of Chris?
