In this episode of Security Nation, Jen and Tod chat with Michael Daniel, president and CEO of the Cyber Threat Alliance (CTA), as well as a co-chair on the IST’s Ransomware Task Force. After discussing Michael's career in cybersecurity with the US government, they talk about what makes information sharing so hard in the security space and how the CTA has addressed this challenge in its efforts to promote better threat intelligence.
Stick around for the Rapid Rundown – with Tod on holiday (AKA vacation), Jen brings on Rapid7’s public policy guru Harley Geiger. They chat about the Cyber Incident Reporting Act, which is likely headed to a Senate floor vote and, if passed, would bring major changes to the reporting requirements around cybersecurity events for owners and operators of critical infrastructure.
