I'm not the CTO; I'm the Chief Trust Officer... You can achieve [that] through the people and the relationship and then the trust that you build with them. ~ Krishna Edathil

🎙 About the episode
I think cybersecurity really starts with the basics... It's about blocking and tackling like the core basics and fundamentals of football. ~ Tim Roemer
As fall gets into swing, we shift this episode’s sports focus to football and its many relevant analogies to the world of cybersecurity. Tim, Ryan, and Krishna share about the commonalities and differences across Arizona and Texas in their cybersecurity stances and plays. Similar to football, the best defensive plays are where every team player knows their gap assignment before the ball is ever snapped. Listen in as we learn about the importance of community and agency collaboration and insights on the best ways to stop the run, including:
The Big Game: Arizona vs. Texas: Plays and Cyber Strategies
Pre-season Training: How to strengthen cybersecurity posture through training and educating team employees to recognize and respond to threats
On the Field: Why the best defensive schemes often include the ability to shift from one front to another
Boosters Club: The importance of building trust among stakeholders, including public and private sector entities
Next Season’s Draft Picks: How new team members bring fresh perspectives and the ability to innovate quickly, potentially accelerating technology adoption and modernization efforts
And more!
