Security by Design: A Risk Based Approach with Nathan Wenzler

Written by Joseph Carson | Oct 2, 2024 10:00:00 AM

If you started viewing your cybersecurity program through a risk lens, rather than a technical lens, how would that change the conversations you have with business leadership? You might be asking questions like, “How valuable is the thing we’re trying to protect?” “What does it mean to the business?” “What would be the impact if it were compromised?” And, of course, “How much are we willing to invest to protect it?” In this episode, Nathan Wenzler, field CISO and advisor, shares his perspective on the meaning of “Security-by-Design.” More than guiding how you implement security tools or write code, he views it as a mindset shift to view your security program through a risk lens, not purely a technical lens. He and Joe share recommendations for a risk-based security strategy and communicating metrics in the language of the business. Tune in to learn how you can build the case for security investments and a program that’s going to be successful in the long term.
