“I worked closely with Gary at OneTrust while he was Team Lead for the Global Strategic Alliances team. We worked together to recruit and support global leading systems integrators around the ESG domain. Gary was always very professional to work with in a very fast-paced environment. He is very strong in creating and managing relationships internally and externally to achieve desired results. Gary has the ability to set optimal business goals, outline clear and concise plans of action, and motivate his teams to overachieve on expectations. He is as influential with senior executives both internally and at customers and is a strong team leader who is well-respected. He holds exceptional credibility with customers, ensures he knows his subject matter, and is skilled in developing relationships and is an asset to any organization.”

If OT or critical infrastructure security is on your radar, this is a great opportunity to learn from the source. Blue Ridge Networks and Garland Technology are hosting a webinar on January 28 focused on strengthening OT cyber resilience in today’s evolving threat and regulatory landscape. It is a chance to hear practical guidance on isolation, protection, and securing OT and IoT environments without disrupting operations. I thought this would be valuable to share and hope everyone find it helpful. 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/eCKCmdPd #CyberCloak #OTSecurity #CriticalInfrastructure #LinkGuard #AppGuard

AI is racing ahead. The real question is: how do you keep it trusted, safe, and useful without slowing it down? Think in terms of the Five Cs: Clarity – know what AI you’re using Collaboration – make it everyone’s job Controls – put up guardrails, not roadblocks Culture – turn policies into habits Continuous assurance – test and monitor nonstop Governance isn’t the brake pedal. It’s the steering wheel. Which of these do you see organizations missing the most? Looking forward to this ISACA event in NYC next week. Stop by and connect during my session. See you there.

Which 19 CIS Security Controls do you need to meet to achieve HB96 compliance? Look no further than this 👇 Below is a deep dive into the specific CIS Safeguards required to meet each pillar of HB 96. 1. Risk & Critical Function Identification * Safeguard 1.1: Establish and maintain a detailed, up-to-date inventory of all enterprise assets with the potential to store or process data. * Safeguard 2.1: Maintain a detailed inventory of all licensed software, including its business purpose. * Safeguard 3.1 & 3.7: Establish a data management process and a classification scheme (e.g., Sensitive, Confidential, Public) to identify and prioritize the protection of critical data. 2. Threat Detection Mechanisms * Safeguard 7.1: Establish a vulnerability management process to track and remediate known flaws in assets. * Safeguard 8.1 & 8.2: Establish an audit log management process and ensure logging is enabled across all enterprise assets to detect anomalies. * Safeguard 10.1 & 10.2: Deploy anti-malware software on all assets and configure automatic signature updates to detect new threats. 3. Incident Response Procedures * Safeguard 17.1: Designate at least one key person (and a backup) to manage the incident handling process. * Safeguard 17.3: Establish a clear process for the workforce to report potential security incidents immediately. * Safeguard 6.2: Establish a process to revoke access immediately upon termination or role change to prevent "insider threats" during a crisis. 4. Infrastructure Recovery & Maintenance * Safeguard 11.1: Establish a data recovery process that prioritizes systems based on business value. * Safeguard 11.2: Perform automated, regular backups (at least weekly) for all in-scope assets. * Safeguard 11.4: Maintain an isolated instance of recovery data (offline or cloud) to ensure backups remain uncorrupted during ransomware attacks. * Safeguard 4.1: Maintain a secure configuration process for all assets to ensure systems are repaired back to a known "secure" state rather than their vulnerable defaults. 5. Mandatory Training * Safeguard 14.1: Establish a security awareness program with training at hire and annually. * Safeguard 14.2: Train all workforce members specifically to recognize social engineering (e.g., phishing, pre-texting). * Safeguard 14.4: Train the workforce on data handling best practices, including locking screens and erasing whiteboards. There you have it. You don't need to worry about all 56 CIS-IG1 safeguards to meet HB96 compliance. Looking for even less worry? Send me a message, and let's talk about how Vinson Protect can help you meet your HB96 compliance requirements. https://lnkd.in/gtJcYtaR
