Football-Inspired Cybersecurity Tips to Get You Ready for the Big Game
CISOs are often compared to being the Head Coaches of their security teams and Football and cybersecurity have more in common than you would think. With the big game this Sunday, we wanted to share some football-inspired cybersecurity tips from security leaders.
Tomas Maldonado CISO, NFL
Our Take: In these three posts, Tomas talks about different elements of managing your cybersecurity program, planning, execution, and vision. To strengthen your cybersecurity program, improving visibility is a must. This will make it easier to conduct regular assessments, provide you with actionable insights to improve your cyber strategy, and enable you to adapt to evolving threats with proactive and predictive measures. Our Cybersecurity Management Platform integrates with an organization’s entire security eco-system and enables CISOs and security leaders to leverage data and AI to continually improve their security program.
Christina Morillo Head of Information Security, New York Giants
Our Take: In a recent AMA on both X and LinkedIn Christina answered questions on all things Cybersecurity and Pro Sports with a focus on Football. In the spirit of information sharing and community she shared insights into how the sports industry handles cybersecurity. Like Christina, our platform includes industry benchmarking to help CISOs better understand where their program measures up, allowing them to have a fuller picture of their performance.
Ben Sady Technology & Risk Consulting
Our Take: Ben talks about learning from past experiences to improve resiliency and communication under pressure. Measuring how your security program is performing is a key element to optimizing your strategy and putting your team in the best position for success. When you’re, as a security leader, able to better communicate what needs to be addressed, a security team’s efforts are focused and thus more prepared for those high-pressure situations. Our automated reporting features simplify performance tracking, measurement, and management, allowing security leaders to improve communication with their team and leadership.
Shannon Garcia Cybersecurity Professional | Founder | Entrepreneur
Our Take: Shannon focused on the elements of teamwork, to take it a step further like football, an effective cybersecurity strategy relies on everyone to buy in and do their part. For CISOs, that can mean having the right security tools in place and ensuring proper coverage of all your domains. Our Security Stack Management features make it easy to see your entire security stack and measure that all devices are operating with the proper tools.
Whichever team you are rooting for this Sunday, or maybe you are just watching for the commercials, remember it is the hard work and dedication of the entire organization that helped get these teams to the championship. The same goes with cybersecurity — it is not just the security team protecting an organization, it is everyone doing their part.
