Roee Besser discusses in detail key insights about the cybersecurity industry while giving useful advice and setting expectations for newcomers and individuals who want to pursue a career in the cybersecurity industry.

👇🏼 This special episode will tackle the following topics:

⭐ Giving career advice to newcomers and individuals who want to pursue a career in the cybersecurity industry.

⭐ Key resources that have helped Roee through his career in information security.

⭐ The power dynamics between the vCISO role and other C-level roles in small and large enterprises.

Highlights:

🔎 “Looking for good mentors that will guide and escort me has helped me through my career. I’m not good at sales — this is something that I have to admit. But still, I found the right success partners that would push me to the right customers. This pushes me towards interesting positions.”

🔎 “Whenever I go to surveys of companies that I’m responsible for, I always tell them: embrace the auditor. Whatever the auditor finds, you’ll still have the chance and the time to fix it.”

🔎 “I could be a CISO for one company and do everything in one place. But, I’m taking bits and bites from different industries while looking from a high-level perspective. That’s the beauty of being a vCISO.”

Highlight one:

👉🏻 ”The most important skill sets for being a CISO are being business savvy and having an understanding of how the business operates. You also need to grasp the value of your solution if you want to grow in the position of a CISO.

Technical skills are foundational; you must understand the ins and outs of software and security frameworks, but most importantly, you must also be able to apply all of your technical knowledge to the business”

Highlight two:

👉🏻 ”One of the most interesting methods to learn about cybersecurity development could be through cybersecurity vendors”

Why?

“Because those vendors are financially incentivized to know what is going on in the cybersecurity domain and address it in real-time. The knowledge that they have can be very educational.”

Highlights:

What is one thing you wish you knew before beginning your career?

• You want to be completely prepared for any job you take on. Someone believes in you enough to challenge you for something you may believe you are not prepared for; I would say go for it and be honest and transparent about your ability and experience in that domain.

What advice would you give to someone interested in becoming a CISO?

• Go deep or wide, but at least one of these. You can discover that cybersecurity has numerous dimensions. You can take classes, webinars, and certifications, which are all excellent ways to broaden your perspective and add value to your career. There are some things that you must continue to learn as time passes. Because cybersecurity changes so quickly, you must stay current and engage in some self-directed learning.

Highlights:

What is one thing you wish you had known before starting your career?

• Effective communication is one of the biggest challenges that I faced. Soft skills are what you need when it comes to driving expectations from your team & translate the technical aspects from the gearheads to business executives.

What resources helped you to learn cybersecurity in your career

• The people were my biggest & best resource when it comes to learning about cybersecurity. I learned from mentors that I had at the early phase of my career and their perspective on cybersecurity & the professional world, in general, was a great resource. The people that are around you can be your best resource when it comes to learning cybersecurity.

What cybersecurity vendors should not be doing?

• Vendors should stop acting like a business & start acting like a partner. They should put themselves into their clients' shoes and think about how can we provide benefits from their technology or service. When you do that, you’re not just a cybersecurity vendor but a trusted advisor who’s nurturing a relationship for a long-term game.

Podcast highlights:

What advice would you give to someone who wants to pursue a career similar to yours?

• You have to explore your undiscovered passion in life & find things that excite you. For me it was solving problems, bringing in solutions & finding new ways to put things together. If you follow your passion, the results can be very rewarding. What I would recommend is to have a passion & not have a rigid mindset and focus on solving certain kinds of cybersecurity problems that our society faces today.

Thoughts on the role of the CISO in the IT department

• If you really want to protect the information, you will need a broader vision that goes beyond being stuck in the IT department. A CISO being stuck in the IT department might limit the way you tackle the problem at hand. The role of a CISO is business oriented. It’s all about the business & the information that the particular business holds. Being focused on the business itself & knowing its value tackles a wider range of concerns.

• If there is one thing you wish you had known before starting your career

The hardest thing I overcame while beginning my career is to convince our executive leadership that cybersecurity is really important & is here to stay.

• Cybersecurity budgeting pre & post-pandemic.

Cybersecurity is expensive and companies never have enough resources to allocate funds to it. But as breaching is making headlines, we are seeing more funding coming out and leadership is becoming a little more aware of the importance of it.

• One common myth about cybersecurity

We’re not all hackers. Some of us might have done penetration testing, but people tend to assume that everyone in cybersecurity must be a hacker.

Podcast highlights:

What’s the one thing you wished you knew before you started your journey?

• When you’re starting your career in the cybersecurity domain, there are so many factors involved that you wish you knew before you started your journey. One of those is having more interactions with the individuals that are in your domain that can show you what’s on the other side of the curtain and who can give you clarity into the sort of works that you will be doing. It is very important to connect with people who have walked the walk before.

What are the main concerns CISOs nowadays have?

• Every CISO I talk to has ransomware buried somewhere in their mind as a concern. It doesn’t matter what’s the size of the organization and which system they use, the problem of ransomware is still unresolved.

27:50 A case study for incident response project

32:32 The initiative for cybersecurity incidents from the U.S government.

36:43 What actions you should take after experiencing a cybersecurity incident?

Description Summary:

All the early-stage companies react differently to a cybersecurity incident but mostly this is how it goes in the most cases

An employee starts to report an issue in the network. Perhaps he or she cannot access a file on the network.

The issue gets reported to the IT department.

The IT department would diagnose the issue and realize that there’s a larger problem at hand.

From this stage, the information escalates to the boardroom.

The number one & most common cause of cybersecurity incidents is open RDP or a phishing attack if you’re not keeping up with the patches or you have unpatched VPNs & unpatched exchange servers. Mainly, The unpatched environment is the predominant method of intrusion for ransomware.

The threat actors which perpetrate the attack use free tools which are available online and conduct an external scan very quickly and exploit the findings. These tools are available online and they cost nothing.

This is what you should do to reduce cybersecurity incidents in your business:

1. Ensure multiple-factor authentication on all your accounts like emails, VPN, etc.
2. Regularly test backups, and be sure to keep them off the domain.
3. Have an incident response plan, review it every quarter, and regularly update it.
4. Introduce the principle of less privilege to make sure you’re limiting the number of people who have domain access & leading accounts.

If you just realized that you’ve experienced a cyberattack,

1. Preserve all evidence, because if you wipe or change any evidence, it’ll be hard to trace how the threat actor was able to get inside your environment.
2. Don't turn off any devices, just disconnect them from the internet.
3. Don't engage in communication with the attackers.
