OODA CTO Bob Gourley was joined by Tony Cole of Attivo Networks in an interactive
discussion on the state of cybersecurity, with a focus on how
deception technologies can be leveraged by organizations of all
sizes to mitigate risks.
Tony is an icon in the cybersecurity community. He is known both
as a practitioner and a thought leader helping businesses and
governments understand their risks and prioritize mitigation
actions. He is a member of the OODA Network (see our
member interview with Tony here ).
As CTO of Attivo Networks he has lead the strategy and vision
for the corporation across products, marketing, sales and the
development of the Attivo ThreatDefend Deception and Response
platform. Attivo Networks is the leader in the cyber deception
space and has already shown an ability to change the game on the
modern-day human attacker.
This interview examines:
- The evolution of the early cyber “honey pots” designed to trap
hackers into modern, scalable, hard to detect deception
technologies - How adversaries have changed over the last two decades and what
it means for the future - The despicable behavior of cyber adversaries during the
pandemic and what it means for cyber attacks after the
pandemic - The need for cybersecurity solutions to work well together
- How executives in business can learn of the most relevant
technologies for them without having to meet with thousands of
vendors
