Episode Notes

In this episode of the Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast, as part of our Chats on the Road series to Black Hat USA 2023 in Las Vegas host Sean Martin and guest Eric Parizo discuss the upcoming Omdia Analyst Summit at Black Hat USA.

Eric, the Managing Principal Analyst for the Omdia Cybersecurity Research Team, shares insights into the summit's agenda and the exciting research they have been working on. The summit covers a range of topics, including economic challenges in cybersecurity, proactive security, SASE, IoT and OT security, data security, managed security services, and AI in cybersecurity.

They also touch on budget allocation and how organizations are shifting their resources and investing in external security capabilities. While security budgets are generally holding steady or increasing, the economic uncertainty may impact the second half of the year. The conversation highlights the importance of demonstrating ROI and value in existing security spend.

The concept of proactive security takes center stage, as Eric explains that it involves finding and addressing threats before they impact an organization.

They discuss the three broad categories of security solutions: preventative, reactive, and proactive. Proactive security is seen as the missing piece in the cybersecurity puzzle, allowing organizations to get ahead of security problems and reduce overall risk. Eric teases the attendees of the summit with the promise of exploring specific proactive solutions and the potential for proactive security platforms that bring together various proactive capabilities.

Throughout the conversation, Sean and Eric provide a sneak peek into the summit's agenda, emphasizing the importance of the topics being discussed and the cutting-edge research being presented. The episode showcases the expertise and knowledge of Eric as a leading analyst in the cybersecurity field and offers valuable insights for security leaders and professionals.

Hosted by Sean Martin, the Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast provides listeners with thought-provoking discussions on cybersecurity topics.
