Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

In July of this year, the Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) stated in its release of an RFI on regulatory harmonization that: “When cybersecurity regulations of the same underlying technology are inconsistent or contradictory—or where they are duplicative but enforced differently by different regulators … consumers pay more, and our national security suffers.” This is an understatement. SecurityScorecard agrees and was happy to share our comments with ONCD today.

In cybersecurity, the terms “trust” and “transparency” are often mentioned. And while they should no doubt be a priority, they can also be difficult to quantify. Good CISOs recognize that transparency in cybersecurity isn’t a one-time effort. It’s a continuous process that involves a near-constant state of evolution. But with the right tools and systems in place, it’s possible to not only measure trust and transparency but improve them as well.

Custom Descriptions Teams can now design custom descriptions to provide context as to why a finding was ignored, resolved or marked as false positive. Previously, teams were provided a set of out of the box options, for the common use cases. The new flow resembles a standard documentation process where canned and contextual responses are available to help scale internal communication.

CISOs and security leaders are constantly being reminded that cyber risk is now a business risk. And at the same time, organizations are realizing the financial implications of not having cyber expertise on their boards.
