106. Simon McNamee: Optimising Security Services

Hacked Off

In this episode of Hacked Off, Holly interviews Simon McNamee - Secure Impact's Security Technology Lead. This week, they discuss what issues security experts often encounter when working with businesses; both those with a high level of security maturity, as well as those just starting off on that journey. Holly and Simon offer some sage advice to organisations about getting the most out of their security services - it all starts with understanding the difference between these services and recognising what your business is ready for - and they also share some of their own experiences from different on-site engagements. 1:00 Defining Value 7:00 What happens when nothing happens? 10:50 Goals 13:42 Cyber Essentials & beyond 17:35 Are you ready for a pentest? 22:50 Simulating the bad guys 30:40 Creating a distraction 35:50 Not every attack is ransomware Listening time: 43 minutes Host: Holly Grace Williams, on behalf of Secarma Guest: Simon McNamee, Security Technology Lead at Secure Impact Ltd Connect with Simon: www.linkedin.com/in/samcnamee Secure Impact: www.secure-impact.com Our website: www.secarma.com Tweet us: www.twitter.com/Secarma Events: www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/secarma-ltd-31129456455
