037 2017 Cybersecurity in Review and Predictions for the New Year

Whether you felt 2017 flew by or you just couldn’t wait for it to be over, from a cybersecurity point of view there’s no question it was an interesting year. There was something for everyone, including ransomware, botnets, major data breaches, IoT issues, as well as business and policy concerns. Our guest today is Dr. Chris Pierson. He’s the CEO and founder of Binary Sun Cyber Risk Advisors, and a familiar voice for those of us who follow cybersecurity. Dr. Pierson serves on the Department of Homeland Security’s Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee and Cybersecurity Subcommittee and is a distinguished fellow of the Ponemon Institute.  Together, we’ll take a look back at 2017 and try to make sense of what it all means as we head into the new year, what 2018 may have in store for the cybersecurity industry, and how best to prepare.
