Megan Stifel, Chief Strategy Officer for the Institute for Security and Technology, joins the first episode of the Nexus Digest to discuss an article she wrote about the Trump Administration’s current cybersecurity strategy. Megan is concerned the strategy is too far a pivot toward shaping adversaries' behavior in cyberspace via a more aggressive approach to deterrence at the expense of defending critical networks. 

Nexus Digest is a monthly recap of the content contributed to Nexus, a community of security leaders dedicated to protecting cyber-physical systems. We collaborate with top industry experts to deliver essential insights, strategies, and solutions for securing the critical systems that power our world.

Other content featured in Episode 1 includes:

  • Adm. Michael Rogers on the urgency to retire legacy technology on critical infrastructure networks.

  • Dan Ricci writes about how asset inventories and visibility should bring risk signals to the surface, expose hidden dependencies, and determine whether segmentation works as advertised. 

  • Finally, we recap the S4 Conference and some of the exclusive podcasts recorded with experts during the event.
