Getting your cyber essentials – Jason Fitzgerald – Ep62

Tech Interviews

Cyber Security, be it how we secure our perimeter, infrastructure, mobile devices or data, is a complex and ever-changing challenge. In the face of this complexity where do we start when it comes to building our organisations cyber security standards. Well perhaps the answer may lie in standardised frameworks and accreditation's. If you think about it, one of the biggest challenges we have when it comes to security is knowing where to start, so having a standard to work towards makes perfect sense. That is the subject of this weeks show with my guest and colleague Jason Fitzgerald, as we discuss the value of a UK based accreditation, Cyber Essentials. Jason spends much of his time working with organisations to help them address their IT security concerns and one of the tools he uses extensively is a framework and accreditation produced by the National Cyber Security Centre here in the UK, Cyber Essentials. During this episode we discuss why such a framework is valuable and can help a business improve its security posture. We discuss, the confusion in many organisations when it comes to cyber security, the 5 key areas that Cyber Essentials covers, the importance of getting your security foundation right and some tips on where to start when it comes to building a cyber security framework.
