Dealing with data growth #supersecuritychat

if you are un-secure you don't garner trust... and without that you don't have a business...

Thinking that GDPR is a technical / cybersec issue #supersecuritychat

with open API's everyone can access the core data, and that presents a challenge...

Agreeing relevant threats, assessing risk profile, understanding exposed aspect of the stack – in a word – skills #supersecuritychat

At a high level - if your data is not secure, then you are in for a world of hurt. At a tactical level - data sprawl is exponential - cant keep up

Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability #supersecuritychat

sheer volumes and access needs for data increasing exponentially, balancing access with protection walking a tightrope over tank of hungry sharks

Big challenge: the internal threat from attacks on employees… and from employees themselves sometimes

Technology that is not up to the reqmts of your security strategy can be a significant challenge

@efeatherston volume is the enemy - AI and filters

@tinatarq managing data at scale is the challenge, what to encrypt, when and where? with Z14 the answer is everything, always, everywhere...

like @efeatherston noted earlier people are still weakest link. Securing privileged identity access and password mgmt is close 2nd.

...assuming you have security strategy ;-)

@craigmullins re: employees, agree, and threat from them may be completely unintentional, making the challenge even harder

Vigilant cybersecurity requires ongoing changes to keep up with the changing attackers

@apstein2 Snowden anyone...???

outdated equipment, poor policy, end users with little to no #cybersecurity awareness and training #supersecuritychat

@craigmullins @efeatherston BYOH - Bring Your Own Hacker is the new BYOD

@lcwendler Yes... and it takes a LOT of less to win back lost customers!

@craigmullins Hang on, its up there on the top shelf, let me just brush the dust off...:

@apstein2 @efeatherston People will always be people - need to have something that can safeguard against those doing harm (intentional or not!)

@tinatarq Amen!

The risk of losing customers due to a lack of trust in the security of their personal data.

@tinatarq take the decision out of it, encrypt everything always is a LOT safer an approach

@lcwendler nothing worse than the public shame of a secuirty breach #supersecuritychat

@craigmullins HA!

@craigmullins what cyber professionals think they do! lol #supersecuritychat

@StevenDickens3 Right, it's funny how little attention people pay to history repeating itself. Some of the best business learning comes from paying attention to events like this one.

The most powerful transaction processing system in the world - can take on 100 CyberMondays and then some :)

I had a laugh at that when it popped up

If Nate Diaz was Windows & Chad Mendes was Apple, then the m/f is Conor McGregor, might seem like they are done but then #supersecuritychat

biggest and best server for applications that need scale, security, availability or performance

it's a super powerful computer that makes sure all of your transactional data is safe - and never goes down.

@GrahamPenrose2 love that analogy!!!

I have a songlist on spotify that might help them understand it ?

mainframe to a millennial #supersecuritychat ummm #WTF is a #mainframe #supersecuritychat

@stevendickens3 TY :) its an Irish thing

@TmanSpeaks they would want to know when their amazon prime package doesnt arrive :) !!

A mainframe is a large, powerful computer that can supports lots of users simultaneously…

Mainframe is a term that resonates with a millennial they see it as a big black box at the end of a network, which is not far off, what it actually is.

…and is used by the world’s biggest organizations…

…super-efficient, super-secure, and able to support large workloads efficiently…

…It can optimally support complex tasks that smaller computers cannot.

Hmmmm.....it is a much maligned computer system that is still responsible for huge volumes of transactions in todays business world that tends to be taken for granted :-)

Think of it as a Pikachu, hard to get your hands on one - but worth the wait. :)

Maybe also need to differentiate mainframe (business) from supercomputer (scientific)

#mainframe gots some power under the hood #supersecuritychat

@craigmullins to me they are both business use cases, just in different industries with different goals and requirements

I blogged about a related question in How to Tell Your Mom About the Mainframe http://bit.ly/2wyBuy...

I like to call it the most trusted 'Infinity Server' of today's enterprise IT environment. Many computing architectures have come and gone, but z Systems have experienced *perpetual re-invention*

mainframe is the cloud *before* it got wings, a new heart, running shoes and become accessible to nearly every app, data type or user
