Episode 05   Published May 12, 2024 16 minute watch

Summary

The ASD Essential Eight gives Australian small and mid-sized businesses a domestic cybersecurity baseline that the government estimates removes about 95% of a typical risk profile. Craig, co-founder and director at managed security services provider Cythera, covers which of the eight strategies carry over to any environment, why application control is the control customers struggle with the hardest, and how Cythera uses Automox to deliver patching and hardening across its 250 customers. He explains that automation makes a security operation safer, citing a SOAR program his team measures at over $200,000 in saved time each month.
