Protecting the Human Point - David Barton CISO, Forcepoint
In 2016, organizations spent over 80 billion dollars in cybersecurity technology to try and improve their security outcomes. The challenge of protecting your organization is getting exponentially worse. Users are everywhere. Sensitive data can be anywhere. User behaviors can range from legitimate to not. The technology is always one step behind the threats. Instead of focusing on the technology and threats, let’s focus on the one constant in all of this noise: people. How does your sensitive Data and IP get compromised? It simply starts at the intersection of people and data – the human point. Those in your network can be content one day and malicious the next. Understanding your users’ behaviors and their intentions will help you identify threat risks before they happen.
David Barton is the Chief Information Security Officer for Forcepoint, responsible for securing the company and sharing key learnings with customers. Barton brings to his role more than 20 years of experience in security leadership across a variety of sectors, including telecommunications, healthcare, software development, finance and government. Prior to joining the company in 2015, he spent three years as the Head of Information Security at Hireright, where he was responsible for securing the company’s information and physical assets on a global scale. Barton holds an MBA from the University of Missouri – Kansas City and a bachelor’s degree in Management Information Systems from Simpson College. He is also a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP).
NOTE: This meeting is for ISSA members only.
