“The five most efficient cyber defenders are: Anticipation, Education, Detection, Reaction and Resilience. Do remember: Cybersecurity is much more than an IT topic.” Stephane Nappo
We’re shaking things up here at Did You Know That? We’re always looking to bring you informative conversations that could better your business and sometimes, your life. But that doesn’t always have to be in long-form interviews. So, may we present, drumroll please…
DYKT? Snippets.
DYKT? Snippets will be episodes featuring a collection of short videos on a particular topic. What that topic may be will always be a surprise. For this kickoff event, we’re going big with a 2-part premiere episode.
In 2017, the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYSDFS) Part 500 cyber regulations went live. These regulations apply to certain businesses licensed by the NYSDFS to operate in New York. While the regulations have their shortcomings, in the scope of state-backed cyber laws, they’ve proven to be quite reasonable. Episodes 1 & 2 will feature videos that outline how businesses can utilize these requirements to get their cyber houses in order.
For context around the videos, here are some links for the regulations & the actual requirements:
