In today’s episode, journalist Nick Witchell speaks with Steve about the coming Trump administration will mean for businesses. In the first part of their two-part discussion, Steve and Nick consider potential changes to the US approach to tech regulation and foreign policy. Key Takeaways: The fact that cyber security wasn’t part of Donald Trump’s campaign, doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t be a focus of his presidency. Election interference is about misinformation as much (if not more) as it is about hackers getting into voting systems. Government must collaborate with private sector to create meaningful policies around digital security.

So I think that that's the way we're going to start seeing cyber coming into his perspective on the world. Where it touches some of his other frontline policies, then we're going to see it playing a role.” - Steve Durbin “As soon as you implement technology without security, you're creating a huge problem for yourself further down the road; one which, unless you have invested ahead of time, is going to cost you a horrible amount of money to try to fix later.” - Steve Durbin “You need to have people in government who've actually been there and done it, because if you haven't, then where do you begin? And so I'd like to see a lot more collaboration between government and private sector in terms of getting a lot more knowledge, frontline knowledge, into some of the things that you absolutely must do to secure this technology, rather than simply deciding that that's the way we're going to go and then leaving it up to the different departments to figure things out.” - Steve Durbin Mentioned in this episode: ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.
