info_outlineThe buzzwords "cyber hygiene" is being said and written by many of the guru's in the ICS security community. It's hard to argue that basic hygiene is bad, but what is and isn't cyber hygiene?

They were selected because they used the term, and all three of us had different views on what cyber hygiene means and the usefulness of the term. For example is applying security patches cyber hygiene? Is there a difference between cyber hygiene and cyber maintenance.
Amazingly, for three experienced and opinionated people, we all ended up changing our viewpoint and reached a basic agreement. Take a listen and see if you agree with where we ended up.
