RSAC Presenter Says "Time to Kill One of Cybersecurity's Most Overworked Terms"

The Fundamental Mistake in Cybersecurity Risk Management
Cybersecurity Today
Cybersecurity Isn’t Managing Risk—It’s Managing Threats... And That's the Problem Host David Shipley speaks with Jeff Gardiner, a former university CISO and now at Morgan Stanley, about Gardiner’s doctoral research arguing that cybersecurity has structurally misclassified “risk management” as threat management. Gardiner explains that real risk is an expected loss calculation (impact × likelihood), while many cybersecurity frameworks and training emphasize vulnerabilities, exploitability, and system configuration without likelihood or business impact. He describes examples...

Stryker Medical says it has fully recovered from a March 11 Iran-linked wiper attack that used a compromised admin account and Microsoft Intune, prompting Microsoft guidance on multi-admin approval for wipes. The FBI labels a suspected China-linked breach of a U.S. surveillance system a “major incident,” likening it to the 2024 Salt Typhoon campaign, while Sen. Mark Warner cites staffing cuts and leadership turmoil at CISA. TechCrunch reports embattled compliance startup Delve faces new claims it repackaged an open-source tool (Sim Studio) as its own “Pathways,” as Delve denies broader fraud allegations, says it was targeted by a malicious actor, and Y Combinator cuts ties.
