Prioritize attacks, not alerts, with new Attack Discovery capability, powered by Search AI.

This is Part 10 in my ongoing project to cover 30 cybersecurity topics in 30 weekly blog posts. The full series can be found here. Identity protection is one of the most important topics in cybersecurity. It is often complex in its configuration and operation. Over 80 percent of all security incidents result from poor identity access controls. Consider the following recommendations when developing a comprehensive Identity Management strategy.

Today is a monumental day for the cybersecurity industry. Live from RSA Conference 2024, I’m excited to introduce LevelBlue – a joint venture with AT&T and WillJam Ventures, to form a new, standalone managed security services business. You can read more about the news here. In 2022, I founded my private equity firm, WillJam Ventures, and since then, we’ve held an exceptional track record of investing in and operating world-class cybersecurity businesses.
