Security | Threat Detection | Cyberattacks | DevSecOps | Compliance

On this episode of Masters of Data, we break down incident response from detection through containment, forensics, recovery, and postmortem. The foundation? Comprehensive logging. Without it, you're blind. We explore building cross-functional teams and a blame-free culture where people actually report issues. Communication is key: what you tell engineering isn't what you tell executives or customers. AI is accelerating investigations, but the fundamentals still rule: proper tool access, the right people on call, and translating technical chaos into business-speak. The takeaway?

On this episode of Masters of Data, we sit down with Cassandra Mooseberger, Manager of Security Compliance at Sumo Logic, to unpack governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). Cass breaks down her three-pillar framework: governance and compliance, risk management, and trust. She reveals how GRC teams can flip from cost center to sales enabler through trust pages, automated questionnaires, and proactive support. We explore practical strategies for working with engineering: listen first, understand before changing, and skip the "rip and replace" impulse.

Originally recorded in 2025, we look back at how cybercriminals perfected deception during the first half of the year. Now available as an archive recording, the session highlights the second edition of the LevelBlue Threat Trends Report and explores real-world incident data, fast-moving attack chains, and the social engineering techniques that shaped the threat landscape at the time. While the data reflects early 2025, many of the lessons remain relevant for understanding how today’s threat environment evolved.

In this episode of The New CISO, host Steve Moore speaks with Manuel "Manu" Ressel, CISO at SAUTER Group, about his unconventional journey from classroom teacher to cybersecurity leader—and why the "Four Cs" of modern education provide a powerful framework for building effective security programs. Drawing from years as both a teacher and school principal in Germany, Manu introduces Critical Thinking, Communication, Collaboration, and Creativity as essential leadership skills that fundamentally challenge how the industry approaches awareness training and incident response.
