Understanding security intelligence has never been more critical as disruptive technologies have not only changed the way companies operate and strategize, but have given rise to more sophisticated threats to the security of enterprise networks and data.
In this interview with Enterprise Innovation, LogRhythm Director and thought leader Robert F. Lentz debunks misguided notions about security technologies, and lets us in on what it takes to beef-up security systems against external and internal actors. He talks about gaps in IT education, the burden of legacy systems, and fine-tuning security spend to solve business needs rather than just checking boxes.
Lentz served as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for the US Department of Defense (DoD), where he oversaw the department’s US$3 billion Information Assurance and Cyber Security programs. He started his career with the National Security Agency (NSA) in 1975, and has since accumulated over 34 years of experience and established himself as a change agent with the US federal government.
