067 Quantifying Cyber Risk

This week we’re joined by Alexander Schlager, executive director of security services at Verizon. He has experience in both the technical and sales sides of the communications and security worlds, having gained experience in a variety of positions around the globe. Our conversation focuses on his belief that organizations need to concentrate on quantifying their cyber risk, and using what they learn to evaluate and plan their security programs. He explains why Verizon invests in reports like the DBIR and the Verizon Risk Report, and of course, we’ll get his take on the importance of threat intelligence.
