The role of a board member continues to evolve in response to shifts in the business landscape. Cybersecurity is a key component of business continuity and success, and board members’ will demand more from their companies’ leadership.

Today, the SCYTHE team and I are thrilled and proud to announce the closure of our $10 million in Series A funding which acts as an endorsement of our hard work, innovative technology, and commitment to solving customers’ cybersecurity challenges. 

At the RSA Conference in 2020, I gave a joint talk with Chris Krebs, CISA Director at the time, on the formal collaboration between the agency and the non-profit, ICS Village. One of our biggest concerns for the future was ransomware. And unfortunately, we were right.

Good management of cyberspace requires a system of cyber metrics that are transparent, auditable, practical, scalable and the most difficult: widely agreed upon. To that end, we will evaluate various approaches to cyber risk quantification with the aim of informing the development of a public standard for measuring cybersecurity

So you’re not crazy, you just want to start your own company. Which kinda takes a level of crazy to pull it off. We’ll talk through what it takes to be an entrepreneur, different kinds of companies (service, product, non-profit), the market, back-office administration, pricing and economics, and my experiences starting three companies.

Now you can easily collaborate with Blue Teams to strengthen cyber defenses. Be more effective and efficient with a centralized dashboard and enhancements to user experience.

Last week, SCYTHE released emulation plans detailing post-exploitation activity by threat actors targeting F5 Big-IP appliances (CVE-2022-1388). To add to the fun, SCYTHE’s own Brandon Radosevich created a module to test for the F5 Big-IP vulnerability. SCYTHE normally focuses exclusively on post-exploitation and vulnerability scanning really isn’t our thing. This is the second time SCYTHE has built vulnerability scanning modules (the other being log4j).
