Webinar: Moving Towards Moving Target Defense
Our current (information security) static defensive posture is getting creamed. We keep spending more money, buying more tools, and trying to increase the size of our teams. And yet the results are getting worse (e.g., the number and scope of breaches). We need to begin looking at a different posture, a more dynamic posture, and how to implement such into our defense-in-defense strategies. This is still defense, active defense, not offense.

Tim Mather is a Partner at Fortium Partners, an IT consulting firm where he has assisted many clients with security issues (including ransomware remediation), developing security programs, and security evaluations. Additionally, he also advises several cybersecurity start-ups on their product strategies and marketing, and a venture capital firm on investments in cybersecurity start-ups. Previously, Tim has held very senior security positions (e.g., CISO three times) for several high technology companies in the Silicon Valley. He has also worked for three cybersecurity start-ups. Tim is also a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), a Certified Information Security Auditor (CISA), and a Certified Information Systems Manager (CISM). He also speaks frequently at security conferences (e.g., the RSA Conference) domestically and internationally, and association meetings (e.g., ISACA-SV). To ensure that he is not bored, Tim has also co-authored two books on information security. The first, “The Executive Guide to Information Security: Threats, Challenges, and Solutions” was published by Addison-Wesley in 2004, and sold nearly twelve thousand copies. The second, “Cloud Security and Privacy: An Enterprise Perspective on Risks and Compliance” was published by O’Reilly in 2009, sold over nineteen thousand copies, and was translated into Chinese and Japanese. Tim is also passionate about education having his Bachelor’s Degree in Political Economics from the University of California at Berkeley, as well as Master’s Degrees in International Policy Studies from Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, in National Security Studies from Georgetown University, and in Information Assurance from Brandeis University. He was involved from the inception of the Cyber Security program at Merritt College in Oakland, California and has been teaching classes there since its accreditation. For fun, Tim loves to read and travel, and spending time with his cats when home. Tim started his career in the U.S. Army as a Signals Intelligence office (35G), then moved to Washington, D.C. where he worked on a ‘black’ (classified) project as a liaison to the intelligence community for seven and a half years. |
