When Wendy Nather coined the term “cybersecurity poverty line,” the cybersecurity industry was not paying attention to how unevenly cybersecurity capabilities were distributed. This term provided a way to conceptualize the stark divide between the companies who could afford to invest in good cybersecurity and those who could not, and it sparked a discussion about how to help those entities operating below that poverty line. In the years since, however, the number of entities below the cybersecurity poverty line has only increased. Yet, we know that in an interconnected ecosystem, risk is shared among the haves and have-nots alike.
Join us as Wendy Nather (Cybersecurity Industry Veteran), Joe Levy (CEO, Sophos) and Michael Daniel (CEO, Cyber Threat Alliance) talk about the poverty line, why it matters, and what the cybersecurity industry should do about it.
