Afternoon Cyber Tea: Building operational resilience in a digital world


Operational resiliency is a topic of rising importance in the security community. Unplanned events, much like the one we are facing today, are reminders of how organizations can be prepared to respond to a cyberattack. Ian Coldwater and I explored a variety of options in my episode of Afternoon Cyber Tea with Ann Johnson.

Ian Coldwater is a Kubernetes containers and cloud infrastructure specialist with a background in penetration testing and DevOps. In their role as a consultant, Ian has helped companies bridge the gaps between security and DevOps. It was a real pleasure to discuss what Ian has learned in these roles, and I think you’ll find our discussion valuable.

During our conversation, Ian and I talked about threat modeling and how to best protect your crown jewels. We also explored what it means to bring security into DevOps. Hint: it’s about more than just new tooling. And, we demystified Kubernetes. Do you wonder which projects are a good fit for Kubernetes, and which are not? Are you concerned about how to keep Kubernetes containers secure? Take a listen to Building operational resiliency in a digital work on Afternoon Cyber Tea with Ann Johnson for actionable advice that you can apply to your own SecDevOps organization.

What’s next

In this important cyber series, I talk with cybersecurity influencers about trends shaping the threat landscape in these unprecedented times, and explore the risk and promise of systems powered by artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and other emerging tech.
