"We have struggled for a long time to understand if security controls are effective. And the problem has been that we've been managing cybersecurity based on assumptions," he says.
In a video interview with Information Security Media Group at RSA Conference 2019 in San Francisco, Gen. Matthews discusses:
- Lessons from three decades of military experience in information systems;
- The need to measure security effectiveness;
- Developing robust security metrics.
Matthews, a retired major general of the U.S. Air Force., is senior vice president and chief strategy officer at Verodin.
