In a video interview with Information Security Media Group at RSA 2020, Nather also discusses:

  • Why not to consider users the “weakest link” in security;
  • Her call for a radical change in approaches;
  • How security leaders can approach technology solutions differently in 2020.

Nather previously was research director at the Retail ISAC, where she was responsible for advancing the state of resources and knowledge to help organizations defend their infrastructure from attackers.
