    #Cybersecurity and #encryption are complex. The institute's educational mission aims to bridge the practical business and personal impact of technology with the hidden complexities that make secure, trustworthy systems seem unattainable.

    Attached: 1 image Topics like #cybersecurity and #encryption are difficult to talk about plainly because they *are* complex. While it's usefully reductionist to tell users that HTTPS is more secure than unencrypted HTTP, it can also lead to oversimplification (and thus a lack of adequate #infosec funding) when designing and implementing #securitycontrols. Consider the following excerpted information I recently shared in one of the LinkedIn communities when trying to explain why a URL or TCP/IP socket *by itself* doesn't create a secure connection. --- The "HTTPS" in a URL is a URI *scheme* that is interpreted by the browser as an instruction to establish a TLS connection over which the HTTP protocol can be be negotiated. The actual TCP/IP transport layer handshake, TLS and HTTP protocol negotiations, and encrypted payload communications between client and server are handled in other layers. ## Useful References Hypertext, URIs, and Schemes : https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9110#section-4.2.2 : https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8820#name-uri-schemes : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_URI_schemes TLS (sometimes still referred to as "SSL" for historical reasons) : https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8446

    We're a #thinktank, not a recruiting agency, but we know a lot of #CyberSecurity executives are out of work right now. This #GRC #InterimExecutive role may be of interest to some of our followers.

    # Want to know more about us?

    The tl;dr is that we're a #thinktank focused on modernizing cybersecurity for the new information age, including topical issues like #LargeLanguageModels and #GenerativeAI.

    #Mastodon is a place to engage freely with us directly, either as an institute or with individual members of the group. Ask questions. Offer constructive criticism. Tell us what you think, and what you want to hear about. That's why we're here in the #fediverse!

    ## Mission Statement

    The growing intersection of data, privacy, and technology requires new ways of thinking about security and how it impacts both business and society. The institute's mission is to provide cutting-edge thought leadership that reframes traditional security leadership for the 21st century by addressing traditional #cybersecurity, #riskmanagement, and other related topics. In addition, the institute is also tasked with providing practical security solutions within a modern business context.

    ## Consensus-Based Solutions

    The institute provides consensus-based recommendations and action items. Each consensus is reached through discussion and debate among the panel's cross-functional members.
    The members of the institute collectively believe that truly transformative leadership requires transparency and visibility into core processes. To promote those values and enrich materials the institute makes publicly available, panel discussions and deliberations are available in a variety of formats on multiple social media channels.
