Brian Haugli: Applying the NIST Protocols to Human Sanity

Some serious people have worked very hard to create the protocols put in place to secure the world’s networks… why don’t we take to same amount of time and energy to secure the physical, mental and emotional health of our business leaders?

I’m funny all the time… I’m not happy all the time… but at least I’m funny. I mean… if you’re gonna be anything all the time… you might as well be funny

Let’s acknowledge up front… I prounce Brian’s last name incorrectly throughout the show. It is prounced /HOAG lee/… not /HOW lee/ That’s on me… but Brian could have let me know at the beginning… MOVING ON…

On this episode of pm73media, Matt Stephenson grabbed some time with SideChannel founder and #CISOlife creator Brian Haugli for a chat about all things involved with founding a company, bringing CISOs into small and mid-market companies and some other industry nerditry as well. He is omnipresent online helping companies figure out their security posture, but also has a lot to say about the notion of sanity for founders and key decision makers… Dig it

About Matt Stephenson

My name is Matt Stephenson (@packmatt73) and I have hosted podcasts, videos and live events all over the world which put me with experts on every corner of the cybersecurity landscape. pm73media is my first solo endeavor. On this platform and others to come, I will continue to expand upon the tradition we started with the Insecurity podcast as I seak out the leading minds in the tech industry and beyond. I am always looking for fun people who may break things every now and again. In 20 years in the ecosystem of Data Protection and Cybersecurity I have toured the world extolling the virtues of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and how, when applied to information security, these technologies can wrong-foot the bad guys.

Whether in person, live virtual events or podcasting, I get to interview interesting people doing interesting things all over the world of technology and the extended world of hacking. Sometimes, that means hacking elections or the coffee supply chain... other times that means social manipulation or the sovereign wealth fund of a national economy.

Wherever I go, my job is all about talking with the people who build, manage or wreck the systems that we have put in place to make the world go round...
