Conversations in Risk-Based Security

Lynx is passionate about helping clients understand and reduce risks they may face, including potential hazards associated with competency gaps. Lynx trusts that a standardized approach improves their clients’ hiring, training, and succession processes as well as enables employees to better understand what capabilities are needed for desired positions and upskill accordingly. Lynx therefore utilizes the NICE Framework, as it is both far reaching and lends itself to competency assessments and careerpathing activities.

Lynx proudly announces our selection as a National Best and Brightest Companies to Work For winner for the fourth consecutive year. This award recognizes companies that excel at employee relations, use innovation to motivate employees, implement creative compensation programs and more. Winners will be recognized at National Winners’ celebration during the upcoming Summit: the week of March 15, 2021!

Friction has existed between IT departments and Security Operations for years. If turf wars and business silos are not the cause, the lack of collaboration and communication will often lead to disharmony between the two. The left hand should know what the right hand is doing and vice versa, but that can only happen if the problems between them are acknowledged and addressed. Check out our recent conversation where Lynx CEO Gina Mahin and Steven Bay, Director of Security Operations and Threat Intelligence at Security On-Demand, discuss how Integrated Risk Management can bring a ceasefire to this friction and turn these teams into partners working toward the common goal of protecting the business.

Covid-19 forced organizations and CISOs to restructure basically overnight.  Rapid changes in networks and working practices means increased attack surfaces and security gaps.  Now we are moving to the ‘new normal’ as organizations begin to lift restrictions.  The pandemic may be easing but don’t expect the increased attacks that it initiated to end any time soon.

We at Lynx acknowledge the pain and heartbreak, the frustration and exhaustion overwhelming some of our staff members, customers, partners and friends.  And more broadly, communities of color across America.
