How effective is the use of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in security? Are they even relevant, and if so, do KPIs work differently for security teams than others?
In this episode, Robby chats with someone that’s had a lot to do with KPIs, both in his position as the former Head of the government CERT in Denmark (GovCERT), as well as a SOC Analyst for more than 10 years. Marc Andersen shares his experiences chasing KPIs, and discusses whether self-governance is a better alternative for security teams.

Who better to continue our Operational Technology (OT) miniseries with than KraftCERT, the Norwegian Energy and Control System CERT!
KraftCERT helps industrial control system (ICS) related industries establish incident response teams, build digital security processes, and get a better understanding of the threat landscape. With us for this episode, we've invited someone that has been with KraftCERT from the start; Senior Security Analyst Lars Erik Smevold.
Lars Erik shares with us what affects the threat landscape for KraftCERT's member organisations, the most common threats he's seeing targeting them, and how he hopes the industry will continue to move towards making cyber incidents targeting ICS and OT systems public.
Stay tuned for more OT specific episodes, where we look into the security challenges in the OT space, in the coming weeks.

Data science and security visibility

How can we best apply data science techniques to gain security visibility?
What data you collect obviously affects your detection capabilities, but as many have painfully experienced; there can be too much of a good thing!
In this episode, Robby is joined by Jeff Barto. He is the Chief Security Officer at a large hedge fund in the US, has worked in security for over 20 years and has a lot of experience asking himself the question “how much data is enough?”. Jeff takes us through what types of data is he collecting and why, and how to collect data smartly to get the detection capabilities you need.
Robby and Jeff also discuss their take on the future of data science and security visibility, and whether now is the time to ditch people and leave security for the machines?
