How do you defend against all these threats and how do you prioritize? - **(09:55) Q2:** As a medium size business, how do you prioritize threat intelligence that shows vulnerabilities against your tech stack?  - **(14:37) Q3:** There’s been a lot of talk about the shared responsibility model, particularly after the Capital One incident, what are your thoughts on shared responsibility? What is Egnyte responsible for and what are your clients responsible for in regards to security?  - **(20:18) Q4:** Does attribution matter? If so, no organization is going to be able to devote resources to attributing all attempted threat activity, where do you draw the line? Which types of attacks or actors are you willing to make that investment on and why?  - **(23:33) Q5:** Many say that modern day application development does not take into consideration or prioritize security controls. What approach and strategy did you take to bake in security controls when building Egnyte?   Topics: [podcast](https://blog.nisos.com/podcast/topic/podcast) [cyber5](https://blog.nisos.com/podcast/topic/cyber5) ##### Written by [Nisos](https://blog.nisos.com/podcast/author/nisos) ###### [Previous Post](https://blog.nisos.com/podcast/cyber5_episode16) [![](https://blog.nisos.com/hubfs/Podcast__Logo%20(TM)%20+%20Nisos-Jul-24-2020-09-01-41-96-AM.png)](https://blog.nisos.com/podcast/cyber5_episode16) ###### [Episode 16: Managing Cyber Risk Through Data Flow Accountability with JMBM Partner Michael Gold](https://blog.nisos.com/podcast/cyber5_episode16) ###### [Next Post](https://blog.nisos.com/podcast/cyber5_episode18) [![](https://blog.nisos.com/hubfs/Podcast__Logo%20(TM)%20+%20Nisos-Jul-24-2020-08-54-06-70-AM.png)](https://blog.nisos.com/podcast/cyber5_episode18) ###### [Episode 18: Using Threat Intelligence Throughout the Enterprise with LogMeIn Security Manager Michael Rennie](https://blog.nisos.com/podcast/cyber5_episode18) ### Post a Comment ### Featured ![](https://blog.nisos.com/hubfs/Nisos-Logo-White.png) Responsive strategies and intelligent defenses for protecting your enterprise. - Services - Managed Intelligence - Security Investigations - Why Nisos - Company - Resources - [Blog](https://blog.nisos.com/blog) - [Case Studies](https://blog.nisos.com/case-studies) - [White Papers](https://blog.nisos.com/technical-blogs) - [Podcast](https://blog.nisos.com/podcast) - [News](https://blog.nisos.com/news) - Contact ###### Contact Us [1-703-382-8400](tel:1-703-382-8400) [info@nisos.com](mailto:info@nisos.com) 603 King Street, Suite 300 Alexandria, VA 22314 [![Learn More](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6068438/043dbe58-e265-499f-8574-2e0d1b4d410e.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6068438/043dbe58-e265-499f-8574-2e0d1b4d410e) ©2020 Nisos.
