The 2 Biggest Cybersecurity Fears of NASDAQ’s Chief Information Security Officer

I recently spoke with Lou Modano, Chief Information Security Officer of NASDAQ, and asked him what his greatest fears are right now when it comes to keeping NASDAQ cyber-safe. Of course, there are many threats facing NASDAQ – from criminals to hacktivists to nation states – and the stock exchange obviously has an army of highly skilled information-security professionals, intensive information-security-related training, and a robust information-security technological infrastructure, so my question went beyond the usual technological and human issues, and, instead focused on what risks are hardest to correct even with significant cybersecurity resources. As such, CISO Modano’s observations provide insight into the big-picture problems that businesses, cybersecurity professionals, and policymakers should be thinking about.
