I would say that the role of the CISO [chief security information] is
similar to a military role, in fact, we see in the military and various
government agencies they speak in fact cyber war now. We have historically
used guns and that kind of thing, but now we have the weapons to fight
against cyber cyber war. I think the role CISO is similar to that at the
enterprise level.
& # 8212; comments allegedly committed by the Chief Information Security
Susan Mauldin, whose Equifax company lost 143 million Americans and # 8217;
identities
The unprecedented hacking 143 million Americans and # 8217; the details of
the credit file, including their social security numbers, ID issued by the
government, the names, addresses and other personal information raises
serious questions about the qualifications and academic qualifications of a
large company to woman head of computer security. Susan Mauldin, used
credit reporting agency Equifax's Chief Information Security (RSSI), seems
to lack adequate academic qualifications for his role, which required him
to exactly counteract the kind of piracy that hit her employer late July.
With desperate enterprises to hire women in senior IT and the other STEM
roles under the threat of financial sanctions by governments, it is
possible that Susan Mauldin got his current job because of her gender. She
has a bachelor's degree in music composition and a master's degree in music
composition, much that seems to have no relevance to protect the details of
the 143 million people affected.
For Equifax, this could become one of the most costly mistakes imaginable.
Vanity Fair and other outlets report an unlikely $ 70 billion loss due to
anticipated litigation. A senator, Heidi Heitkamp, currently called at
least some employees of higher Equifax to put in prison, although in this
case it mostly responds to allegations of insider trading after several
executives sold shares of the company before reporting the hack.
Regarding college dropouts like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, at least
they made sure that their degrees unfinished roughly match the fields they
did in their billions. We can not tell Susan Mauldin, whose whole job
description revolves around protecting sensitive data.
What Susan Mauldin trying (poorly) to hide?
Many commentators online Mauldin noted that the LinkedIn page has been
deleted mysterious origin. Before the current scandal, it read:
His current resume is entitled only Susan M & # 8221. (At the time of
publication) and without reference to the diplomas of musical composition.
All I could see was University of Georgia, without further explanation, in
his grades. For almost any reasonable observer, it is a tacit admission by
her that she has not the normal requirements or planned for such a role of
high (and well paid).
Even more alarming, a website called Cazena obviously suppressed the
transcription of an interview last year with Susan Mauldin, where, very
conveniently, she tried to ridicule people who questioned IT security cloud
(Google cache) . The video version also disappeared Walkabouts and when I
tried to access it, I am taken to a page of generic resources.
Susan Mauldin should be proud to stand on his record. She took high levels
of remuneration for its role in the Internet Equifax and size of anything
that might compromise his professionalism is misleading and very
problematic in light of the serious criminal damage hacking scandal has
caused and continue to cause.
The curse STEM woman
Susan Mauldin may not have cheated someone like Elizabeth Holmes (former s
CV was public knowledge), but both are now facing charges of being
dangerously unqualified for their roles STEM.
Sound familiar? Well, I brought the Elizabeth Holmes Blood tests & # 8221
Empire implosion; last year and invited contributor ROK Justin Puck had
already called his failing company Theranos on the previous year. Holmes
dazzled & # 8211; and was scammed & # 8211; its investors for years, with
some, especially in the media, ready to criticize such a girl feminist
gold. This ignorance risked countless lives and eventually caused the
federal government of the United States to intervene and half flush the
young woman very exposed out of his chosen industry.
In another case, a woman much less well-known working there as a
relationship manager, Jayde Phoenix used her breasts to try to promote
itself. No obvious qualifications that could lead to his being described as
an expert, Phoenix was nevertheless celebrated as a kind of super-genius
STEM by various documents. Such is the desperation of affirmative action
and political diversity.
These stories may seem anecdotal, but they reflect broader problems, not to
mention a general dumbing down of the STEM fields & # 8211; and workplaces
and # 8211; to accommodate women. One of my articles earlier this year
covered female physicist s complaints and even high school physics courses
at the university have been eroded specifically to make it easier for girls.
Susan Mauldin and those who hired need to explain how God's green earth, it
could serve as responsible for information security Equifax. Short of its
having some talent as a prodigy, she never failed to mention LinkedIn,
anyone in their right mind would hire a woman with no discernible technical
skills in computer security.
Who will take the blame for that?
Two very large breasts topped. Oh, and / Professional STEM Jayde Phoenix.
While no one suggests Susan Mauldin has a criminal responsibility, nor that
any hacking attempt is preventable, Equifax seriously need a well-trained
professional and educated to effectively control its IT security
operations. Perhaps more evidence will be revealed in the coming weeks, but
so far the indication is that the company should have to look more and more
difficult for a candidate with a solid, including theoretical, technology
training of information.
If someone steal an unlicensed pilot plane crashed a plane, not a question
that is responsible & # 8211; unskilled prospectus and the company that
hired them. While there may not be strict legal requirements that a
security officer to the Chief Information have a typical academic, someone
without such a pedigree needs to share much of the blame when a company
like Equifax has its computer security systems completely gutted.
But what makes something like this, if companies insist on hiring women in
STEM fields at all costs?
