054 NYC CISO Geoff Brown on Public Privacy and Security

This week we welcome back to our show Geoff Brown, chief information security officer for the City of New York. In a city with 8 million citizens that’s also a global center of commerce, innovation, and tourism, protecting the public when they use publicly available online resources is an effort toward making everyone safer. New York City’s leadership is in the process of implementing a new initiative they’re calling “NYC Secure” that aims to better protect the city’s residents, workers, and visitors from cyber threats. Geoff Brown describes the new initiative, and explains how it could serve as a model for other municipalities and communities around the world.
