    Episode 12.11 - The bad guys are in your smart TV. You can do something about it.

    This week I talked to the good folks at the Digital Citizens Alliance about a report on residential proxies. Say what? Residential proxies? What the heck are those? They are the apps and hardware products people use to connect to the internet, and they are as secure as a sieve is water tight. The Wall Street Journal published a report on them June 15 and. Back in March the FBI issued an alert abut the dangers they pose. The DCA produced their own report that was, frankly, more informative about the problem.

    Episode 12.10 - The problem of configuration drift with Reach Security

    Back in April, Microsoft released an advisory about phishing gang infiltrating Microsoft Teams meetings. In stunning turn of events, it wasn't a weakness in the Microsoft product but in users turning off or bypassing multiple security controls for external users, and then forgetting to turn them back on. This is what is known as configuration drift. We talked with Reach Security's CEO Garrett Hamilton.

    Episode 12.9 - Data brokers and health care with Rob Shavell of Deleteme

    The data broker market is worth half a trillion dollars and growing at a rate of 7.3 percent annually through 2033. That means they don’t care that you want your privacy. They are making too much money selling your personal information to care. That lack of concern doesn’t just affect an individual’s privacy. It threatens their security and that of nation states. There is a technology niche dedicated to fixing that problem: the personal data removal and online privacy market. The problem is it’s worth a 10th of the data broker market so it doesn’t have the political clout of data brokers. And nowhere is the problem bigger than the healthcare industry, according to Rob Shavell, CEO of Deleteme. This episode is sponsored by Haven, a free browser extension that protects you from phishing links and malicious sites before you ever click.

    Episode 12.8 - Marketing misinformation

    A public relations firm in the United Kingdom, Whiteoaks International, said the quiet part out loud about cybersecurity marketing: that much of it is fiction if not outright fraudulent. I sat down with the rest of the Cyber Protection Magazine team, Patrick Boch and Joe Basques to have a frank discussion about this issue. Frankly, any journalist knew this to be true but to hear it come from a practicing agency was rather surprising.

    Episode 12.7 - When scams are legal: a Chat with MirrorTab's Brian Silverstein

    Just to prove that even the most secure practitioners, like your truly, can fall for the “free lunch” offer, I inadvertently signed up for a shady but completely legal “cash back” offer. Not only did I not get any cash back I got charged for it, had to cancel a debit card and walked through the process (which I described in Cyber Protection Magazine this week. But I also called up Brian Silverstein, CEO of MirrorTab (whom we talked with a couple of weeks ago) about how to be aware when these things pop up unexpectedly and his company's plans to deal with not just scams, but scammy deals.

    Episode 12.6 - Reporter's Notebook on Breach Irrelevance

    AT the RSAC Conference this year a new marketing buzzword appeared in several interviews, most particularly DataKrypto and Cy4Data Labs. They are doing important work, but my interviews with them indicate they need to lift their heads up now and then and look around. Their competitive field is bigger than they think. More on Cyber Protection Magazine next week.

    Episode 12.5 - The Future of Truth, Stephen Rosenbaum

    I talk about the nature of truth in an Ai world with documentarian Steven Rosenbaum in advance of the release next week of his book The Future of Truth, not to be mistaken by the 2025 book of the same name by film maker Werner Herzog.

    Episode 12.4 - Forward, into the past: AI makes legacy media relevant again

    The dirty secret of digital media for the past two decades has been that it doesn't really work. It's just a lot cheaper and easier than actual marketing. Lou Covey and Joe Basques of Cyber Protection Magazine have watched it in its genesis to where it is today and talk about how AI has totally flipped the script, how it changes the metrics and purpose of content and how to make it work for your company.
