    TCW Episode 106: Compliance Is Not a Checkbox

    Ever felt like your compliance checks are just a checkbox exercise? 📝 It's time to rethink the way we approach governance!   Tag someone who needs to hear this! 👇   Today, I sat down with Pierre Paul, a GRC expert who believes governance should live *inside the code*, not just above it. He's challenging the status quo, building AI compliance tools that could revolutionize how we manage risk.   Why does this matter? Because relying solely on templates and frameworks can lead to missed opportunities for real improvement. Let's break free from the cycle of checkbox compliance!   Still figuring this out myself, but it’s a conversation we all need to have.   Show Notes  Follow Pierre-Paul Ferland https://www.linkedin.com/in/ppferland   Like and Follow our LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/company/thecyberweekly   Like and Follow our X page https://twitter.com/thecyberweekly   Follow Deogratius Okello  https://www.linkedin.com/in/deo-okello/ https://twitter.com/deookello51   Follow Josephine Olok  https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephine-olok/ https://twitter.com/josephine_olok   Follow Angella Nabbanja https://www.linkedin.com/in/angella-nabbanja-4b6361178/ https://x.com/angellamukasa_   Follow Magala our Social Media Content Writer  https://www.linkedin.com/in/magala-rogers/                                     Follow Aine our Graphics Designers https://www.linkedin.com/in/aine-allan-60987916a

    Cyberpsychology & AI with Lisa Ventura

    Welcome to The Cyber Weekly! In this episode, we sit down with Lisa Ventura MBE FCIIS MBCS, a trailblazer in cybersecurity awareness, cyberpsychology, and neurodiversity advocacy. Lisa’s unconventional journey from broadcasting into cybersecurity has shaped her unique perspective on the human side of security.

We discuss: How attackers exploit urgency and fear in social engineering Why cyber psychology is critical in today’s AI-driven threat landscape The role of AI in both enabling attackers and empowering defenders How neurodiversity can be leveraged as a competitive advantage Building communities and associations that strengthen cybersecurity culture Her message is clear: “Security is a human problem before it’s a technical one.”   📑 Show Notes & Links 🔗 Follow Lisa Ventura LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisasventura/ Unity Group Solutions: https://unitysolutions.org.uk/ AI and Cyber Security Association: https://aisec.org.uk/ 📢 Follow The Cyber Weekly LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thecyberweekly X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/thecyberweekly 👥 Connect with the Hosts & Team Deogratius Okello LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deo-okello/ X: https://twitter.com/deookello51 Josephine Olok LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephine-olok/ X: https://twitter.com/josephine_olok Angella Nabbanja LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/angella-nabbanja-4b6361178/ X: https://x.com/angellamukasa_ Magala (Social Media Content Writer) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/magala-rogers/ Aine (Graphics Designer) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aine-allan-60987916a

    From Big Tech to Private Eye, Building a Career in Digital Forensics

    You think deleting a message means it's GONE. It's not. But here's what nobody's telling you—law enforcement doesn't have access to everything either. And that gap? It's where justice lives or dies. In this episode of The Cyber Weekly, I sit down with Kenneth Hartman—digital forensics expert, CISO, SANS instructor, and the guy defense attorneys call when they need the truth about digital evidence. Here's what hit me hardest: 🔹 Deleted texts might still be sitting in a database on your phone. 🔹 AI agents are walking around with YOUR credentials right now—and you don't even know it. 🔹 License plate readers are building a map of your life without a warrant. 🔹 The law is NOT keeping up with technology—and that affects ALL of us. Kenneth has worked inside Google, SAP, and Illumina. He's taught cybersecurity on five continents. And now, he's breaking it ALL down in plain language. This isn't just for tech people. This is for anyone who owns a phone, uses the cloud, or believes in the right to a fair trial. #DigitalForensics #CyberSecurity #TechTruths #PrivacyMatters #TheCyberWeekly #DataPrivacy #FutureOfTech #SmartPhoneHacks #tcw  Show Notes  Follow Kenneth G.

    From Fixing iPhones to Hunting Hackers in the Cloud

    In this episode of The Cyber Weekly, I sit down with Jen, a Senior Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst who went from troubleshooting iPads at the Apple Store to hunting advanced cloud threats at Zendesk. Jen reveals the devastating customer experience that triggered her pivot into cybersecurity and why she has stayed at the same company for nearly a decade—defying the industry's job-hopping norm. We dive deep into the terrifying ways AI is weaponizing social engineering, the real dangers of AI hallucinations in threat intelligence, and the absolute biggest lie people believe about breaking into the cybersecurity industry. Whether you are a seasoned analyst or just trying to get your foot in the door, Jen’s unconventional journey and raw honesty about overcoming imposter syndrome and burnout will change how you view your career. 🎙️ In this episode, we discuss: The human cost of data loss and the moment Jen chose to become a defender. Why social engineering—not complex coding—is the biggest threat in the cloud. The exact foundational skills you actually need (and what you don't). How transparency and saying "I don't know" builds boardroom trust.   Show Notes  Follow Jen Kwas https://www.linkedin.com/in/jen-k-3920b2b4   Check out CTIJEN https://ctijen.com/   Like and Follow our LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/company/thecyberweekly   Like and Follow our X page https://twitter.com/thecyberweekly   Follow Deogratius Okello our Producer and Editor https://www.linkedin.com/in/deo-okello/ https://twitter.com/deookello51   Follow Josephine Olok  https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephine-olok/ https://twitter.com/josephine_olok   Follow Angella Nabbanja https://www.linkedin.com/in/angella-nabbanja-4b6361178/ https://x.com/angellamukasa_   Follow Magala our Social Media Content Writer  https://www.linkedin.com/in/magala-rogers/                                     Follow Aine our Graphics Designers https://www.linkedin.com/in/aine-allan-60987916a
