Welcome to this episode of "404 Cybersecurity Not Found," where we delve into the revolutionary world of quantum computing and its implications for cybersecurity. In this engaging podcast, host Brad and Dr. David Day, CEO of Samurai Security, explore the cutting-edge intersection of quantum computing and digital security.

This discussion unpacks the potential of quantum computing to transform the cybersecurity landscape, particularly focusing on encryption and the formidable computing power quantum systems promise. Dr. Day explains the basic principles of quantum mechanics, like superposition and entanglement, and discusses their profound effects on computing power and data security.

From theoretical underpinnings to practical challenges and future implications, this episode is a deep dive into how quantum advancements could reshape our approach to cybersecurity. Tune in to learn about the state of current research, the potential for quantum supremacy, and how these technologies might influence global security dynamics.

In this podcast episode, Dr. David Day discusses the impact of AI on cybersecurity, explaining how it enhances both cyberattacks and defenses by learning from vast datasets to predict and mitigate threats. He emphasizes the need for cybersecurity professionals to embrace AI as a tool to augment their capabilities and stay ahead of emerging threats.

Our in-house cyber-security expert, Luke Hill, explains the importance of cyber awareness training for your business.

Dr David Day and Brad Thomas discuss their experiences of cybersecurity insurance, the pros, and cons, will they pay a claim, what will it cover, is it worth it?

John Strand is the owner of Black Hills Information Security, and he has over 2 decades of experience in cybersecurity. In this podcast, David and Brad from Samurai interview John and share stories and anecdotes about their dealings with organisations across all verticals over the years.

When you start planning against a hack, you need to make sure that you can identify your risks. When you strip down risk to its core, it boils to threats and vulnerabilities. Don’t be blinded by one aspect of the danger and assume that the same threat will be repeated. An attacker will never follow just one type of methodology. The threat actors will use any technique at their disposal!

The red team instigates the trouble when it comes to penetration testing. Red teaming is quite aggressive - a nuclear version of a pen test if you will. The red team goes the whole hog, and all vulnerabilities are exposed. Blue teaming is more defensive, and it is all about evaluating the detection/prevention tools you have put in place to protect yourself against an attack. Purple teaming is a joint red and blue test. Brad Thomas probes Dr. David Day to give us the scoop on red, blue, and purple teaming in this podcast. Listen in.
