    S4S3 State of Ransomware in Cyber Security - Interview by AlgoSec

    Discussion with AlgoSec around ransomware based off of the Extrahop Cyber Confidence Index 2022.  I cover numerous questions about what organizations are doing today and what they should change to improve cyber defenses.  The crux of this study shows the cognitive dissonance of cyber security leaders and IT decision makers.  They believe one thing whereas the evidence completely contradicts what they say.

    S4E10 Cyber Security Attacks in the News Summer 2022

    In this episode I discuss cyber-attacks in the Summer of 2022.  I’ll review who was attacked, its impact, and the aftermath.  While I would love to go into the technical details about the attacks, that data becomes harder and harder to find with each breach and news release.  Victims are tight lipped and apparently being told more and more to not share technical details.    We know that both China and Russia have increased cyber-attacks due to global tension in Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) and Ukraine.  I am certain there have been many, many, more that we are not hearing about for internal security reasons as well as not “tipping our hand” that we know what’s happening or who we believe is doing the attacks.  Attribution for attacks is extremely difficult as mentioned previously with the swatting incident on an American federal representative.   Recognized in the top 100 Cyber Security Podcasts by Million Podcasts.  Sign up for NewsBits from SANS Sign up for the OUCH!

    S4E9 Online Cyber Security Tools and Building Lab Environments

    This episode covers online tools and lab environments that cyber security students and early professionals can use to learn and increase technical skills.  While these environments are usually meant for those that want to get very deep with the technical side of cyber security, non-technical folks can certainly use these as well.  The tools/trainings go as deep as the user wants.  I also go over building a lab at home using Virtual Box or VMWare.  I also provide insight and recommendations for building a Cloud based lab environment in Azure or AWS.  This episode came out of comments made by Adrianus Warmenhove in S4E8 around VPN's and NordVPN.

    S4E7 Red Team, Blue Team, Purple Team in the Cyber Security Realm

    Here I talk about different avenues within cyber security.  We use terms such as red team, blue team, and purple team when discussing offense, defense, and a merger of the two.  I’ll go over different technologies, teams that cover each of these areas and jobs that involve each team.  We have these teams and terms due to the size and complexity of the overall cyber security profession.   This episode provides a lot of insight on technologies and jobs to help listeners better focus on their cyber security journey.

    S4E6 Getting More from Your Cyber Security Employer

    This episodes has me  talking about how employees can get enhanced benefits from their employer.  Most people figure salary is the only thing that matters from when it comes to the benefits of working.  This is a major mistake.  Healthcare alone can potentially bring thousands of dollars per year in additional compensation and companies vary greatly in this area.  401(k) programs have the potential of financially beating healthcare benefits depending on your salary, contribution, and company match program.   Does your employer treat you right with travel arrangements and expenses?  How about gym memberships or mass transit reimbursements?  Listen on and find ways to make hundreds or even thousands of dollars more from your employers existing benefits.
