How To Adapt To The Current Threat Landscape Jan 25, 2022

Show notes

The landscape of cybersecurity threats has evolved from individual skilled attackers to a huge marketplace built by cybercrime organizations.

Now someone can make an efficient ransomware attack including the payload and the delivery mechanism, and go sell it to whoever can pay the price.

Bruce Snell, security strategy and transformation at NTT, explains that this shift means that the scale of cyberattacks has exponentially grown in recent years. Ten crime organizations now fuel hundreds of thousands of attacks.

In this episode, Bruce discusses how doing the bare minimum to protect your business is no longer enough and outlines the steps you need to take to boost your defenses.

To Protect Against Advanced Email Threats Requires A Different Technology & Approach Jan 18, 2022

Show notes

Business email compromise may have been a big issue before COVID, but in the past couple of years it’s grown exponentially. Not only have nefarious actors been raking in the money, but they’ve also changed tactics. In the early days of this threat, an actor would register a lookalike domain and hope an email from it would get through. Now 95% of this type of email is coming directly from a trusted coworker, vendor, or client accounts who’ve unknowingly put their credentials into a fake login form. Cracking down on this threat is harder when the source is someone you do business with. In this episode, Jeremy Schwarzrock, senior information security analyst at Alerus, gave us the rundown on how his team is putting protections in place to eliminate it.Show Links

How to Make Security Compliance Part of Your Company Culture Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

How secure your company is, comes down to its culture. You might have all of the right rules and policies in place, but if they’re not enforced, then you’ve created a permissive security culture: no one will follow the rules. A secure company culture is not just your stance on how to be secure, it’s how those policies are executed and enforced. In this episode, Al Alper, founder of CyberGuard360, talks to us about how to bring compliance into your company without it feeling like a burden, and explains how culture, compliance, and security all work together.

How to Improve the Cyber Insurance Process Jan 05, 2022

Show notes

In order to get cyber insurance, companies have to fill out long questionnaires to show they’re taking important security steps.

With every passing year, these questionnaires get more complex, and companies have a harder time making sense of them.

As a result, many don’t get the coverage they need.

One of the things the security community can do is identify the top priority actions that companies need to do to reduce impact, instead of leaving them feeling overwhelmed and under-protected.

In this episode, Kirsten Bay, CEO of Cysurance, discusses the things the cybersecurity industry can do to improve the insurance process and what companies can do to make sure they’re getting the right policy for them.

Why Vulnerability Management is a Key Pillar in Your Cybersecurity Program Dec 07, 2021

Show notes

Think about all of the possible entry points for cyberattacks at your company.

There are the computers and hardware at each employee workstation, the servers, the network components, IoT devices. And then there’s the code and your data in the cloud.

With rising security threats from ransomware, data stealing, and crypto miners, how do you keep all of these assets safe?

According to cybersecurity specialist Jeroen van Kessel, a vulnerability management program should be a key pillar of your organization so you can keep track of your assets and any vulnerabilities that could put them at risk.

Don't Underestimate the Human Element in Your Threat Intelligence Program Nov 30, 2021

Show notes

A great intelligence program cannot run on technology alone.

Yochai Corem, CEO of Cyberint, believes that the human element is equally important to machine learning and any other threat detections tools.

In this episode of Cybersecurity Heroes, he explains the steps they take to gather intelligence and protect a company as well as the value of having a threat intelligence partner.

How to Prepare For and Negotiate Ransomware Attacks Sep 28, 2021

Show notes

Ransomware attacks have gone from being a notable threat to a national crisis. Because of the profitability of the attacks, cyber criminals have gotten increasingly sophisticated and their ranks have grown. The Kaseya attacks this summer have underlined how many different vulnerabilities a company can have, including through an MSP. The bottom line: it's often no longer a question of "if," but "when." Organizations need to take action to protect their data. In this episode, Paul Caiazzo, CISO at Avertium, has a rich history in ransomware negotiation.In this episode, he outlines the ways that a company can build their defenses against ransomware attacks and minimize the damage if they do occur.
