The Impact of Legislation in 2019 Jan 22, 2019

Show notes

Legislation by its nature is government and regulator driven, resulting in a move towards national regulation at a time when cross border collaboration is needed. Organizations will struggle to keep abreast of such developments which may also impact business models which many have taken for granted. This will be a particular challenge to cloud implementations where understanding the location of cloud data has been an oversight.
In the second episode in this four-part series which explores the greatest cyber threats in 2019, Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF discusses the impact of legislation on organisations, and the challenges regulators and legislators face trying to keep pace with cybersecurity.

CISOs: The Need for a Clear Vision (Ondrej Krehel, Part 2) Dec 06, 2018

Show notes

Attacks from nation-states, where organisations are at risk are increasingly appearing on the threat horizon. As extortion is predicted to become one of the most common forms of cybercrime, it is imperative for the board to create a solid eco system between executives and individuals to conduct technical operations. Without a clear vision in place, CISOs will lack the transparency needed to overcome innovative attacks and face more barriers in the future.
In the second part of this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director at the ISF talks with Ondrej Krehel, CEO and founder of LIFARS LLC. They discuss the impact of the escalation of cyber-attacks, the challenges this presents for CISOs, and how the c-suite and board need to prepare to counteract them effectively.

A Digital Forensics Specialist on Data Breaches (Ondrej Krehel, Part 1) Nov 29, 2018

Show notes

It is an unavoidable fact that businesses and organisations’ sensitive information will be breached at some stage in the future. When a network has been compromised, proper investigation and remediation to the incident is vital, as the impact can be significant in the digital world. There are various steps that need to be taken to respond and recover from a data breach, much like the processes that are observed in a medical centre. Those steps create a tedious, disruptive process that may take more than one cyber life cycle to heal.
In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director at the ISF talks with Ondrej Krehel, CEO and founder of LIFARS LLC, an international cybersecurity and digital forensics firm specialising in remediation and resolution services. Here they discuss how data breaches are inevitable to businesses, and how organisations can prepare to effectively retaliate in the new world filled with cyber warfare.

Doing Business the Cyber Way Oct 23, 2018

In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director ISF discusses the 21st century workforce, and how businesses can attract and retain in an era of gig economy and short-term employee contracts, and what skill-sets are needed within a business to keep pace with the speed of technological developments.
