The Cybersecurity Evangelist: EP 5 – The ISAC Edition, Part 1 (for Infrastructure Security Month) Nov 10, 2020

Show notes

For this November episode of TCE I’ve decided to take on ~~National Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month~~, ~~Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month, Critical Infrastructure Month~~, Infrastructure Security Month, whew! Actually, I’ve been almost as overwhelmed with responses from people wanting to be a part of this edition as I am with the litany of names given to this critical observance. That said, this edition/theme is likely to be in three or four parts so we can evangelize as many ISAC’s (and ISAO’s) as we can!

During this episode we get the ISAC party started with discussions from DNG-ISAC and MM-ISAC!

The Risk Roundtable: EP 13. Finally, Critical Infrastructure has come back to RR! Nov 03, 2020

Show notes

At long last, and after countless suggestions, the team channels their inner "Rock" and brings Critical Infrastructure back to the Risk Roundtable. After discussing Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month and some of the key threats facing critical infrastructures. Andy then guides the team through some quick hits including Jorhena's appreciation for November also serving as Gratitude Month, or Dave Pounder Appreciation Month, Dave encouraging us to consider Security Mindfulness and Jen making sure we didn't forget any of the many threats facing Critical Infrastructure. And even though this was generally an "election free" podcast, be sure to catch Jorhena as she talked about election misinformation issues on Good Morning DC - link to follow. Plus someone is a little sensitive about Spookley the Square Pumpkin.

The Cybersecurity Evangelist: EP4 – “Am I doing enough?” Part 2 Oct 14, 2020

Show notes

Shay Trembley, Information Security Manager of South Blount Utility District, and I finish up the remaining 4 "P's of Basic Cybersecurity" - a timely topic in recognition of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM). We address passwords, privacy, patching, and protection, and include several of our personal favorite resources for cybersecurity awareness for everyone. Shay's final tip: she encourages everyone to speak up and share information. The more everyone shares information about the cyber threats and risks, or even suspected threats and risks, the better we will all be informed and #BeCyberSmart.

In recognition of NCSAM, we individually listed a ton of resources to help businesses and individuals to #BeCyberSmart:

The Cybersecurity Evangelist: EP3 - "Am I Doing Enough?" Part 1 Sep 18, 2020

Show notes

I am joined by Shay Trembley on the third episode of The Cybersecurity Evangelist (TCE). Shay and I discuss practical tips to the question “Am I doing enough?” We begin our chat with a very real-world incident that nearly cost a small-town water utility $3.2M in fraudulent wire transfers. Then we make a quick nod to two very “human-oriented” awareness initiatives before wading in to what I am calling on this episode, “the 5 P’s of basic cybersecurity” to help make sure you ARE doing enough!
