Ukraine Invasion: Lessons On Cyber Warfare (WAR) And Its Impact On Humanity | A Conversation With Grant Gibson | Redefining Society With Marco Ciappelli May 09, 2022

Show notes

Some say that nobody wants war, and yet here we are. They are different because technology has changed, but they still suck. Is there a clear distinction between cyber and kinetic warfare? Does it even matter? What can we learn about it from this war in Ukraine?

Despite the distinction between different kinds of war for headlines and panel conversation, war is war. Under that horrible word, you can line up as many strategies, tools, and methodologies as you like, but once something is used as a weapon against others, it all sounds like war. In today’s conversation with Grant Gibson, we discuss what is happening in Ukraine and how what we are observing is unique, either in the techniques used or in how those are used. An underground cyberwar is going on, which is part of a larger war. Tinder reveals troop locations; amateur drones are taking part in the action discovering and helping to destroy vehicles on convoys, civilian hackers take up arms, and Microsoft and other tech companies play support roles. All the while, leaders try to strategize cyber protocols in wartime theaters.

This will be a moment that defines cyber warfare — well, warfare.

Spoiler alert, you can call war what you want; it is still something that shouldn’t exist — in any form.

Technology And Society, Robotics And Entertainment | Using Comedy To Make Robots And Chatbots More Human-Like And Less Boring | An Audio Signals Conversation With Sarah Rose Siskind And Carolyn Ayers May 06, 2022

Show notes

Creating machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms for chatbots and robots is no laughing matter. Or is it?

Our guests, Sarah Rose Siskind and Carolyn Ayers, think that laughter is a critical element in making machine-based systems function and act more like humans. What does that actually mean, though? That's what we want to find out in today's conversation.

Sarah and Carolyn help make robots and chatbots less boring! Yes, that’s a real job; their real job. In fact, global organizations like Honda Research Institute of Japan rely on Sarah and Carolyn to inject personality into their robotic companion characters. They helped Honda win awards in social robotics. In another example, Hanson Robotics relied on Sarah and Carolyn to create Sophia, the Robot with the right blend of charisma, personality and technical detail. They also helped create a character for Volkswagen who lived in the dashboard.

There's a ton Sarah and Carolyn have done, including developing the personality for neural network and AI-based, open-ended chatbots who have chatted with celebrities such as Mark Cuban, Ron Howard, Jimmy Fallon, and Neil DeGrasse Tyson, just to name a few!

Join us, our guests, and perhaps a bot, for this engaging, we-think-is-funny, conversation.

We Talk About The Importance Of Internship Opportunities, Self-Care & Mental Health, Diversity Amongst Teams And More! | A Conversation with Application Security Engineer Cara Zissman | Focal Point With Angela Marafino May 06, 2022

Show notes

On this episode of Focal Point, Angela dives deep into some of the personal aspects of working in a cybersecurity role with AppSec Engineer, Cara Zissman. While we all have different experiences on different teams, in different roles, there are many underlying issues that we have to keep in mind in order to maintain our well-being and be our best.

Being open about diversity, inclusion, mental health, and self-care can serve as a reminder for others and yourself on the importance of these topics. Maintaining a healthy balance of work, volunteering, and personal time is also extremely important in preventing burnout.

Listen to this episode and reflect on whether or not you've been keeping yourself in check and doing what's best for you in your personal and professional life.

Knowledge Is Different Than Information | Investing In The CyberSecurity Crowd Means Investing In Businesses, Society, And Humanity | A CrowdSec Brand Story With CEO Philippe Humeau And Hacker-Maker Phillip Wylie May 02, 2022

Show notes

How can an industry have so much data and information yet still lack the knowledge necessary to make quick, meaningful, impactful decisions? There could be many reasons, but one is no longer a missing intelligence-sharing platform.

In this second chapter of our conversation with CrowdSec CEO, Philippe Humeau, we invite The Hacker Maker, Phillip Wylie, to bring his penetration testing experience and insights. Together we explore the value of investing in the cybersecurity community information sharing platform as a way to do way more than protect your organization. By doing so, we can help secure other businesses and whole communities in the neighbors around you, such as a local hospital that could experience an attack that you've already seen on your network.

The value of investing in the security knowledge sharing economy directly impacts IT operations, security operations, businesses, society, and, therefore, humanity.

Join us for a philosophical yet fun, thought-provoking conversation that will likely prompt you to not only share this podcast with your friends, colleagues, and peers but also start sharing your cybersecurity insights with your digital neighbors through the power of the CrowdSec platform.

Modern Cybersecurity: Tales Of The Near-Distant Future | With Sounil Yu And Caroline Wong | Episode 2 Apr 30, 2022

Show notes

Everything is interconnected. We need to turn around and face the bear together, instead of working against each other when it comes to cybersecurity.

The old adage of "If a bear is chasing you, you just need to run faster than the other person(s) being chased" no longer applies. Caroline Wong and Sounil Yu talk about how we can do better and help each other along the way via their chapters in Modern Cybersecurity as well as their new publications, Ptaas the Book and Cyber Defense Matrix, respectively.

We also discuss how to make back-ups cool, that the first ransomware attack occurred in the late '80's, and some life hacks you surely don't want to miss!
