Balancing Reward Over Risk | Evolving CyberSecurity Through Systems Engineering And Committee Collaboration | Redefining CyberSecurity With Howard Miller And Ron Ross Apr 04, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, NIST Fellow, Ron Ross, and Pepperdine Graziadio Business School Advisory Board Member, Howard Miller, join the show to discuss risk assessment, reward analysis, and security management in the age of advanced technology and complex system innovation.

To secure a system, the sum of all of its parts must also be secure. This includes firmware, applications, APIs, networks, communications, storage, and more. Each complete system is often comprised of multiple subsystems, making it unique and bringing with it its own risk profile different from all other systems.

Join us as we explore the concept of analyzing the reward in connection to the risk as a means to help make better risk-vs-reward decisions in support of securely fostering innovation as opposed to stifling innovation out of fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

Let’s Learn About Quantum Computing! | Quantum Physic Sounds Like Magic But Its Applications In Computing Are Getting Quite Real In Our Everyday Life | An Audio Signals Conversation With Professor Doug Tougaw Mar 30, 2022

Show notes

If you are fascinated by quantum computing but do not know much about it, this podcast is an excellent place to start. Professor Doug Tougaw is very patient and extremely well versed in explaining those fundamental and more complicated questions you may have about this topic.

“If you can think about quantum theory without getting dizzy, you don’t get it.” — Niels Bohr

Bohr was a pioneer in the field and one of the first people to describe the weird things that burst from quantum theory.

This was a while back, and things still sound weird and tough to understand and explain, even after many years and many accomplishments in quantum mechanics and application. Nevertheless, scientists and engineers are able to do amazing things with it. Computing is one of them.

We have heard of quantum computing for a while now, and you may wonder if we are there yet. Are we? Looks like we are really getting there, with all the entanglements, superpositions, dead and alive cats, and all the weird things too.

Join us to learn some quantum physics basics and what can be the concrete applications in our everyday life in the near and a bit more far future. It may sound like magic, and maybe it is.

But are we there yet? 😬

About Doug
Doug Tougaw is a professor in and chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Valparaiso University. His main area of research interest is in the field of Quantum Cellular Automata (QCA). He was awarded the "Best Regional Paper" award at the 2007 Conference of the American Society of Engineering Educators.He was also runner-up for the USA National IEEE Young Engineer award. His contribution to the field has focused on the building of medium-scale integration components such as full-adders from basic QCA gates as well as fault-tolerance studies of QCA wires.

Effective Altruism And A Framework To Solve Pressing Problems | A Conversation With Ziyaan Virji | DeltaX Podcast With Ellen Xu Mar 30, 2022

Show notes

3 years. $3-8. 100% biodegradable. Ziyaan created For the Menstruator from a school project, following a transformative life experience as a teenager in Kenya. They’ve changed lives for 13,500+ girls.

“Over 500 million menstruators don’t have access, in Kenya 65%, in Africa an average of 1 in 10 girls don’t have access. These numbers are huge and no one is talking about this.”

After a near-death experience when he was 15, Ziyaan had a wake up call. When he saw a documentary about menstruators not having access to sanitary products, he started off with a local effort with helping 22 girls in Tanzania. This grew into a grassroots movement and organization in For the Menstruator. For his contributions, Ziyaan has been awarded the Princess Diana Award, Global Teen Leader, and more.

In this episode, we talk about:

Effective altruism - how to actually make a difference
Empowerment vs solution
The “Why” and “How” of social impact

Researchers Are Your Friends | A Conversation With Jay Balan | Tech Done Different With Ted Harrington Mar 29, 2022

Show notes

As a Security Research Director, Jay Balan has lived on both sides of the responsible disclosure process: he is a researcher himself, submitting vulnerabilities to companies—and he has a built his own bug bounty program for his company, to receive vulnerabilities. He joins Tech Done Different to discuss the current state of relations between researchers and the companies they study, and what needs to change.

You'll learn:

why it matters to have a security contact at your company
why to hire a security company, and how to vet them
why it is good to allow white hat hackers to hack you (yes, seriously)
why "no vulnerabilities" is not the goal

The Impact Of Digital Experiences On Adolescents With Mental Health Vulnerabilities | Redefining Society With Sonia Livingstone Mar 29, 2022

Show notes

Since when technology has entered our daily life, every new generation of parents has to deal with their children's education on how to use and not to use it. Things got more complicated, from not listening to Rock'n'roll music to not watching too much TV to video games and now everything the internet brings us. "No" is the easy button but not the correct one. It is a complex world online, and it has become harder and harder to understand the dynamics that shape our interaction with this new techno reality. It is even harder for adolescents, and it gets even more complex when we consider those groups of adolescents facing mental health problems.
“Public and policy debates often link rising rates of adolescents’ mental health problems to increasing internet use. But these debates have not always been rigorously grounded in evidence concerning both possible benefits and harms. There is a gap in understanding between those who are experts in mental health and those with expertise in the culture, political economy and regulation of the digital environment, hence many questions remain. Can adolescents’ internet use increase the risk of poor mental health and what aspects of ‘the internet’ matter? Can digital technologies support adolescents’ mental health, whether by placing barriers on the pathway to harm or by introducing online help?“
Can adolescents’ internet use increase the risk of eating disorders, self-harm and overall poor mental health?

Can internet use support adolescents’ mental health, whether by placing barriers on the pathway to harm or by introducing online help?

What aspects of “the internet” matter? The research highlights the multidimensional nature of digital engagement, going beyond straightforward ideas of “internet use.”
In this podcast, I spoke about all of this and more with Dr. Sonia Livingstone, following our conversation about a year ago.

You can catch up on that one here: Book | Parenting For A Digital Future. How Hopes And Fears About Technology Shape Children's Lives | An Audio Signals Conversation With Sonia Livingstone

Business Continuity: Building And Operationalizing A Functional Disaster Recovery Plan | A Live Stream Panel With Dr Rebecca Wynn And Gayle Anders | Redefining CyberSecurity With Sean Martin Mar 29, 2022

Show notes

Every organization has exposure to risk. Every organization experiences events that cross over the risk threshold to quickly realize they are facing an incident head-on.

It's how the organization prepares for these situations that matter most. Preparation is so much more than recognizing that a disaster might occur. It's also more than having a documented plan draft months (maybe even years ago) that, if activated, would prove worthless—or worse—counterproductive such that the disaster turns into an all-out crisis. A disaster doesn't need to result in a crisis, and that's what we will cover in this episode—how to keep the business running without killing the business in the process.

Join us for this session as we explore the following points:
◾️ What is a disaster?
◾️ Goals of a disaster recovery plan
◾️ How to build a functional plan
◾️ Who builds it?
◾️ Who validates it?
◾️ What is in the plan
◾️ How does a BC/DR plan fit into your IT/IS programs (IR, for example)
◾️ Testing/Tabletop exercises
