Episode 8.10 -- Google needs news. News doesn't need Google

April 15, 2024 22:42 - 24 minutes - 22.2 MB

Last week, Google started removing California-based news sites from search results in retaliation for the legislature advancing the California Journalism Protection Act. The act requires Google to pay the sites when they provide links to news coverage that people are searching for. Google has tried to strongarm governments in Australia and Canada when they passed national "link taxes" designed to keep publications financially stable and both times Google has backed down and came to an agre...

Episode 8.9 - Crystal Moring, tea ladies and personal responsibility

April 04, 2024 00:33 - 23 minutes - 21.9 MB

We are neck-deep in politics here in the US, but did you know that by the end of this year, two-thirds of the planet will be making some sort of political decision about their country? That means election interference will be at a historical high. We will have a larger story on this next week in Cyber Protection Magazine but today we talk with Crystal Morin, the cybersecurity strategist for Sysdig about the ethical use of AI and social media and how we can all play our part in keeping all of...

Episode 8.8 - Red teaming AI

March 25, 2024 20:38 - 21 minutes - 19.5 MB

We have written several articles at Cyber Protection Magazine under the title of Defense Against the AI arts and this interview today falls into that category. The company’s name is Enkrypt and the CEO is a nice guy named Sahil Agarwal. What the company does, among other things is it provides a red-team service for companies integrating a new AI, either homegrown or third party, and tells the company if the AI has any security holes or other common flaws. Also check out the book review, men...

TikTok: Hoist on its own petard

March 15, 2024 22:05 - 8 minutes - 8.02 MB

A very, special episode providing some perspective, without offering an opinion on the legislation, about the TikTok controversy, The debate over the appropriateness of the Congressional action against TikTok can be debated for a long time and probably will until the Senate takes action—which could be weeks. What is less debatable is TikTok’s, and pretty much all of the social media industry’s contribution to the situation. In essence, social media has been hoist on its own petard. --- S...

Episode 8.7: Arming insurance companies for cyberbattle

March 06, 2024 18:59 - 24 minutes - 23.1 MB

With the exception of people in insurance, nobody like to talk about insurance. That's why, three years ago, few people felt sorry for the insurance industry as it reeled from claims due to multiple natural disasters, rising costs of automobile repairs and, more specifically, data breaches. Last year, however, was a banner year for cyber insurance while cyber criminals took the financial hit. The size of the global cyber insurance market is predicted to see rapid growth the total market si...

Episode 8.6 -- Bad month for cyber criminals.

February 24, 2024 00:14 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MB

It has been a bad month for cybercrime. Yes, attacks are on the way up. Yes, they are still extorting money and causing infrastructure chaos. But there is a massive, shadow-busting spotlight on them right where they live and defense technology is advanced enough that they are hearing footfalls of law enforcement behind them. Recently a faked call from "President Joe Biden" to New Hampshire Democrats urged them not to vote in the state’s primary. It only took a few weeks using AI-detection t...

Episode 8.5 -- FIDO, PCI fighting the good fight for security with payment cards

February 17, 2024 21:11 - 27 minutes - 37.5 MB

Biometric multi-factor authentication is all the rage in security. And yet it is also the cause of terror for security-minded folk. For every breakthrough we get a news story about how it has caused harm. Some systems can’t identify people of color as well as it can caucasian people, which has been a problem of photographic technology for decades. Police using the systems have ended up surveilling if not arresting the wrong people. Using DNA to get an AI to develop a suspect’s face has sim...

Episode 8.3 - Making your personal medical data safe

February 07, 2024 16:41 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MB

Generally speaking, 70-90 percent of digital breaches in the world result from human error; someone just not taking proper precautions like not clicking on a link in an email from someone you don't know. But in the healthcare industry, human error is the least of their problems. A whopping 84 percent of breaches are the result of vulnerabilities in the network, both hardware and software. One of those vulnerabilities is in how a clinic or other provider collects and stores that data, so we ...

Episode 8.3 - Centific is fixing AI before it becomes Skynet

January 24, 2024 22:25 - 18 minutes - 16.9 MB

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI has infamously said the goal of AI companies is to build AI without concern for application or safety. The safety stuff can be figured out later, he thinks. Luckily there are multiple industries popping up to take care of the application and safety issues concurrently with AI development. Companies like Centific are prt of that effort making sure the data used in training AIs is "clean." In other words, it is both accurate and safe. That's a tough job, according to C...

Episode 8.2 --The most dangerous people on the Internet: Our take

January 17, 2024 10:06 - 23 minutes - 22.1 MB

Every year, Wired Magazine publishes an article naming the most dangerous people on the internet and, quite frankly, who gets chosen is fairly obvious, but not altogether accurate. At least that is what we think at Cyber Protection Magazine. So this year, we took our shot at naming the most dangerous people.

Episode 8.1 -- Harri Hursti makes me feel stupid about elections

January 04, 2024 18:53 - 47 minutes - 44 MB

Harri Hursti is an internationally recognized expert on election security and was a focal point in two HBO specials on the subject: Hacking Democracy (2006) and Kill Chain: The Cyber Wars Against America's Elections. So when we decided to do a special issue on election security at Cyber Protection Magazine this year, getting an interview with him was high on our priority list. We didn't expect it to happen so early, but it's a great start. Hursti runs the Voting Village program at DefCon ev...

Episode 7.29 - Would you bet your job on that post?

December 04, 2023 15:30 - 21 minutes - 19.9 MB

In a world awash in AI-generated, intentional misinformation and urban myths, would you bet your job on the reliability of the information you want to share? You might be betting someone's life on it. Disinformation (intentional misinformation) has become a major support for both sides of all conflicts in the world. Once called propaganda, technology, mostly social media, has turned state-controlled information into a virtually immortal beast that can end up turning on its creator. --- Sen...

Episode 7.28 -- Privacy Not Included, in pretty much anything

November 22, 2023 15:11 - 30 minutes - 28.5 MB

Two years ago we interviewed Jen Caltrider, head of Mozilla foundation's Privacy Not Included group and got an earful about how bad Meta's privacy was in its products. This year we caught up to Jen and she said they are still bad, but in two years they've been surpassed by Amazon and Google.

Episode 7.27 - Deep fake acceptance increasing but at what cost?

November 17, 2023 18:07 - 30 minutes - 28.3 MB

Synthedia, a data research company focused on generative AI and synthetic media markets, dropped a study recently on awareness of deep fake and voice cloning technology that raised some interesting numbers. We are doing a deeper dive on the subject at Cyber Protection Magazine next week, but we sat down with Vijay Subramaniyan, the CEO of PinDrop, a study sponsor, to talk more generally about the findings and what the dangers of the technology are. --- Send in a voice message: https://pod...

Episode 7.26 -- Update your software, but pay no attention to the statistics

November 02, 2023 19:25 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MB

The bulk of this episode is about the importance of updating your software no matter how painful it is, and we learn some valuable information about the FREE services of Trackd from its CEO Mike Starr that will help you do that with minimum fuss. But the REAL reason I did this interview is that in their pitch to me and in Mike's interview, they used some statistics about the problem of cybercrime and its effects that are not based on truth. They've just been repeated over and over again. T...

Episode 7.25: Linkedin account hijacked? It's not hopeless

October 25, 2023 18:50 - 33 minutes - 30.9 MB

Instances of LinkedIn users having their accounts hijacked are a familiar occurrence on social media. Reddit has multiple discussions about the nightmare of trying to restore access to this crucial business tool. So when a friend called me in a panic about having it happen to him, I knew it would be a great opportunity to test out the advice I give to others who have been hit. It isn't easy. It requires patience. And you need all the help you can get from friends. But it can be done. --- ...

Episode 7.24 -- MGM Grand Breach, Social Engineering, and how to protect yourself

October 13, 2023 16:38 - 48 minutes - 44.7 MB

The breach of the Las Vegas casinos in August has been the subject of a lot of news and commentary, but one thing that hasn't been discussed is what went on in the 15-minute call to the help desk. This interview with Ryan Healey-Ogden of Click Armor, and Bojan Simic of HYPR takes two completely different takes on that conversation and what can be done to prevent similar breaches. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/crucialtech/message Support this podcast: ...

Episode 7.23 - Defense against the AI Arts

September 29, 2023 13:32 - 46 minutes - 43.2 MB

The rise of generative AI products for commercial use is probably the fastest and most controversial of any technological advance in history. Governments are scrambling to understand and regulate its use. Billions are being invested in development. At the same time, the general public’s interest in the technology has waned and industry pioneer OpenAI announced a potential bankruptcy in 2024 unless significant new investment is forthcoming. But there is apparently no putting the genie back i...

Episode 7.22 -- Canada in the crosshairs for cyber attack

September 13, 2023 20:07 - 28 minutes - 26.7 MB

An August report from the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security said over the next two years, Canada is going to face significant threats from state-supported cyberattacks from Russia, China and North Korea. Canada? What the heck did Canada do to earn the ire of those folks. Canadians are arguably the nicest people in the world. So we called up our favorite Canadian “cybersleuth”, Ian Thornton-Trump, Cyjax’s CISO. to get the skinny. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify...

Episode 7.21 - Security is dependent on your access to the internet

September 09, 2023 15:58 - 28 minutes - 26.8 MB

Most people don't think about accessibility when it comes to the internet. We think of ramps and braille signs and audiobooks. But physical and developmental issues are much more complex than being able to get into a restaurant, especially when it comes to security. I talked with Justin Merhoff, chief of security for Deque (pronounced Dee-cue) Systems in Virginia about the need to make software and digital systems usable for all people, not just most people. And there is an action item for a...

Episode 7.20 -- There's a hard wind coming for cybersecurity companies

August 25, 2023 18:44 - 49 minutes - 45.6 MB

There are several reports indicating that the gravy train is about to come to a screeching halt in the cybersecurity industry. Fortune 1000 companies are freezing or cutting back on purchasing budgets for tools and services, which will hit the majority of private and start-up companies that have focused on that segment for 10 years. It's not all bad news. 80 percent of the potential market is all blue water, but it comprises small to medium businesses (SMB) that are not cyber-savvy, and are ...

Episode 7.19 - ETSI is doing the heavy lifting on AI protections

August 08, 2023 17:53 - 40 minutes - 37.2 MB

As generative AI (GAI) platforms become more commonplace, concern over their security issues is growing. As with any digital product, security relies on four arenas. User responsibility, corporate accountability, government regulation and industry standards. The first two are unreliable because users feel put out by having to protect themselves and corporations don’t like to spend money on security upfront. That leads to the third arena, legislation produced by people who don’t know the di...

Episode 7. 18--Ethics in an AI platform? Shut the front door!

July 31, 2023 16:06 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MB

One of the major points of contention in the SAG-Aftra/Writers Guild strike is over ownership of the image and voice of performers. Bob Iger said allowing actors to control the use of the image is disruptive to the current paradigm. But my conversation with Anna Bulakh of Repeecher revealed what the studios want is actually the disruption. Anna is the head of ethics for Respeecher. Yes, you heard that right. The HEAD OF ETHICS. Blows my mind. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcas...

Episode 7.17 - Generative AI as a defense against cyber attacks

July 21, 2023 19:52 - 21 minutes - 19.5 MB

Most of the discussion about generative AI is either focused on how good or bad it is, without ever discussing that it is JUST a tool. We talked with Anurag Gurtu, chief product officer of StrikeReady, about how the technology can enhance, not replace human involvement. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/crucialtech/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/crucialtech/support

July 07, 2023 20:51 - 16 minutes - 15.6 MB

It's hard to stay positive about the state of the world as long as you listen to everyone complain about it. One truth overrides that for me: Nothing is as bad as it seems nor as good as some people might tell you. The trick is to focus on the goal.

June 30, 2023 18:29 - 30 minutes - 27.8 MB

The team at Cyber Protection Magazine doesn't just look at cybersecurity technology. Sometimes we just argue about tech in general. Chief editor Lou Covey and co-founder Patrick Boch have been talking about the Apple Vision Pro headset since it was first announced and still don't agree on it, but we thought the discussion would help others make up their mind on whether to invest $3500 now or wait until the price comes down, So we recorded our last discussion. --- Send in a voice message...

Episode 7.14 -- Taking a step toward stopping AI fraud with Pindrop

June 16, 2023 18:13 - 22 minutes - 21.2 MB

Generative AI is BIG business. Maybe too big. In the rush to commercialize and cash in on billions of dollars of investment, Big Tech is letting security slip through the cracks again. Adversaries are weaponizing AI to supercharge phishing attacks, destabilize governments and blackmail innocent people.

This episode is our very first book review. I edited Data for All late last year and had my eyes open to both the massive amount of customer data collected by almost every corporation in the world, and the amount of digital waste produced by the effort. There is also a mini-review of Not with a Bug, but with a Sticker. These are two books that if you read them (and they are both easy reading) will make you sound like an expert in AI and data science in any gathering of people. That may not b...

Episode 7:11 -- Rohit Ghai on the promise and problem of generative AI

May 01, 2023 18:37 - 33 minutes - 31.3 MB

#GenerativeAI was front and center at the RSA Conference 2023 in San Francisco. Companies were either promoting it as a means of improving security or warning against it as a security weakness. It was even the keynote on Tuesday by RSA CEO Rohit Ghai, who took a neutral position that leaned positive on its potential. But as he spoke, for the most part, glowingly about the AI age we are entering there were some questions that arose. So we contacted him through his PR agency and he graciously...

Episode 7.10--What's up with Generative AI

April 21, 2023 17:01 - 33 minutes - 31 MB

You cannot spit without hitting a news story about generative AI (AKA ChatGPT, Bard, etc.). Some of the news is good, some of it bad, and all of it fairly confusing. ⁠Cyber Protection Magazine⁠ has been digging through the detritus and find what really is good or bad about it and today we continue that with an interview with a very smart man: Dr. James Norrie, a full-time professor in the Management, Marketing, and Entrepreneurship department at York University and founder of the cybersecuri...

TikTok has been in the news for quite a while, but at Cyber Protection Magazine, we are pretty sure we aren't getting the whole story, so we are starting a series of articles and podcasts to get to the bottom of the issue, starting with this episode. We talk to Ian Thornton-Trump -- raconteur, iconoclast, cyberwarrior, and CISO for Cyjax -- and he, as usual, has a lot to say. As you listen you will find that the real problem is not in the app, but in ourselves... and in bad algorithm design...

Episode 7.7 -- Sextortion is a thing. How big a thing is questionable. But it is scummy

March 30, 2023 18:41 - 18 minutes - 17.4 MB

“Sextortion” is a popular theme in media and the news, but it may or may not be a big deal. No one can really come up with a consensus about what it is and how widespread it is. It’s even difficult to pin down whether it is a crime. We talked with Ken Kuglin from Digital Forensics Corporation, a cybersecurity firm in Ohio, about how to deal with the attacks and their free services to educate people about how to avoid or deal with sextortion. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters...

Episode 7.6 -- Axiado seeks to crowd source a "data lake" for comprehensive cyb ersecurity

March 12, 2023 05:52 - 23 minutes - 22 MB

Cybersecurity has a healthier and older relationship with artificial intelligence (AI) than pretty much any other industry niche.  That’s because the information available on cyber threats is better vetted than 90 percent of what is fed into ChatGPT and the Google and Microsoft versions of generative AI.  But putting that data to use in security is not that easy… yet. Cyber Protection Magazine has been tasing with companies for several weeks as we study the constructive uses of AI in securi...
