Responding to cyber threat actors, with Bex Nitert, managing consultant digital forensics and incident response at ParaFlare

On this episode of Cyber Security Uncut, Bex Nitert, managing consultant digital forensics and incident response at ParaFlare joins hosts Major General (Ret’d) Marcus Thompson and Phil Tarrant to discuss Australia’s cyber threat response industry.

The podcast begins with a discussion between the hosts about recently passed legislation, dubbed the Magnitsky Act, which seeks to ban human rights abusers, cyber criminals and corrupt officials from entering Australia and giving the commonwealth the opportunity to seize assets.

The trio then discuss digital forensics and threat response operations, and how businesses need to be proactive about cyber security to ensure that business functions don’t suffer breaches.
The podcast then analyses the skills and requirements for future cyber professionals, including the “art versus science” of intelligence.

The trio wraps up by examining how professionals in the cyber industry are able to help build a more secure Australia by collaborating with law enforcement agencies, and discuss profiles of cyber crime actors.
