March 16, 2021 18:30 - 33 minutes - 31 MBThe human resources department within any organization is well-positioned to feel the pulse and monitor a company's culture—teams, divisions, and the organization as a whole. Because of this, it could be the ideal ally to the InfoSec team. But is it? Let's find out. Consider the lifecycle of an employee. The initial company awareness, gaining familiarity with its brand, exploring its job opportunities, moving on to the next role, all the way to retirement—or perhaps even getting fired. Of c...

March 16, 2021 15:00 - 44 minutes - 40.4 MBIn this episode of Tech Done Different, we hear from compliance expert AJ Yawn. Perhaps the most surprising takeaway from this dynamic chat with a guru in compliance? Security and compliance are not the same thing. Yet, done properly, compliance can be a powerful driver for security. Listen in to learn: why compliance reports should get better over time (and why a "clean report" is neither realistic nor a good thing) why cursory, scan-based "penetration testing" (meaning, really vulnerab...

March 11, 2021 01:27 - 40 minutes - 37.3 MB“What drives innovation” is a fundamental question in our society — any society, in any historical time. The capacity to make changes by introducing new ideas, methods, and products is one trait that makes humans unique on this planet. But, again, what drives it? The answer may — actually, most certainly will — vary depending on when, where, and of whom you ask that same question. It also does so even more when you apply those thoughts to different knowledge, industries, and cultures. So, l...

March 09, 2021 18:05 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MBIt's 2021. How is Vulnerability Management still such a disaster in the enterprise? Shouldn't we have had a grip on this, say, 10 years+ ago?! Seriously.

March 08, 2021 17:27 - 49 minutes - 45 MBHumans are life-long learners — well, most of them anyway. Hackers are certainly the curious and "challenge accepted!" kind. In fact, learning as they go may even be considered a lifestyle. Instead of taking an exam at a university, they dive into a problem to solve, breaking things apart to see how they work and see how they can make them work better than they were originally designed/intended. Eventually, their exam papers become a bug submission via responsible disclosure. The reward? Not...

One organization — Key Resources — has been looking at this problem for quite some time, and their President, Cynthia Overby, joined us for a conversation. Many critical infrastructure organizations such as financial institutions, insur...
Book | The Quest For The Master Algorithm — How The Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World | A Conversation With Pedro Domingos
March 03, 2021 16:00 - 40 minutes - 37.5 MBDid we invent computers, robots, and A.I. because we are fundamentally lazy? It may look like it, but that is not the technological driver. On the opposite side, it has to do with doing more, faster, more effectively, and going above and beyond our human capabilities. This same thing can be said of a carved stone used as a tool by our ancestors, the wheel, electricity, engines, airplanes, and of the most advanced technologies of today and tomorrow. Most of us do not realize it, but at the ...

March 02, 2021 15:14 - 50 minutes - 46.7 MBForget about stereotypes of hackers being nefarious masterminds. Hackers are dynamic, young individuals who come from all walks of life — diversity is a big plus for this community — and so it is for the cybercriminals, but they actually are nefarious masterminds. Countless people are building the applications and systems we use at work and at home. It's a safe assumption they are smart people. Do hackers need to be as smart or smarter than them? We are glad you're back for another episode...

February 23, 2021 22:03 - 43 minutes - 40.1 MBIf a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Yes and no, it depends on who you ask. In our case, the answer is a solid FOR SURE. Especially once we consider the squirrels that live in the said forest — the criminal and the ethical ones. Listen up. In the cybersecurity community it is not uncommon to use the sentence: whether you are aware of it or not, you're already running a vulnerability disclosure program. But who is running it? Is it the cybercrimi...

Unfortunately, as humans, we all have preconceived notions and perspectives. That's actually a good thing in some cases. However, many humans hold conscious and unconscious bias. Many refuse to remove those filters and...

February 03, 2021 16:00 - 40 minutes - 36.6 MBAs with most laws, the first question that comes to mind when technology is involved is: are they keeping pace with it? However, there is a fundamental follow-up question: how are these laws interpreted in relation to how new technologies shape business and society? The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), enacted by the United States Congress in 1986, is one such law. A lot has changed since then: the technologies used in every aspect of our lives access to these same technologies used b...

Listen up, and maybe you will decide on your own.
