In this episode of Cybersecurity Today, brought to you by Meter, we review key events and stories from the past few weeks. Join host Jim along with experts Tammy Harper from Flair, Laura Payne from White Tuque, and David Shipley from Beauceron Security as they discuss major cybersecurity events that unfolded over the holidays, including the MongoDB vulnerability 'Mongo Bleed', the compromises at Rainbow Six Siege, and the ethical implications of hacktivism. The panel also explores the complexities of AI in cybersecurity, the vulnerability of critical infrastructure, and the dichotomy between ethical hacking and cybercrime in the industry. As always, we emphasize the intersection of cybersecurity with people, processes, and our daily lives.
