"If you want to catch a cybercrook, you need to think like one." But how do you actually go about thinking like a cybercriminal? What's the actual process?

Check out this post and this post for the discussions that are the basis of our conversation on this week’s episode co-hosted by me, David Spark (@dspark), the producer of CISO Series, and Geoff Belknap (@geoffbelknap), CISO, LinkedIn.

Our guest is Brian Brushwood (@shwood), creator of Scam School and World's Greatest Con. Plus he's launched multiple channels with millions of subscribers and multiple number one comedy albums. Plus, he's a touring magician. He's our first non-cyber professional guest, but he is so perfect for this episode.
