The Cybersecurity Readiness Podcast Series

In this episode, Aaron Painter, CEO at Nametag, joins me in discussing the Deepfake fraud phenomenon and how organizations and individuals should protect themselves from such scams. A recent study conducted by finance software provider Medius finds that over 53% of businesses in the U.S. and U.K. have been targets of financial scams powered by “deepfake” technology, with 43% falling victim to such attacks. 85% of the finance professionals polled view such scams as an “existential” threat to their organization’s financial security. In the United States, families lose an average of $11,000 in each fake kidnapping scam. According to data from the Federal Trade Commission, Americans lost $2.6 billion last year in imposter scams.To access and download the entire podcast summary with discussion highlights --https://www.dchatte.com/episode-77-stopping-deepfake-threats-protecting-organizations-through-identity-verification/Latest Articles and Press Release on The Cybersecurity Readiness Podcast Series:Cybersecurity Readiness Podcast by Dr. Dave Chatterjee Reaches 10,000 Downloads Globally, Business Insider/Markets Insider, Dec 10, 2024.Dr. Dave Chatterjee Hosts Global Podcast Series on Cyber Readiness, Marketers Media, Dec 12, 2024.Connect with Host Dr. Dave Chatterjee and Subscribe to the PodcastPlease subscribe to the podcast so you don't miss any new episodes!

IBM recently reported a 71% year-over-year increase in attacks using valid credentials. This continued use of stolen credentials is also evident through ongoing public incidents like the string of attacks targeting Snowflake's customers that resulted in breaches at AT&T and Advanced Auto Parts. Lynsey Wolf, Team Lead and Insider Threat Analyst at DTEX Systems believes that users' psychological and behavioral traits are being overlooked when it comes to defending against credential misuse. In this episode, we discuss how best to mitigate such threats using a proactive approach to insider risk management by focusing on user behavior and indicators rather than just incident response.To access and download the entire podcast summary with discussion highlights -- https://www.dchatte.com/episode-76-from-reactive-to-proactive-how-behavioral-psychology-is-transforming-enterprise-security/Latest Press Release:Cybersecurity Readiness Podcast by Dr. Dave Chatterjee Reaches 10,000 Downloads Globally, Business Insider/Markets Insider, Dec 10, 2024.Press Release — Dr. Dave Chatterjee Hosts Global Podcast Series on Cyber Readiness, Marketers Media, Dec 12, 2024.Connect with Host Dr. Dave Chatterjee and Subscribe to the PodcastPlease subscribe to the podcast so you don't miss any new episodes!

Accelerating into the cloud without caution often brings complexities that can cause more harm than good. Gartner has noted that cloud configuration errors cause 95% of cybersecurity breaches. With the rapid pace of cloud adoption, less time is spent ensuring systems are built and operated effectively with proper cyber hygiene. In this episode, Dale Hoak, Director of Information Security at RegScale, joins me in discussing cloud compliance-related challenges and best practices. Here are some terrific Dale Hoak one-liners:"Compliance is essentially where fun went to die.""Nobody steals your work. So, we need to use automation to do the work.""Compliance is a key driver of trust in our world."To access and download the entire podcast summary with discussion highlights -- https://www.dchatte.com/episode-75-compliance-in-the-cloud-challenges-and-best-practices/Connect with Host Dr. Dave Chatterjee and Subscribe to the PodcastPlease subscribe to the podcast so you don't miss any new episodes!

In this episode, Mike Manrod, the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) of Grand Canyon Education, and Ori Eisen, the Founder and CEO of Trusona, joined me to discuss how best to reduce the risks of social engineering attacks on IT support and help desk personnel. This episode was motivated by the major cyber attack that brought MGM Resorts International's operations to a screeching halt. It was a social engineering attack where the attackers gained super administrator privileges by providing the MGM Help Desk with basic employee information.To access and download the entire podcast summary with discussion highlights --https://www.dchatte.com/episode-74-reducing-the-risk-of-social-engineering-to-exploit-it-help-desk/Connect with Host Dr. Dave Chatterjee and Subscribe to the PodcastPlease subscribe to the podcast, so you don't miss any new episodes!

As machine learning algorithms continue to evolve, Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4 are gaining popularity. While these models hold great promise in revolutionizing various functions and industries—ranging from content generation and customer service to research and development—they also come with their own set of risks and ethical concerns. In this episode, Rohan Sathe, Co-founder & CTO/Head of R&D at Nightfall.ai, and I review the LLM-related risks and how best to mitigate them.To access and download the entire podcast summary with discussion highlights -- https://www.dchatte.com/episode-72-large-language-model-llm-risks-and-mitigation-strategies/Connect with Host Dr. Dave Chatterjee and Subscribe to the PodcastPlease subscribe to the podcast, so you don't miss any new episodes!

The importance of maintaining uninterrupted services cannot be overemphasized, especially in light of the recent global IT outage fiasco. With the increasing dependence on cloud-based services, uninterrupted connectivity is essential to maintaining business continuity. Since identity providers control access to an organization's application and data, any downtime can shut down mission-critical operations. It was great to have Eric Olden, Co-Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of Strata Identity, share his thoughts and perspectives on this critical topic.To access and download the entire podcast summary with discussion highlights -- https://www.dchatte.com/episode-71-identity-continuity-in-multi-cloud-environments/Connect with Host Dr. Dave Chatterjee and Subscribe to the PodcastPlease subscribe to the podcast, so you don't miss any new episodes!

The recent breach of the Change Healthcare platform serves as a strong reminder that the healthcare sector remains extremely vulnerable to different types of attacks. In late February, a ransomware gang known as Black Cat claimed responsibility for hacking Change Healthcare, a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group. The intruders disrupted operations and stole up to four terabytes of data, including personal information, payment details, insurance records, and other sensitive information. It is also reported that a ransom payment of $22 million was made. What is even more concerning is that Change Healthcare is being extorted again by another ransomware group. Incidents such as this jeopardize the survival of countless healthcare providers nationwide due to delays in patient care and delays in making reimbursements. This hack generated massive economic and legal shockwaves across the US healthcare industry, from major industry players to small-town, rural physician practices. In this episode, Amer Deeba, CEO and Co-founder at Normalyze joins me to review the state of cyber security and maturity of the healthcare industry and talk about proactive defense strategies to fortify sensitive healthcare data.To access and download the entire podcast summary with discussion highlights -- https://www.dchatte.com/episode-68-fortifying-healthcare-data-proactive-defense-strategies/Connect with Host Dr. Dave Chatterjee and Subscribe to the PodcastPlease subscribe to the podcast, so you don't miss any new episodes!
