The Cybersecurity Readiness Podcast Series

Research finds that there was a 44% increase in insider threat incidents across all types of organizations, and 56% of the reported incidents were due to negligence. Equally alarming is that the average annual cost to remediate a negligence incident was $6.6 million. Dr. Eric Lang, Ph.D., Director, Personnel and Security Research Center (PERSEREC), United States Department of Defense, draws upon his research to share some of the (science-based) commandments for understanding and countering insider threats. Emphasizing the criticality of human factors, Dr. Lang contends that "without individuals’ sincere commitments, the most extensive insider threat policies will fail."To access and download the entire podcast summary with discussion highlights -- https://www.dchatte.com/episode-50-countering-insider-threats-seven-science-based-commandments/Connect with Host Dr. Dave Chatterjee and Subscribe to the PodcastPlease subscribe to the podcast, so you don't miss any new episodes!

Significant fines in excess of $2 billion have been levied on organizations in the financial services sector for failing to capture, retain and supervise communications. This crackdown on non-compliant communications is the clearest indicator yet that regulators have lost patience with firms that still haven't addressed supervision and record-keeping risks that were exacerbated by the pandemic. In this episode, Garth Landers, Director of Global Product Marketing at Theta Lake, discusses how businesses can mitigate risks from unmonitored communication channels.To access and download the entire podcast summary with discussion highlights -https://www.dchatte.com/episode-49-mitigating-risks-from-unmonitored-communication-channels/Connect with Host Dr. Dave Chatterjee and Subscribe to the PodcastPlease subscribe to the podcast, so you don't miss any new episodes!

Traditional authentication methods are outdated and need many layers of code, which can take time and resources away from developer teams. If developments like FIDO2, WebAuthn, and passkeys are to be the cornerstones of a passwordless future, then every application (not just Apple, Google, and Microsoft) needs an easy way to adopt these methods and weave them into current user authentication flows. Slavik Markovich, Co-founder and CEO, Descope, discusses current and future authentication trends and the importance of building a low-code/no-code passwordless authentication solution for app developers.To access and download the entire podcast summary with discussion highlights --https://www.dchatte.com/episode-48-implementing-secure-and-fast-authentication-processes/Connect with Host Dr. Dave Chatterjee and Subscribe to the PodcastPlease subscribe to the podcast, so you don't miss any new episodes!

“While developed markets may today bear the brunt of cyber breaches, emerging markets are no less vulnerable. Their risks arise from weak processes and governance, the complexity of global supply chains, the need to remain low cost to attract investment, and the rapid adoption of technology without adequate cyber defenses.” Andre Keartland, Solutions Architect at Netsurit, Johannesburg, South Africa, speaks to these realities and offers guidance on managing cyber risks and implementing robust security solutions.To access and download the entire podcast summary with discussion highlights --https://www.dchatte.com/episode-46-the-challenges-and-best-practices-of-cyber-security-in-emerging-markets/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, Pamela Senegal, President, Piedmont Community College, shares several best practices, including having an information technology presence in each of the college-wide committees. I had the pleasure of meeting Pamela at a cybersecurity symposium organized by the World View Program at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Charle LaMonica, the Director of UNC's World View Program, also shared her thoughts and perspectives during this very engaging discussion. Driven by the belief that students and instructors must actively engage in cybersecurity governance discussions, she and her team organized a conference to create such knowledge-sharing opportunities.

Clinical psychologist Beatrice Cadet discusses the challenges of social engineering and the importance of considering human behavior in cybersecurity solutions. She emphasizes the need for pragmatic approaches to avoid falling for emotional manipulation and highlights the necessity of ongoing awareness and training to combat social engineering effectively.

In this episode, Patricia Muoio, Ph.D., Partner at SineWave Ventures and Former Chief of Trusted Systems Research Group, National Security Agency, sheds light on the cybersecurity technology landscape and emphasizes the need to develop technologies that are attack agnostic. Some of the questions driving the discussion include: a) what progress has been made in the development and use of cybersecurity technologies? b) What does it mean to be attack agnostic? c) how near or far are we from taking the burden off people trying to protect themselves from different cyber attacks? and d) the ideal government and industry partnership model to develop innovative solutions.

Threat modeling is an intrinsic part of information security governance and needs to be done well. However, research finds that many organizations don't do it well, some are pretty haphazard or chaotic in their approach. In this episode, Marcos Lira, Lead Solutions Engineer at Halo Security, sheds light on how to do threat modeling the right way. The key questions driving the discussion were: a) what is the scope and purpose of threat modeling? b) what have people and organizations been getting wrong about threat modeling? c) what is the right way of doing threat modeling? and d) what is the future of threat modeling?
