UNSECURITY: Information Security Podcast

Brad and Evan are joined by very special guests this week in a unique episode of the UNSECURITY Podcast. Brad and Evan's wives joined the show to give an inside look at how working in the information security industry can have an impact on your life outside of work (for better or worse). After the interview, the guys break down some of the week's top news pieces, as usual. Give episode 16 a listen and let us know what you think!

Episode 15 starts out with a bang as Evan and Brad break down two incidents that they recently worked on, and another one that's on the way. They'll also go into detail about a Breach civil lawsuit OSINT, a visit with Lockton, keynoting a manufacturing event and— as always— break down some current events/news topics sweeping the industry.

Brad leads episode 14 with the help of Evan and M1ndFl4y, aka "Ben." M1ndFl4y is a social engineer at FRSecure, and brings with him fascinating stories about his ability to gain access to facilities and information that he's not permitted to. Brad and Evan discuss some of those with him, and then chat about how someone could get into social engineering or learn more about the field.

Evan and Brad are joined in episode 13 by Jim Nash, who is the assistant minority leader for the Minnesota House of Representatives and also a member of the FRSecure family. Naturally, the state of security in local government and in the state of Minnesota were major talking points this week. In addition, the guys chatted about incident response planning and current events like Apple's FaceTime bug. Give it a listen and let us know what you think!

In episode 12 of the UNSECURITY podcast, Brad and Evan take an in-depth look at the state of employment in the information security industry, including some ways people who are interested in the industry can break through. One example is FRSecure's CISSP Mentor Program, which they also discuss in this episode. Finally, Brad and Evan chat about the news circulating this week surrounding the cost of a cyber-attack, Google's GDPR fine, and hijacked Nests. As always, if you have questions, comments, or suggestions, please pass them along!unsecurity@protonmail.comfrsecure.com/cissp-mentor-program

With Evan back from his trip to Cancun writing his second book, it was a perfect time for the first face-to-face recording of the UNSECURITY Podcast. In our 11th episode, Brad and Evan discuss Evan's writing trip, the next release of the FISASCORE® risk assessment, and current news topics like the American military, a flaw in Cisco routers, and Apple's privacy evangelism. Thanks for following along each week. The feedback and listenership have been exciting! Remember, feel free to send questions or comments to unsecurity@protonmail.com.

Brad hosts another great UNSECURITY Podcast episode with Evan. This week, they discussed information security book writing, day-to-day security challenges, the new Modlishka 2FA proxy tool (hacking 2FA), El Chapo’s chats, Zurich claiming “act of war” while refusing to payout for NotPetya, and another third-party data breach. While Brad’s back home, Evan tries to make this podcast work from a Starbuck’s in Cancun. Everything goes fine for a while until a bunch of kids show up to play Fortnite. Entertaining as usual. Be sure to tune in next week, after Brad and Evan tackle the audio issues!

In this pre-holiday episode of the UNSECURITY podcast, Evan and Brad begin wrapping up 2018.
