The Fraud Boxer Podcast

On Today's episode I sit down with a former colleague of mine Heath Taylor where he uses his extensive background in information security and cybersecurity from his time in the US Navy and at Live Nation Ticketmaster. He stresses the need for organizations to adopt a proactive approach to identify and respond to potential threats. He also underscores the complexity of operations at large organizations and the significance of cybersecurity within an organization. Throughout the conversation, the significance of finding the right people for a company is highlighted, with a specific focus on clear communication and an analytical mindset in the field of cybersecurity. We also discuss our approach to effective leadership and career progression. Communication emerges as a central theme, with a particular focus on its importance in articulating cybersecurity issues and potential impacts on business operations. The discussion touches on the challenges associated with security posture and inventory management within organizations. We also delve into the complexities of building versus buying cybersecurity solutions, addressing issues such as fake accounts, account takeovers, compromised websites, shared passwords, and the need for improved security measures. Never being satisfied, we even touch on security awareness, secure applications, supply chain attacks, and the need for bug bounty programs as essential components of a robust cybersecurity strategy. Collaboration and partnerships among teams are emphasized as a means to prevent fraudulent activity.    Heath Taylor: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heath-taylor-87519037/   "Heath Taylor is a cybersecurity leader with a wealth of experience in threat intelligence and a proven track record of managing all aspects of cybersecurity for large enterprises.

Our boy Alexander is back for another round! This one we just went completely impromptu and just talked about all the fraud things that popped into our head.  What are we seeing lately like fraud coming from a specific credit union in the midwest, what people are doing with multiple account fraud, and so much more!  We might put more of these out with other bros (and gals) and share some less formal interviews that we just learn and ask questions on in real time!  I hope you enjoy!    Alexander Hall: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexander-hall-ddc/ https://disputedefenseconsulting.com/

This one has been 3 months in the making and finally making its audio debut!  Recorded LIVE at MRC 2023 I sat down with Dave Senci from Mastercard who I have worked with for years. Lately he's been working on their blockchain and crypto offerings as the Vice President of Blockchain and Digital Asset. We dive into what the terms actually mean and what they are as well as some of the actual real world use cases for things like Blockchains and NTFs and how the whole crypto "thing" is more than just coins.  This was a fascinating episode for me to record and still felt like I came away with a better understanding of all these things overall.
