"The reason why it was so hard to get a settlement of this size wasn't because Facebook was worried that if they lost $550 million, it would hurt them. They can pay the 550. What they were worried about was setting some sort of precedent where now this is the price for privacy violations, and that's what we're fighting so hard for" In this episode, ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin speaks with Jay Edelson, a Chicago attorney with Edelson PC whose work has earned him the title of “Cybersecurity Trailblazer” from the National Law Journal. His firm recently settled a $550 million privacy suit against Facebook on behalf of the people of Illinois.  Jay and Steve discuss that suit, the current privacy and cybersecurity legislation landscape, the influence of tech companies, facial recognition and privacy concerns with new and emerging technologies. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/jay-edelson-data-privacy-the-people-of-illinois-vs-facebook/

"Everything is connected, from the protocols that we use to advise and educate parents in terms of how their children interact with technology, all the way through to hard-core cyber criminal activity. It's connected." In this ISF Podcast, Cyberpsychologist Dr Mary Aiken sits down with ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin to discuss the difference between cyberspace and real life, whether or not humans are prepared for the cyber challenges we face, the impact of technology on young children, and a fascinating potential solution to the skills shortage that could also curb cybercrime rates. Mary specialises in the impact of technology on human behaviour, and has written extensively on issues relating to the intersection between humankind and technology – or as she describes it “where humans and technology collide.” https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/dr-mary-aiken-cyberpsychology-and-the-impact-of-technology-on-human-behaviour/

"I think it's about understanding how you combat the remote element, how you provide advice and guidance to people about what they should be doing, how they should be working." The COVID-19 outbreak has turned many regular office goers and commuters into home workers. They have been thrust into an environment that can pose novel risks for both staff and their employers.  In today's Podcast, ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin will be discussing the best practices for working from home, a topic with global relevance as workforces are suddenly adjusting to working with greater independence in greater isolation and hopefully with greater interconnectedness than ever before. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/covid-19-top-security-tips-for-working-from-home/

"Reputation is everything. If you lose some money, then that's bad, it's worse if you lose personal data, people's personal data, and then they're subject to cyber attacks. That's really bad. But you can make restitution for that. If you lose your reputation, you've lost everything." In this week's ISF Podcast, James Arroyo OBE, Director of the Ditchley Foundation, sits down with ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin to discuss growing Geo-strategic tensions, recognising reputation as an organisations crown jewels and much more.  https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/james-arroyo-cyber-2025-this-time-its-personal/

"Threat Horizon is there to try to identify upcoming threats so that we are forewarned and forearmed. And what the ISF has always done with that Threat Horizon is try to pull out issues, yes, at the basic security level, but also then say, what does this actually mean from a business standpoint? And what does a business, an organization need to do in order to avoid some of those threats, mitigate some of those risks?"   In today's ISF Podcast, we're bringing you a conversation with journalist Nicholas Witchell and ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin. In this wide-ranging conversation, Steve will share his insights on the role of cyber in society and its impact on individuals and the future outlook.  https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/nicholas-witchell-steve-durbin-cyber-in-society/

"It requires persistence of professionalism. A recognising that even if I'm great at this, there are still ways for failure to happen, for it to rear its ugly head. You have to build an ever-increasing base of readiness to deal with things going wrong, readiness for failure." In this week's special ISF Podcast, Colonel Chris Hadfield, decorated astronaut, engineer and pilot, sits down with ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin to discuss his desire to become an astronaut, the need for constant retraining and self-assessment, preparing to fail, achieving goals against the odds, the speed of technology and much more. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/colonel-chris-hadfield-an-astronauts-guide-to-managing-risk/

"In today's modern way of doing business, when cyber breaches and information security make or break an organisation, there is an increased need for company structure and better use of technology."  Organisations focus most of their efforts on meeting strategic and financial targets. However, the board and security leaders need to be aware that this is when cybercriminals are most likely strike – leading to reputational damage and disruption to the financial bottom line. When a security breach happens, it is the CISO who shoulders the blame. In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, discusses how cyberspace is not just the responsibility of one or two individuals – but the whole organisation. When it comes to security best practices, collaboration between security leaders and the board is the key to success. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/the-ceo-vs-the-ciso-the-security-breach-blame-game/
