ISF Podcast

“Technology has changed the world in which we live. Old norms are changing and it's clear that the next industrial revolution will not only be entirely technology-driven, but technology dependent. In this week’s podcast, we will be bringing you the first in a series of episodes focusing on Forecast 2020: The Global Security Threat Outlook. Over this series, ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin will be discussing the top global security threats that businesses will face in 2020 or in shorthand, things that will keep you up at night.  This episode will see Steve explore the race to develop strategically important next-generation technology. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/cyber2020-the-race-for-technology-dominance/

“It showed that the risk was really unacceptable because you couldn't afford to lose a whole department. The impact on patient care would be fairly disastrous.” In this week’s ISF Podcast, Christopher Frenz, AVP of Information Security for Interfaith Medical Centre, sat down with Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, to discuss how and why Interfaith implemented a zero-trust network security model, tips for getting business leaders on board with cybersecurity plans, overcoming the challenges of working in an environment with legacy devices, and much more. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/chris-frenz-the-zero-trust-network-security-model/

“A new approach is need, one that helps organisations to understand and manage psychological vulnerabilities and adopts technology and controls designed with human behaviour in mind. And we’ve called that human-centred security.” In the last episode of the Information Security Forum’s Human-Centred Security podcast series we took a deep dive into how human vulnerabilities are exploited, but this episode sees Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, discuss how to manage those human vulnerabilities.  Throughout this series, Steve Durbin joined Tavia Gilbert to explore how human vulnerabilities, whether triggered through work pressure or by a malicious attacker, can lead to errors that significantly impact an organisation's reputation or even put lives at risk. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/human-centred-security-managing-human-vulnerabilities/

“The methods of psychological manipulation used by attackers have not just moved online since humans entered the digital era, but today's attack techniques are more sophisticated, cost-effective and expansive, allowing attackers to effectively target individuals or to attack on a considerably larger scale.” In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, explores how psychological vulnerabilities present attackers with opportunities to influence and exploit humans for their own advantage. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/human-centred-security-exploiting-human-vulnerabilities/

“We are seeing, the EU being an important leader in trying to advocate for consumers' rights, to some degree for employees' rights, although I wouldn't say that that's super strong. I would like to see students going through more data science training so that they have better data literacy and are better able to advocate for themselves out in the world about what can and cannot be done.” In this ISF podcast, Laura Norén, VP of Privacy and Trust at Obsidian Security sat down with Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, to discuss data privacy for employees, whether AI is suited for cybersecurity, and more. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/laura-noren-the-crusade-to-protect-employees-data/

“By identifying the fundamental vulnerabilities in humans and understanding how psychology works and what triggers risky behaviour, organisations can begin to understand why their employees might make errors and then begin managing that risk more effectively” In the second part of our human-centred security series of podcasts, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, discusses how do identify a variety of human vulnerabilities that arise in day-to-day life and in the information security sector. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/human-centred-security-the-human-vulnerabilities/

“Not long ago it was generally seen as a bad thing. Now we’re having clients say, ‘we want somebody who’s been through a breach’.” In this ISF Podcast, Managing Director Steve Durbin is joined by Egon Zehnder consultant Will Houston to discuss the skills shortage, the effect of a breach on a CISO’s value and employability, and more. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/will-houston-the-effect-of-a-breach-on-a-cisos-value/

The latest ISF Podcast will bring the first in a series of episodes focusing on human-centred security. In this episode, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, will discuss what the insider threat looks like and how to manage it. “Employees and negligence are the leading causes of security incidents but remain the least reported issue. The explosion of digital devices creates real challenges for organisations of all sizes. The majority consider themselves vulnerable to insider threats and most include insider threats in their top three security concerns” https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-human-centred-security-the-insider-threat/

"Steve, given the speed of change in cyber, do you believe that a CEO should be encouraging innovative, out-of-the-box thinking from their CIO or CISO?" In today's ISF Podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF, will be discussing the importance of emotional intelligence for CISOs, accepting the inevitability of security breaches and learning from those breaches. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-innovating-your-cybersecurity/

"I think that when we look at cybersecurity today, it isn't just a technology issue. It is much bigger than that. Cyber is pretty much integrated across all of an enterprise. There isn't anything that most departments in a business won't get up to that doesn't touch cyber in some way.  In this week's ISF Podcast, Steve Durbin, Managaing Director, ISF, discusses not only the risks involved of leaving cybersecurity squarely on the shoulders of the CIO, but also how cybersecurity can enable growth and innovation. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-leaving-the-weight-of-the-world-on-the-cios-shoulder/
