ISF Podcast

"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/

“One of the criticisms around all this is that the cost of creating a cyber-resilient organisation might on the surface appear excessive.

“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.

“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/
