ISF Podcast

"It isn't just about technology. The human piece has a key role to play in securing our environment, and so yes, for me, the Board has to be setting an example, has to be really at the top of it's game in demonstrating leadership." In the latest ISF Podcast, we present the second of two episodes focusing on the role of the Board in cybersecurity. ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin will be discussing how the Board can address the skills shortage, as well as the evolution of the Board's role as cybersecurity further integrates into all levels of the business. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-embedding-cyber-hygiene-into-the-organisation/

"Why is it not enough for an organization to hire a CISO and have that person report to the board periodically? Why is that not enough due diligence?" In the latest ISF Podcast, we present the first of two episodes focusing on the role of the Board in cybersecurity. ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin will be discussing how often CISOs should be meeting with the Board and how CISOs can be more effective in communicating and in meeting the security needs of the business. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-bridging-the-gap-between-the-ciso-and-the-board/

“Nobody is immune from attack, especially as these attacks are getting increasingly sophisticated. You have the spearphishing attacks, which are very, very highly targeted at very specific individuals. Those emails look like they're coming from friends, from professional colleagues, and emails are not the only vector. So the attacker can throw things at us from many different directions. And we've got to be cognizant of all of those.” In the second Podcast of this two-part series, VS Subrahmanian, Professor of Computer Science at Dartmouth College, discusses the risks posed by the Internet of Things, cybersecurity awareness for the general public, and more. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-vs-subrahmanian-cyber-security-and-the-individual/

“But over the last, I would say 15 years, what's become increasingly clear is that AI, artificial intelligence, is going to play a huge role both on the defensive side and on the offensive side. So, over the next few years, we're going to see people increasingly use AI to attack systems” In the first of this two-part series, VS Subrahmanian, Professor of Computer Science at Dartmouth College, discusses both the threats and benefits of AI on cybersecurity with Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-vs-subrahmanian-ai-security-threat-or-benefit/

“You can have the best security implementations in the world, but if your users are not trained, and they click on the link, you're going to be in trouble” In this episode of the ISF Podcast with Jon Fisher, former FBI agent and current Managing Director for Lifars, and ISF MD Steve Durbin, we will be discussing how to improve employee education in cybersecurity awareness and the best way to run a tabletop exercise.  https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-jon-fisher-think-before-you-click/

“Depending on your industry, you may be targeted by a different set of actors with different tactics, and I think as the CISO or as a security practitioner, you need to know what is targeting you and you need to stay apprised of the threats that are out there and how you can help defend against them.” In the first of this two-part series, Jon Fisher, Managing Director at Lifars and a former FBI agent discusses current and future cyber threats and cooperating with law enforcement with Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF.  https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-jon-fisher-law-enforcement-and-business-collaboration/

"I think we've really seen the concept of a SOC grow and evolve over the past 10 years or so," says Emma Bickerstaffe, Senior Research Analyst at the Information Security Forum. As your business and the threat landscape change, how do you keep pace with your security operations centre (SOC)?    Emma Bickerstaffe, Senior Research Analyst, ISF and Jamie Cowper, Product Marketing Manager at IBM Security, join the podcast for a discussion about building and enhancing a SOC, or "the eyes and ears of an organisation."  They cover business drivers for improving a SOC; perspectives on internal, external, and hybrid models; and the five core capabilities of a SOC. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-emma-bickerstaffe-the-evolving-security-operations-centre/
