ISF Podcast

Legislation by its nature is government and regulator driven, resulting in a move towards national regulation at a time when cross border collaboration is needed. Organizations will struggle to keep abreast of such developments which may also impact business models which many have taken for granted. This will be a particular challenge to cloud implementations where understanding the location of cloud data has been an oversight. In the second episode in this four-part series which explores the greatest cyber threats in 2019, Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF discusses the impact of legislation on organisations, and the challenges regulators and legislators face trying to keep pace with cybersecurity. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-the-impact-of-legislation-in-2019/

As the threat landscape evolves, digitalisation is an ongoing challenge for governments and politicians, making it increasingly difficult to secure networks, personal information and critical infrastructure. Governments must keep abreast of developments in cyber security and ensure that best practices are communicated to businesses, and awareness is raised amongst the public. In the first of two episodes Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF talks with Dr Reinhard Brandl, a member of the German Parliament, about the broad challenges digitalisation raises for governments. Together they also discuss the effectiveness of the EU GDPR, and the future of legislation in cybersecurity and the role large organisations can play in this. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-governments-and-the-challenge-of-rapid-digitalisation/

Cybercrime is now a market that is growing and increasing in sophistication, worth $600 billion in 2018 and affecting 2.7 million of us globally on a daily basis. With cybercriminals becoming increasingly strategic and patient in their approach, organisations cannot afford to ignore the increasing threats posed by such operations.  In the first episode of this four-part series which explores the emerging cyber threats in 2019, Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF discusses how the increasing sophistication of cybercrime and ransomware will impact businesses, and what the board can do to understand such threats and be proactive to protect their organisation. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-the-increasing-sophistication-of-cybercrime-ransomware/

Will 2019 see cyber attacks come in isolation, or in combinations? A question organisations should think about as we see cyber space becoming increasingly connected and technology developments increasing in pace and scale.  In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF shares his predictions for the top 4 emerging cyber threats for 2019 – increased sophistication of cybercrime and ransomware, the impact of legislation, supply chain assurance and smart devices challenge data integrity. Steve also explains why getting back to basics in information security and risk management is paramount in this climate. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-threat-horizon-2019/

Attacks from nation-states, where organisations are at risk are increasingly appearing on the threat horizon. As extortion is predicted to become one of the most common forms of cybercrime, it is imperative for the board to create a solid eco system between executives and individuals to conduct technical operations. Without a clear vision in place, CISOs will lack the transparency needed to overcome innovative attacks and face more barriers in the future.  In the second part of this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director at the ISF talks with Ondrej Krehel, CEO and founder of LIFARS LLC. They discuss the impact of the escalation of cyber-attacks, the challenges this presents for CISOs, and how the c-suite and board need to prepare to counteract them effectively. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-the-need-for-a-clear-vision/

It is an unavoidable fact that businesses and organisations’ sensitive information will be breached at some stage in the future. When a network has been compromised, proper investigation and remediation to the incident is vital, as the impact can be significant in the digital world. There are various steps that need to be taken to respond and recover from a data breach, much like the processes that are observed in a medical centre. Those steps create a tedious, disruptive process that may take more than one cyber life cycle to heal. In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director at the ISF talks with Ondrej Krehel, CEO and founder of LIFARS LLC, an international cybersecurity and digital forensics firm specialising in remediation and resolution services. Here they discuss how data breaches are inevitable to businesses, and how organisations can prepare to effectively retaliate in the new world filled with cyber warfare. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-a-digital-specialist-on-data-breaches/

Virtual reality has a great deal of potential for the betterment of society - but as with all new technologies, we should be aware of ethical concerns that could emerge as social problems further down the line. With this in mind, there is a need for increased legislation and guidelines to ensure both businesses and consumers don’t get caught up in the novelty of virtual reality.  In the second part of this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director at the ISF talks with Emory Craig, an educator and leading expert in virtual, augmented and mixed reality. Here they discuss the dystopian elements to virtual reality, its challenges and implications, but also the steps needed to manage its legislation. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/virtual-reality-and-a-new-code-of-ethics/

Virtual, augmented and mixed reality has made tremendous progress over the last 4 years. Since then the landscape has dramatically shifted - consumers now experience these new technologies through devices such as smartphones and smart headsets, taking them into a whole new era. Organisations within industries such as film and medical have started implementing virtual reality to transform the way they do business.  In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director at the ISF talks with Emory Craig, an educator and leading expert in virtual, augmented and mixed reality. He is the Director of eLearning at the College of New Rochelle, and co-founder and partner at Digital Bodies. Here they discuss successful implementations of virtual, augmented and mixed reality, and the fascinating facts behind this new technology. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/a-futurists-insights-on-virtual-augmented-reality/

The traditional way of doing business is transforming, with businesses now required to adopt and embed cyber technology into their organisation. The shift in the way we do business isn’t just down to technology, but also cultural change – such cultural shifts include increasing business agility, shared information rather than centralised data, collaboration rather than a traditional triangle type hierarchy, and empowering one’s team to make decisions rather than exerting control over your talent.  In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director ISF discusses the 21st century workforce, and how businesses can attract and retain in an era of gig economy and short-term employee contracts, and what skill-sets are needed within a business to keep pace with the speed of technological developments. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-doing-business-the-cyber-way/

Cyber-attacks are steadily increasing year on year. Organisations are constantly under threat with over two-thirds experiencing data breaches in 2017. Consequently, cyber security preparedness and resiliency are becoming increasingly important to the protection of an organisation’s information. One way of improving the ability to handle cyber-attacks is by running cyber security exercises.  In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director at the ISF, discusses how organisations should approach running internal cybersecurity exercises to support breach identification, prevention and response. This autumn, the ISF's 'Delivering an Effective Cyber Security Exercise' report was released to ISF Members which provides a detailed overview of the most suitable cybersecurity exercises and how to deploy them effectively. The public release for the overview of the report is November 15. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-cyber-security-exercises/
