ISF Podcast

Insider threats account for 54% off all breaches, and are found at all levels of an organisation, from top to bottom. Numerous factors are increasing organisations’ exposure to the threats posed by insiders, and technical controls are limited. To combat these threats, organisations must invest in a deeper understanding of trust, and work to improve the trustworthiness of all insiders.  The insider threat has only intensified as people have become increasingly mobile and hyper-connected, and with technology continuously advancing, the risks posed by insiders are only set to increase.  In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF discusses the most common types of insider threats, as well as how organisations need to take a holistic approach to tackle insider threats that include both technology and people when embedding security into their organisation’s DNA. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-who-to-your-business/

The frequency of ransomware attacks on businesses has significantly grown over the past two years, with the number of detections increasing by nearly 2000%. As the space becomes more attractive and lucrative to cyber criminals, the threat of ransomware is only set to rise in 2018 as attackers get more creative, sophisticated and persistent, and attacks from named ransomware such as WannaCry and BadRabbit become ever more prevalent.  With so many end points accessible to malware, organisations must be more vigilant than ever to protect themselves against this growing threat.  In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF addresses what organisations can do to prepare and protect against ransomware, and how focusing on the basics, as well as embedding security awareness within the organisation can help prevent such attacks. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-rans-cyber-criminals/

The role of a CISO has evolved over the years’ and now requires someone who combines InfoSec capabilities with business requirements. They must be able to align cyber to business strategy, speaking both languages while developing reporting metrics that satisfies the board and promotes good cyber resilience across the business.

With the main industries in India comprising IT Services providers, banks and conglomerates such as Tata Group, Birla Group, Mahindra, and Reliance who all manage EU personal data – Indian organisations are determining how they can comply with the EU GDPR by May 2018. India aims to achieve 25 billion digital transactions in 2017 to 2018, so complying with the GDPR is going to have to be top of the business agenda.   In this podcast, Steve Durbin addresses some of the challenges that India will face and offers insights into best practice solutions to address the requirements of the EU GDPR. Steve also discusses how Indian organisations should not view the EU GDPR as a compliance burden, but as an opportunity for culture change across the business that will lead to tangible business benefits.

When we talk about the board and cyber security, we have moved away from the board doesn’t get it, to the board gets it, to the board doesn’t feel they are sufficiently briefed when a breach takes place. But is all of this evasive talk to avoid responsibility, or is there still a lack of communication between cybersecurity professionals and the board?  In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director ISF, offers insights into the specific actions the board needs to take to embed cybersecurity into business strategy. With the May 2018 deadline for the EU GDPR fast approaching, the board should be viewing upcoming legislation as an opportunity for cultural change, rather than a compliance burden.  https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-cybeions-that-matter/

The smartphone has become an extension of our work and our personal life – everyone expects to be able to access something with a click of the button.

As organisations become increasingly dependent on data, unscrupulous competitors and cyber criminals are using falsified information as a form of attack.

Steve discusses what has contributed to the growth of falsified information, how businesses should protect the integrity of their data and how they should work collaboratively with third parties to tackle the threat.  https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/falsification-hontegrity-of-data/

Many organisations with a footprint in Europe are still unclear if the GDPR applies to them, or if they have the right team and resources to address it. The GDPR will require a collaborative effort between businesses and third parties to ensure that all areas of the information life cycle are protected – a daunting project for security teams. In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director ISF, offers top tips and insights into the steps organisations must take to comply with the GDPR – to produce a security model of ‘privacy by design’. Fundamentally, organisations will need to know what data they are storing, how they are storing it and how they are protecting it – to show regulatory bodies that they have taken every possible step to preserve the integrity of customer data.
