We’ve been encouraged to embrace IoT for its convenience and its integration into our daily lives. But what happens when the Internet of Things bites back? In today’s ISF podcast, ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin and podcast host Tavia Gilbert brings you the third episode in a series focusing on Threat Horizon 2022: When digital and physical worlds collide. In the series so far, Steve has explored threats that business enterprises will face between now and 2022, the consumer backlash to data harvesting and behavioural analytics, and the enormous threat of deepfakes. In today’s episode, Steve and Tavia look more in-depth at the threat posed by the Internet of Forgotten Things. How the cheap, easy-to-produce IoT devices of today, many of which were never intended to be patched or updated, might become the security risks of tomorrow as well as the complicated legal regulations regarding the production and use of these devices.https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/threat-horizon-2022-internet-of-forgotten-things/

“Highly connected ecosystems of digital devices will enable organisations to harvest, repurpose, and indeed sell sensitive behavioural data about consumers without their consent, with attackers having the potential to then target and compromise poorly secured systems and databases at will.” In today’s ISF Podcast, we bring you the second episode in a series focusing on Threat Horizon 2022: Digital and Physical World’s collide. In the previous episode, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, and Tavia Gilbert, ISF Podcast Host, gave a broad overview of the threats that business enterprises will face between now and 2022, as well as advice for proactive leaders. In today’s episode, Steve dives in deeper into two previously mentioned topics, starting with the consumer backlash against behavioural analytics, before moving onto the fascinating yet terrifying practice of deepfakes. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/threat-horizon-2022-behavioural-analytics-and-deepfakes/

“So the real challenge I think that we have to face up to here is that organizations are simply not going to be able to disentangle the digital from the physical. And they will be forced to respond to this growing blend of threats from new technologies, people, and indeed nature.” We are heading into an era, unlike anything we've ever seen before. Digital and physical worlds are on an irreversible collision course. By 2022 organisations are not just going to be newly challenged, but in fact, plunged into crisis as ruthless attackers exploit weaknesses in immature technologies and take advantage of what is really an unprepared workforce. At the same time, natural forces will ravage infrastructure and all of this creates a perfect storm of trouble inside and outside the enterprise. In today’s ISF podcast, we are bringing you the first in a series of episodes focusing on Threat Horizon 2022: When Digital and Physical Worlds Collide. ISF Managing Director, Steve Durbin and ISF podcast host Tavia Gilbert will be discussing the broad threat overview before diving more deeply into a couple of areas that demand more attention. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/threat-horizon-2022-digital-and-physical-worlds-collide/

“I think there are two different concerns here, right? There's an infrastructure issue, period, regardless of the pandemic. And then, of course, there's the additional pressure and increased precautions needed to address this current crisis that we're in.” In today’s ISF Podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF is joined by Sherina Edwards, Partner at Quarles and Brady LLP. Sherina is an energy-professional with extensive regulatory and public policy experience. In this thought-provoking conversation, Steve and Sherina will be discussing the pressure on critical infrastructures due to the massive shift in working from home, the resulting cybersecurity concerns, and how regulatory challenges are evolving, even by the hour. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/sherina-edwards-the-growing-pressure-of-critical-infrastructures/

"I do think actually that one of the positive outcomes from COVID-19 will be that people will perhaps realise that the human element, the natural element, has a probably more significant role to play in society than technology. Technology should only ever be a tool. And I do wonder what the world will be like post-COVID-19." In this week's podcast, ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin and ISF Podcast host Tavia Gilbert have an open, wide-ranging conversation about the current global crisis, from the alarming to the hopeful. They discuss the increased threat of cyber attackers, privacy concerns with telemedicine and other home-working apps, whether technology is moving closer to a brave new world, and what we can learn from this moment in history. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/technology-in-a-brave-new-world/

"The reason why it was so hard to get a settlement of this size wasn't because Facebook was worried that if they lost $550 million, it would hurt them. They can pay the 550. What they were worried about was setting some sort of precedent where now this is the price for privacy violations, and that's what we're fighting so hard for" In this episode, ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin speaks with Jay Edelson, a Chicago attorney with Edelson PC whose work has earned him the title of “Cybersecurity Trailblazer” from the National Law Journal. His firm recently settled a $550 million privacy suit against Facebook on behalf of the people of Illinois. Jay and Steve discuss that suit, the current privacy and cybersecurity legislation landscape, the influence of tech companies, facial recognition and privacy concerns with new and emerging technologies. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/jay-edelson-data-privacy-the-people-of-illinois-vs-facebook/

"Everything is connected, from the protocols that we use to advise and educate parents in terms of how their children interact with technology, all the way through to hard-core cyber criminal activity. It's connected." In this ISF Podcast, Cyberpsychologist Dr Mary Aiken sits down with ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin to discuss the difference between cyberspace and real life, whether or not humans are prepared for the cyber challenges we face, the impact of technology on young children, and a fascinating potential solution to the skills shortage that could also curb cybercrime rates. Mary specialises in the impact of technology on human behaviour, and has written extensively on issues relating to the intersection between humankind and technology – or as she describes it “where humans and technology collide.” https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/dr-mary-aiken-cyberpsychology-and-the-impact-of-technology-on-human-behaviour/

"Then there's what I call the day after tomorrow.
