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. That is until a cyber crisis occurs.” In this week’s podcast, we bring you the fifth and final episode in a series focusing on forecast 2020: the global security threat outlook. Throughout the series, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, has discussed the race for technology dominance, third-party supply chains, IoT and the Cloud, the growing risk of cybercrime as a business as well as the complexity of the geopolitical arena and technological confrontation between the US and China. In today’s final episode, Steve once again sat down with Tavia Gilbert to discuss why striving for cyber resilience is a key component of a cyber risk management strategy and why the investment and planning is worth it. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/cyber2020-striving-for-cyber-resilience/

“The geopolitical area is set to remain fairly complex. I would also say sort of turbulent and fragile as the US and China battle it out for global dominance” In this week’s podcast, we bring you the fourth episode in a series focusing on Forecast 2020: the global security threat outlook. Throughout the series, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, has discussed the race for technology dominance, third-party supply chains, IoT and the Cloud as well as the growing risk of cybercrime as a business.

“Cybercrime is certainly an entrepreneurial growth business. There’s no getting away from it and the arrest rate is very low. So, unfortunately, cybercrime does pay”In this week’s podcast, we bring you the third episode in a series focusing on Forecast 2020: the global security threat outlook. Throughout the series, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, has discussed the race for technology dominance as well as third-party supply chains, IoT and the Cloud.In this episode, Steve sat down with Tavia Gilbert to explore the growing risk of Cybercrime, the threat from malicious insiders, the resource pool available to criminal organisations and how concerned we should be.https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/cyber2020-entrepreneurial-cybercrime/

“So much of our critical data is now held in the cloud. Whether we put it there as individuals or organisations have put it there on our behalf. And that opens even more opportunity for cybercriminals.”In this week’s podcast, we will be bringing the second episode in a series focusing on Forecast 2020: The Global Security Threat Outlook. In the previous episode, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF spoke about China, the USA, and the race for technology dominance.In today’s episode, Steve sat down with Tavia Gilbert to explore the cyber threats around third-party supply chains, IoT, and the Cloud.https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/cyber2020-third-party-iot-and-the-cloud/

“Technology has changed the world in which we live. Old norms are changing and it's clear that the next industrial revolution will not only be entirely technology-driven, but technology dependent.In this week’s podcast, we will be bringing you the first in a series of episodes focusing on Forecast 2020: The Global Security Threat Outlook. Over this series, ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin will be discussing the top global security threats that businesses will face in 2020 or in shorthand, things that will keep you up at night.

“It showed that the risk was really unacceptable because you couldn't afford to lose a whole department. The impact on patient care would be fairly disastrous.” In this week’s ISF Podcast, Christopher Frenz, AVP of Information Security for Interfaith Medical Centre, sat down with Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, to discuss how and why Interfaith implemented a zero-trust network security model, tips for getting business leaders on board with cybersecurity plans, overcoming the challenges of working in an environment with legacy devices, and much more. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/chris-frenz-the-zero-trust-network-security-model/

“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. And we’ve called that human-centred security.”In the last episode of the Information Security Forum’s Human-Centred Security podcast series we took a deep dive into how human vulnerabilities are exploited, but this episode sees Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, discuss how to manage those human vulnerabilities. Throughout this series, Steve Durbin joined Tavia Gilbert to explore how human vulnerabilities, whether triggered through work pressure or by a malicious attacker, can lead to errors that significantly impact an organisation's reputation or even put lives at risk.https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/human-centred-security-managing-human-vulnerabilities/

“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/

“By identifying the fundamental vulnerabilities in humans and understanding how psychology works and what triggers risky behaviour, organisations can begin to understand why their employees might make errors and then begin managing that risk more effectively”In the second part of our human-centred security series of podcasts, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, discusses how do identify a variety of human vulnerabilities that arise in day-to-day life and in the information security sector.https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/human-centred-security-the-human-vulnerabilities/

“Not long ago it was generally seen as a bad thing. Now we’re having clients say, ‘we want somebody who’s been through a breach’.” In this ISF Podcast, Managing Director Steve Durbin is joined by Egon Zehnder consultant Will Houston to discuss the skills shortage, the effect of a breach on a CISO’s value and employability, and more. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/will-houston-the-effect-of-a-breach-on-a-cisos-value/

The latest ISF Podcast will bring the first in a series of episodes focusing on human-centred security. In this episode, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, will discuss what the insider threat looks like and how to manage it. “Employees and negligence are the leading causes of security incidents but remain the least reported issue. The explosion of digital devices creates real challenges for organisations of all sizes. The majority consider themselves vulnerable to insider threats and most include insider threats in their top three security concerns” https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-human-centred-security-the-insider-threat/

"Steve, given the speed of change in cyber, do you believe that a CEO should be encouraging innovative, out-of-the-box thinking from their CIO or CISO?" In today's ISF Podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF, will be discussing the importance of emotional intelligence for CISOs, accepting the inevitability of security breaches and learning from those breaches. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-innovating-your-cybersecurity/

"I think that when we look at cybersecurity today, it isn't just a technology issue. It is much bigger than that. Cyber is pretty much integrated across all of an enterprise. There isn't anything that most departments in a business won't get up to that doesn't touch cyber in some way. In this week's ISF Podcast, Steve Durbin, Managaing Director, ISF, discusses not only the risks involved of leaving cybersecurity squarely on the shoulders of the CIO, but also how cybersecurity can enable growth and innovation.https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-leaving-the-weight-of-the-world-on-the-cios-shoulder/

"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/

Competing in the digital marketplace will become increasingly difficult, as threat to businesses grow in speed and precision: Software and application weaknesses will continue to be leaked online with ever-decreasing time to fix them. The break-up of tech giants will plunge those reliant on their products and services into disarray and organisations rushing to deliver ambitious digital transformations will expose their vulnerabilities instead of cementing their resilience. In the final podcast of the series, Steve Durbin Managing Director, ISF will discuss the third theme of our Threat Horizon 2021 series: Digital Competitors Rip Up the Rulebook. Steve will offer insights into the threats organisations face and the steps CISO’s can take to guard against them. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-threat-horizon-2021-digital-competitors-rip-up-the-rulebook/

The race to develop strategically important, next-generation technologies is laying the foundation for nation state-backed espionage where intellectual property (IP) is targeted. Cloud services will become a prime target for sabotage and drones will become both the weapon and target of choice as attackers turn their attention skywards. The question is, how can organisations, who are increasingly reliant on the cloud, prepare for this environment? In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF will discuss the second theme of our Threat Horizon 2021 series: How the Digital Cold war engulfs business. Steve offers insights into upcoming cyber threats and offers business leaders key advice to best prepare. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-threat-horizon-2021-digital-cold-war-engulfs-business/

Today, digital connectivity is essential in everyday life, and this is only set to increase over the next two years as we see technology such as the Internet of things (IoT) playing a vital role in business success. By 2021, vast webs of intelligent devices, combined with increased speeds, automation and digitisation will bring new possibilities within reach of businesses and consumers. However, increasingly complex digital connectivity will increase the number of attack surfaces, amplifying existing dangers and creating new ones. In the second episode of our Threat Horizon podcast series, Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF will discuss digital connectivity and the potential vulnerabilities that this will expose. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-threat-horizon-2021-digital-connectivity-exposes-hidden-danger/

By 2021 the world will be heavily digitised and connected. The race to develop next generation technologies will enable innovative, digital business models, yet this will leave society critically dependent on technology to function. Coupled with heightened global mistrust and rising geopolitical tensions, this will lead to cyber threats that are relentless, targeted and disruptive. In the first episode of our four part Threat Horizon 2021 series, Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF will identify the key threats that will effect organisations over the next 2 years and how business leaders and their teams can best prepare. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-threat-horizon-2021-overview/

Nation-state cyber-attacks have increasingly occupied news headlines in the past few years from alleged Russian electoral interference to accusations of Iranian backed cyber-terrorist groups and Chinese theft of high-value intellectual property. In the final episode of this two-part series, Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF, speaks with journalist Mike Eckel about the threats posed by nation-state-led cybercrime. Is it the government’s responsibility to protect you? Is your organisation a target? How do security teams convey the appropriate level of risk to their board? Should companies be allowed to hack back? In this podcast, we delve into both preparation and measures business leaders can implement to defend against nation-state cyber-attacks. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-the-enemy-is-the-state-cybersecurity-and-nation-state-attacks/

The power and influence of Russian cyber actors continue to rise, but where did this ability for cyber terrorism and espionage originate? In the first episode of this two-part series, Steve Durbin, Managing Director ISF, speaks with journalist and Senior Washington correspondent for Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty Mike Eckel on the origins of Russian cyber terrorism. Together they discuss how the power and influence of Russian cyber actors have grown and the end game for Russian sponsored threat actors. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-the-origins-of-russian-cyber-terrorism/

"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."

Even after many devastating examples of the impact of cyber-attacks on business, cyber is still drastically underestimated. Organisations must implement a successful security programme, with the board who are held accountable and have a thorough understanding of the risks to prepare for and the risks they are willing to accept. In the final episode of this three-part series, Jeff Engle, Veteran of US Army Special Operations Commands and Vice President of Federal for United Data technologies, discusses with Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF the responsibility business leaders have when it comes to security and why they must be proactive in their approach.https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-holding-the-board-accountable-for-security/

In the second episode of this three-part series, Jeff Engle, Veteran of US Army Special Operations Commands and Vice President of Federal for United Data technologies talks with Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF about the importance of effective communication and knowing your audience when collaborating with enterprises successfully to combat cyber threats. Jeff and Steve discuss the need for security professionals to receive broader training so that they can communicate with the board on technical issues, in a language the C-suite can understand. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-how-to-communicate-with-the-board/

People can either be your first line of defence, or your weakest link – it is up to organisational leadership and how they approach risk management to determine which one they are. In the first episode of this three-part series, Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF talks with Jeff Engle, Veteran of US Army Special Operations Commands and Vice President of Federal for United Data technologies, about his background as a military veteran and a private sector cybersecurity leader.

In the second episode of this series, former US most-wanted cybercriminal Brett Johnson, the ‘Original Internet Godfather’, speaks with Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF about his career as a cybercriminal. Brett offers an insider account, from his first scam he committed on eBay, to becoming a part of a worldwide cyber-criminal organisation. Together, Steve and Brett discuss how the collaborative nature of cybercriminals has allowed them to evade law enforcement and commit crimes successfully.https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-the-life-of-a-cybercriminal/

The global supply chain is increasingly complex, diverse and hyper-connected so that gaining assurance of its security, safety and reliability is becoming more myth than reality. The recent rise in data breaches highlights these supply chain vulnerabilities and third parties are being heavily criticised for both inadequate preparation and protection. In the final episode in this four-part series which explores the greatest cyber threats in 2019, Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF discusses the inherent risks to supply chains and how organisations can better manage data sharing with third parties to minimise the risk of a data breach. https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-the-myth-of-supply-chain-assurance/

In 2017, Cybercrime was an estimated $600 billion industry affecting approximately 2.8 million victims a day. The rise in ransomware attacks (an estimated 350%) and trend in spearfishing aimed at senior executives, is a further testament to the increasing sophistication, diligence and patience of today’s cybercriminals. In this first of two episodes, Former US most-wanted cybercriminal Brett Johnson, the ‘Original Internet Godfather’, speaks with Steve Durbin, Managing Director, ISF about the most pressing issues presented by cybercrime. Together they discuss the threat of non-financially motivated attacks, what makes organisations attractive targets and the benefits of training us to think like criminals.https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/isf-podcast-inside-the-mind-of-todays-cybercriminals/

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/
