  The Cybersecurity Evangelist: Ep 15 - Happy New Cyber Habits 2022!

  11/1/2022

  29:58

  This first TCE episode of 2022 (and first video - on Spotify) includes a few gentle and some not-so-gentle reminders on cybersecurity best practices and practices for better cyber hygiene. I start with a few cybersecurity controls for businesses to buckle down on this year, including identifying assets, vetting vulnerabilities, and pursuing more potent password policies. Then, I actually persist on the password point with some pontification about our predilection for problematic passwords and propose pointers for a more polished password posture. While there’s probably nothing new in this episode, I hope it serves as a gentle nudge to promote better cyber hygiene habits – not just resolutions for 2022, but positive habits to develop for all-time toward a more cyber secure you! I also evangelize for a new CISA resource - the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog. Other resource mentioned in this episode: https://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/password-checklist

  57:07

  In the latest episode of Nerd Out, this is a very special two parter. In the first part, the nerdies (Bridget and Joe) talk about the fallout from the Houston Astropark disaster ranging from the considerations that go into the event planning, and whether there should be a blame game. And then they look at how threat actors may use this event for future threat planning (note the Hostile Events Attack Cycle) before turning their attention to the latest National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin release and what it could mean for the holidays. In part two, Dave welcomes in Tamara Herold and goes a little deeper into the Houston incident and what it could mean for events moving forward.  Some references brought up in the podcast: Example of Crowd wave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgpdmAtbhbE Crowd Dynamics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmqsc7srIfY and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Txrs4ssiAz0 Roger Federer saves kid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RymfiBXKuMQ 2018 Concert in Italy: https://celebrityaccess.com/2018/12/08/all-ages-concert-stampede-in-italy-leaves-at-least-6-dead/ Dave Pounder is a Senior Risk Analyst for Gate.

  The Risk Roundtable: EP 24. Are you Living in the Physical World?

  2/11/2021

  44:21

  In the latest Risk Roundtable, Andy, Dave and Jen ponder whether or not we live in the physical world or if a little time off took Jen to a whole new dimension. Kicking off with another acronym soup month, the team looks at Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience Month and the downstream impacts that can affect organizations who fail to incorporate for critical infrastructure into their preparedness plans. Then roundtable talked about the recent warning of terrorist capabilities to strike the U.S. as well as whether organizations are better prepared today to address a crisis than they were pre-COVID. In the process, the team came up with a new term - "Preparedness Calculus" - and whether organizations are evaluating events and factoring that into their preparedness process. The discussions wrapped up with Andy's three questions involving some favorite fall themes - warm clothing, turkey, and the Lion's losing. But before signing off, Dave had to talk about his enjoyment for Dune, but did he show some hypocratic tendencies?

  Nerd Out Security Panel Discussion: EP 18. Dave Solo?! Talking Recent Events and Preparedness

  19/10/2021

  30:57

  In the most recent episode of Nerd out, and as accurately described by Ron Burgundy it could be a horrible news story but Dave goes solo to talk about the recent events. These include the Norway Bow and Arrow attack, the murder of a British Member of Parliament, and two of the more recent insider threat attacks and how organizations can learn from these events and improve their security posture. Dave then goes a little pop culture to talk about his three favorite security movies and shows. He also uses these references to talk about how organizations can build and nuture their own intelligence analysts and the value they can bring to an organizations. Rough transitions aside and some help from Ron Burgundy and Syndrome aside the panel will return for next month as they look ahead to what should be a busy holiday season.
