CWP #16 - Securitisation

Feeling a bit meh? Don't worry, so are we. Bec and Vic shoot the breeze about "doing the cyberz" in lockdown, and how sometimes it's important to channel Linda Carter and Sheena Easton. There's also inevitable discussion of ransomware, everywhere.

Vic and Bec talk to Prof. Danny Dresner about a new approach to building critical thinking superpowers. WARNING: contains references to 70s television and cultural artefacts.

Vic and Bec welcome Stu @cybersecstu of The Many Hats Club to the lockdown studio, to talk all things Open Source Intelligence (OSINT).

Vic and Becky discuss examples of securitisation theory from recent weeks, while having at home fun playing Across the Nation, the game no one is talking about. WARNING: may contain rusty nails.

One for the fans. Vic tries to recover after an unfortunate few minutes as a dalek. Bec and Jess, meanwhile, are consummate professionals.

Don't Panic! It's the Working From Home edition. Bec and Vic speak to Jess Barker about COVID-19 scams and misinformation, fear and those who seek to play on it, the security and well-being aspects of working from home, and how it feels to be Boris Johnson.

Becky and Vic try to keep themselves amused while NOT BEING AT RSA. We cover some of the more diverting cyber issues of recent weeks, including facial recognition, responding to very public breaches, and rogue pet feeders; and we discuss security theory vs security practice, and learning on the job.

Bec and Vic have more fun than they should in the company of infosec rock star Rik Ferguson. Prepare for ransomware, operational technology attacks, and being an ally in infosec. All served with a side order of cheesy peas, seitan dippers, and our new gameshow "Huawei or not Huawei?"

Bec and Vic welcome Emily Overton, aka RMGirl_UK, to discuss records management and its relation to cybersecurity, privacy and all the rest.

WARNING: NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE WHO STILL BELIEVE IN SANTA, OR THOSE WHO ARE PARTICULARLY DEVOTED TO BIG BIRD. Bec and Vic talk Bletchley Park, and consumer IoT safety - that is, how to buy smart toys and other connected devices and still stay safe and secure.
