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.

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/

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/

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/

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.

"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/

“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.

“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/

“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/

"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.

"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/

"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/

"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/

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/

“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/

“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/

“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/

“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/

“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.”

https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/cyber2020-china-usa-and-the-geopolitical-arena/

“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.

https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/cyber2020-striving-for-cyber-resilience/

"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/

"It requires persistence of professionalism. A recognising that even if I'm great at this, there are still ways for failure to happen, for it to rear its ugly head. You have to build an ever-increasing base of readiness to deal with things going wrong, readiness for failure."

In this week's special ISF Podcast, Colonel Chris Hadfield, decorated astronaut, engineer and pilot, sits down with ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin to discuss his desire to become an astronaut, the need for constant retraining and self-assessment, preparing to fail, achieving goals against the odds, the speed of technology and much more.

https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/colonel-chris-hadfield-an-astronauts-guide-to-managing-risk/

"Threat Horizon is there to try to identify upcoming threats so that we are forewarned and forearmed. And what the ISF has always done with that Threat Horizon is try to pull out issues, yes, at the basic security level, but also then say, what does this actually mean from a business standpoint? And what does a business, an organization need to do in order to avoid some of those threats, mitigate some of those risks?"
 
In today's ISF Podcast, we're bringing you a conversation with journalist Nicholas Witchell and ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin. In this wide-ranging conversation, Steve will share his insights on the role of cyber in society and its impact on individuals and the future outlook.

"Reputation is everything. If you lose some money, then that's bad, it's worse if you lose personal data, people's personal data, and then they're subject to cyber attacks. That's really bad. But you can make restitution for that. If you lose your reputation, you've lost everything."

In this week's ISF Podcast, James Arroyo OBE, Director of the Ditchley Foundation, sits down with ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin to discuss growing Geo-strategic tensions, recognising reputation as an organisations crown jewels and much more.

https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/dr-mary-aiken-cyberpsychology-and-the-impact-of-technology-on-human-behaviour/

"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.

https://www.securityforum.org/videos-podcasts/jay-edelson-data-privacy-the-people-of-illinois-vs-facebook/

"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/

“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/

“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/

“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.
