In recent decades we have seen the number of computers and mobile devices multiply greatly making phishing scams incredibly lucrative. Phishing attempts are often the first step to more invasive and damaging attacks in which individual and corporate data is compromised. Join Andrew, Mike, and special guest Scott Leister, Director of Technology from DTC, as they discuss the many clever ways cybercriminals may disguise correspondence as coming from familiar and reputable entities in the attempt to access private information.

He helped coordinate several symposiums and events focusing on the topic. He is now an independent contractor and volunteers his time to bringing cybersecurity awareness, education, mitigation, and response to the ag and food supply chain (and other special projects). His focus is on mitigating emerging threats. In addition to his experience in cybersecurity, he has a deep understanding of banking/finance, risk management, and other professional service sectors related to food, agriculture, and climate.
