Cybersecurity Simplified

ChatGPT is the talk of the town, dominating tech conversations around the world. But like any AI-powered tool, it brings with it the good, the bad and the ugly. Is ChatGPT a blessing or a threat? A boon for business or the bane of our existence? A cybersecurity tool or a hacker’s weapon?

The guest on today’s podcast is Aaron Martin, Overwatch Senior Security Architect. Aaron has many years of experience as a software architect and security analyst and is here to share his insights and predictions about ChatGPT’s impact on cybersecurity. Stay tuned as we talk to Aaron about the ultimate “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” of chatbots.

Veteran Security Practitioner Rick Howard shares how Alan Turing’s ideas and Thomas Bayes' Theorem hold the key to how organizations should forecast risk. Most organizations default to heat maps relying on a low, medium, and high model. But they aren’t reliable. What if we said you’re better off providing risk metrics, that offer ballpark answers and not so much precision? Is it possible to forecast complex things without a lot of data?

It isn’t lost to us here at Cybersecurity Simplified that many of you listen and watch because you have a keen interest in cybersecurity work... you want to make that career leap from wherever you are at or pivot for those of you already in IT or in a technical role.

We applaud you because you are taking steps and not just waiting for it to happen. This episode is for you! Our two guests today are security practitioners who took different paths to where they are at today.

We have Aaron Martin, High Wire Security Architect, and Nick Burnett, High Wire Tier 2 SOC Analyst.

Welcome to episode 32 of Cybersecurity Simplified.

What do cybersecurity and ranching have in common? A bit of wrangling, a lot of bull and CISO Allan Alford, host of the Cyber Ranch podcast.

Allan’s 20-year cybersecurity journey includes serving as CISO four different times in three industries and working with companies from 5 to 50,000 employees. He’s currently focused on getting ACTUAL value from your tech stack and adding a human perspective to cybersecurity.

So, saddle up and settle in. In this episode of Cybersecurity Simplified, we’ll ride the cyber trails wherever Allan’s experience takes us.

If it isn't enough that hospitals have been overrun with Covid patients during the pandemic, they also have been targeted by cyber criminals. Many have even been forced to cancel vital medical services because their systems, software or networks are disabled. It's more important than ever for healthcare organizations to keep their networks healthy. In this episode of Cybersecurity Simplified, we will get a prescription for good cyber hygiene from our special guest, Sunila Thelma Levi, a healthcare technologies executive at Commonspirit Health.
