VENDOR SPOTLIGHT:KnowBe4
In another of our sub-series where we focus on a particular vendor in our portfolio, we welcome Javvad Malik, a Security Awareness Advocate from KnowBe4.
It's a given that the majority of successful cybersecurity breaches start with a social engineering attack; the majority of them being a Phishing email. So, how do we help people avoid being caught out? Training, testing, training, testing, training, repeat....
But: not all users are alike and not all user-awareness training schemes are alike and so a carefully designed and deployed program is the only way to really make a difference.
Javvad does a great job of trying to use more analogies than Richard in the pursuit of bringing the KnowBe4 capabilities to life, but it's safe to say: this is the podcast for you if you ever needed help to justify a program of awareness training in your organisation!

A.I. - Actual Ignorance?

This week we talk about the concept of 'SOC Burnout' and the need for companies to recognise the condition and support the analysts.
Tenuously related to SOC burnout, we examine (destroy!), the 'Artificial Intelligence' myth that Cybersecurity vendors peddle on a daily basis.
It's machine-learning, people!
Open invitation: Any Cybersecurity vendor that would like to come on the show and explain how their product is 'intelligent' - we would love to have you on!

REcurring REvil!

In this final episode of the season, we cover two of the most notable cyber incidents in recent weeks; PrintNightmare and the Kaseya breach. As a result, we lament the problem of the 'soggy middle' taking the 'tickbox' approach to cybersecurity.
Also Vlad and Richard go through several 'triggered' moments trying once again to get security leaders and marketeers to drop the cheese, engage the business, and get the cybersecurity agenda on the board table before you become the next headline! We even go as far as telling you how to do it!
