John Strand is the owner of Black Hills Information Security, and he has over 2 decades of experience in cybersecurity. In this podcast, David and Brad from Samurai interview John and share stories and anecdotes about their dealings with organisations across all verticals over the years.

When you start planning against a hack, you need to make sure that you can identify your risks. When you strip down risk to its core, it boils to threats and vulnerabilities. Don’t be blinded by one aspect of the danger and assume that the same threat will be repeated. An attacker will never follow just one type of methodology. The threat actors will use any technique at their disposal!

The red team instigates the trouble when it comes to penetration testing. Red teaming is quite aggressive - a nuclear version of a pen test if you will. The red team goes the whole hog, and all vulnerabilities are exposed. Blue teaming is more defensive, and it is all about evaluating the detection/prevention tools you have put in place to protect yourself against an attack. Purple teaming is a joint red and blue test. Brad Thomas probes Dr. David Day to give us the scoop on red, blue, and purple teaming in this podcast. Listen in.

Cybersecurity relates back to the basic tenets of confidentiality, integrity and availability of data. Confidentiality is inextricably linked to passwords protection, integrity requires for information to be delivered without interception or alteration and it is crucial that against all odds, business systems remain available and robust against attacks. Brad Thomas explores all these concepts, and much more in this cybersecurity podcast with Dr David Day. Listen in for more insights.
