Regardless of where you stand on the political spectrum, there can be no denying that the U.S. is now facing threats entirely different from anything we’ve seen in the first 230 years of our democracy.

From Edward Snowden, to Chelsea Manning, to Julian Assange, to - well, all of Russia - the cyber-threats are real, and they are only increasing in scale and complexity.

Yet our legislators appear to be woefully ignorant of how these attacks work, how to defend against them and, most prominently, how to prevent them.

In this episode of the InSecurity Podcast, Lee Mangold sits down with Matt Stephenson and Jack McHugh to discuss what part government needs to play in the overall scheme of cybersecurity.

Lee spent 14 years working as a government contractor developing training systems and cybersecurity technologies. Now he is a Candidate for District 28 in the Florida State House of Representatives.

Fortnite, and bitcoin, and dollars, OH MY! What makes real money REAL?

What if I told you a man named Matthew Mellon owned a cache of Ripple that at one point was valued at over $1 BILLION USD, and was still worth over $500 MILLION at the time of his unexpected death. Mellon claimed to have kept the digital keys to his Ripple wallet locked in cold storage in other people's names at various locations around the U.S.

What does the family of the deceased do in a situation like this? What does anyone do with the notion of hundreds of millions of dollars in value that is locked away and utterly inaccessible? And what the heck is Ripple anyway?

In this episode of the InSecurity Podcast, Steve Snyder joins Matt Stephenson and Edward Preston for a look into the fact, fiction and myth of cryptocurrencies. And just to make things a bit weirder, we’re also going to talk about weapon-skins that are trading for as much as $50,000 inside games. Noodle on that fact for a minute!

What if I told you that the industry average is 15-50 bugs per 1000 lines of code? You may not care if you’re creating a homebrewed script, but what if you are in charge of launching the SpaceX rocket?

What if you are Lewis Hamilton driving for Mercedes Formula 1 and a software glitch causes you to lose a three second lead at the Australian Grand Prix? What if you are a general in charge of military forces using tools that include the same software I can buy on Amazon or Ali Baba?

With so much of our world now driven by software, everything is on the line: money, property, even lives. Perfection is never going to be an option, but it is fair to say that we need to be as close to perfect as possible.

In this episode of the InSecurity Podcast, host Matt Stephenson is joined by Katie Moussouris to talk about bugs and bug bounties and the impact they can have on security and privacy. Katie is an industry legend perhaps best known for creating Microsoft’s first Bug Bounty program in 2013.

Katie breaks it all down: who needs a bug bounty? Is a bug bounty program even appropriate for a company? There are risks inherent in every question and every answer.

Welcome to “Get In: The Connected Vehicle Podcast from BlackBerry.” This series will explore the possibilities created by -- and technologies behind -- the revolution in global transportation we are witnessing today.

In the first episode, BlackBerry Editorial Director Steve Kovsky interviews AWS Worldwide Business Lead Nick Lefler. AWS is not only the world's largest provider of cloud computing services, it is also BlackBerry’s leading partner in the BlackBerry IVY™ initiative, a key enabler for providing the underlying infrastructure for superlative digital vehicle experiences.

What if I told you that there might be companies out there who deliberately spoof data breaches in order to blackmail prospective “customers” into paying for their breach remediation services?

What if I told you that, after failing to be a good little victim to such a scam, LabMD began hearing from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) about its security and technology practices? Would you believe me if I said that, in a battle that is now in its seventeenth year, our guest has attempted the impossible and stood up to both the crooks and the FTC?

Rather than settle a case that he knew was wrong, our guest refused to live in the world he was given. He has battled to change that world and keep his company’s name and his own name from being steamrolled by the bureaucracy of a government agency that may not really know what they are doing when it comes to data privacy and security.

Joining Matt Stephenson on the InSecurity podcast are Mike Daugherty and Malcolm Harkins.

Mike is the CEO of LabMD who refused to be the victim of a “Breach Mediation” company, which led to a decade-long battle with the Federal Trade Commission.

Malcolm is the Chief Security and Trust Officer at Cylance. He is not one to sit idly by and let the cybersecurity industry focus on profits over people.

Imagine what might happen when you get these two in a room together…
