Cyber Security Weekly Podcast

In this episode Chris Cubbage speaks with the Hon Christian Porter MP, Australia’s Federal Attorney-General, at the opening of Australia’s fourth Joint Cyber Security Centre (JCSC) in Perth.  The new Perth centre, part of the Turnbull Government’s $47 million JCSC program is the first of its kind in the west. It offers critical support to Australia’s business community, particularly the west’s vast energy and resource sector.

We discuss the federal government’s approach to cyber security, both in the protection of government owned and industry infrastructure.

Christian Porter highlights the goal of the Perth JCSC, one of four operating in Australian capital cities, as being cooperative arrangement of government, led by the Australian Signals Directorate, or ASD, and a range of trade, commerce and enterprise.

Chris Cubbage also questions Christian Porter on regulatory approaches and the importance of balancing the legislation and cooperative approaches.

In this episode we speak with Geoff Plummer, Davcor Group’s Business Manager Technical Products and dive deep into Davcor’s twenty year journey from physical keys to cyber locking systems, in particular the CyberLock.

CyberLock is an electro-mechanical master key system, effectively combining software, electronic keys, electronic cylinders and communicators. The software can be run locally or in the cloud and just as importantly, the power for the whole system is a battery in the Bluetooth enabled key. As a consequence the system is secure and flexible.

If your security needs involve securing areas that are difficult, expensive or impossible to cable due to being in a difficult location or situated across a large geographical area, then you’ll enjoy this interview.

In this episode Chris Cubbage interviews Greg Fitzgerald, Chief Marketing Officer of JASK. Chris and Greg talk artificial intelligence, cloud, and big data in the company of planes, trains, and cutlery. It’s a great interview, and being in California, has some Hollywood-esque special effects.

JASK (https://jask.ai/) is the provider of the industry’s first Autonomous Security Operations Centre (ASOC) platform, designed to capture enterprise-wide alert linkages and create analyst workflow efficiency. The JASK Navigator, a visually-driven, contextually-rich investigation console provides SOC analysts a one-click path to situational attack awareness, multi-asset data ingestion; query flexibility and analyst team workflow support.

JASK takes in data from any monitoring security tool to help analysts understand if there’s a compromise within their organisation. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning to prioritise the massive amounts of data, JASK reduces the volume, but not the importance, to improve efficiency and effectiveness of cyber security by making it all manageable for the human analyst.

Enhancement to the platform allows two major elements, a one click discovery of a compromise, where a signal can be an alert or a combination of an alerts. Once the severity or ranking is done, JASK will create an ‘Insight’ for the SOC Analyst to review. Applications can provide up to 40 per cent improvement in the reduction of alerts and as the machine learns, JASK anticipates to get to 60 – 70 per cent.

JASK Navigator Console and Enhanced Team Workflow

JASK Navigator is an investigation console that equips analysts with an actionable view of JASK Insights. Investigations are streamlined and logical, offering SOC teams one-click access to better prioritised insights and faster paths to resolution.

To further support enterprise analyst workflows, JASK is also developing team support via customisable workflow queues within the ASOC platform. This allows the creation of user groups or teams in order to assign the triage of JASK Insights. The enhanced workflows allow teams to adjust the Insights stage, providing visibility into the overall status of all assigned tasks. JASK also allows analysts to assign and visualise alerts from existing security solutions by user, team and status.

Since launching the platform in July 2017, JASK’s vision remains on delivering an asset-independent, open platform that enables an autonomous workflow of what, where, why and how analysts should take action. With its latest enhancements, the JASK ASOC platform improves visibility through unique mapping of data to records linked across devices, users, networks, applications and almost any third-party data source.

Off to a strong start in 2018, JASK doubled its customer base in the first quarter of 2018, adding enterprises spanning higher education, financial services, healthcare and retail. Additionally, the company continues to support existing security operations workflows through partnerships and specific integrations with leading solutions in cybersecurity, including Cylance, Demisto, Carbon Black, Microsoft Active Directory, Splunk, ArcSight, among many more.

This interview with Jarrod Bassan, Practice Partner for Mobility & IoT Lead (Australia/NZ) for DXC Technology discusses the application of Augmented Reality (AR). DXC Technology formed in April 2017 from the merger of CSC and Hewlett Packard and retains technology interests in AR/VR, gamification, blockchain and Internet of Things.

Virtual Reality (VR) is an immersive technology and disconnects the person from real interaction. Augmented Reality (AR) is a display of information or audio whilst enabling interaction in the physical environment. The DXC case study on show at National Manufacturing Week concerns an excavator and how parts of the machine can be displayed in an augmented visualisation for damage and maintenance. The use of AR provides a level of insight that may not be otherwise readily available.

For headsets and hardware, there is a number of options based on the type of applications. The Daqri and Realware headsets are suitable for industrial use, such as being water and dust proof. Microsoft Hololens is suitable for indoor and training environments. Other hardware may need to be tethered, such as using the Windows MixedReality toolkit and attached to PCs. Each has different capabilities but of most importance is the information being displayed and how it is displayed.

Apple has also made a commitment to AR and sees this technology as the next wave of computing and on the scale in magnitude to that of the PC. At some point in the mid 2020s, AR will be the primary method of interacting with computers and devices.

In this interview, Chris Cubbage talks to Nigel Thompson, Vice President of Product Design at BlackBerry, and Darren Michael, Chief Information Officer of Patersons Securities.

BlackBerry, traditionally well known as a hardware company specifically with strengths in security, has successfully transitioned into a software company that secures all end-points and offers cybersecurity services. True to its core, the company is still strong in security, but now expanding into securing multiple and more often than not, third party, end points – such as Apple phones and tablets, motor vehicles, and even medical devices.

Patersons Securities, is a BlackBerry client, and in its goal to become more agile, error free and secure, has moved to a paperless workplace and one that is completely digital, and is now using BlackBerry’s Workspaces, a secure collaboration in a cloud solution. In this episode Nigel, of BlackBerry, discusses Workspaces, as well as the BlackBerry Collaboration Suite, and BlackBerry Dynamics, and how these solutions have benefited Darren’s firm, Patersons Securities.

If you’re an organisation that has a digital strategy, but has concerns over cyber security, then you’ll enjoy this interview with Chris Cubbage, Nigel Thompson and Darren Michael.

In this interview, Morry Morgan talks with Vumero General Manager, and the creator of the IoT Festival, Thomas Alomes. The two discuss the festival’s role in pushing the IoT agenda in Australia, and moving IoT away from just hype and theory, to real world applications – applications that have shown to improve productivity in traditional industries, like farming and livestock management.

The two also discuss the trent towards ‘baked in’ cybersecurity within IoT, partly as a result of the introduction of GDPR regulation, but also the existing limitations of an industry that has ‘lowest bidder’ suppliers.

Recorded at the IoT Festival, Melbourne, June 4, 2018.
