Cyber Security Weekly Podcast

In this interview, Hans Skovgaard, the Vice President of Research & Development with Milestone Systems discusses Artificial Intelligence, it’s changing popularity over the past 30 years, and its resurgence in relation to deep learning, due to the power of today’s computational neural networks. 

Hans also demystifies the term Artificial Intelligence, and the role of machine learning within the AI umbrella, and how this advancement will allow for pervasive use across almost every industry. 

Chris and Hans also highlight the growth of AI enabled cameras across the world’s cities, and how IoT enabled sensors, coupled with AI, will make our cities smarter and safer.

Chris Cubbage talks to Bjorn Eilertsen, Chief Technology Officer and Benjamin Low, the VP of Sales for Asia Pacific, both with Milestone Systems. Bjorn highlights the transformation of cyber security specifically in relation to aggregation, automation and augmentation of huge sets of data, particularly in relation to video surveillance systems. Bjorn also discusses the three ‘Ds’ - security by design, default, and deployment.

Benjamin Low discusses the maturity level of the Indo-Pacific Market with respect of the quality of software and surveillance technology, and Milestone’s strategy for its growth within the Asia-Pacific market.

This is not only a technology-focused episode, but one that also discusses  ‘Big Brother’, personal privacy, trust and the moral and ethical dilemma, and it’s conflict with our need for convenience.

Welcome to 2018 and the conclusion of 2017 podcast releases. MySecurity Media were recently visiting Hanoi, Vietnam courtesy of Milestone Systems and recorded podcast interviews on video surveillance and related technologies.

We also provide a content overview for the Feb/March 2018 edition of the Australian Security Magazine due out next week (thanks to Hills, Seagate, CIVSEC, SecurityExpo, Cities 4.0) and the upcoming Australian Cyber Security Magazine, Issue 4,

This week’s news included The Cabinet Files, GoGet Breach, ASIO Foreign Intelligence warning, NDB & GDPR – get set for a roller-coaster 2018!

 

NOTE: Early reports suggested that the Cabinet Files may have been related to Senator Penny Wong’s office – the Office of the Prime Minister & Cabinet have since claimed responsibility.

In this interview, we speak with Daisy Sinclair and get insight into her start-up company, Cyber8Lab, that focuses on cyber drills, training, crisis communication and evidence preservation – all part of a CARD system – or Cyber Attack Response Drill – and how this process to cyber security differs significantly from a Capture the Flag activity.
