ISF Podcast

“The methods of psychological manipulation used by attackers have not just moved online since humans entered the digital era, but today's attack techniques are more sophisticated, cost-effective and expansive, allowing attackers to effectively target individuals or to attack on a considerably larger scale.”

In this podcast, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, explores how psychological vulnerabilities present attackers with opportunities to influence and exploit humans for their own advantage.

“We are seeing, the EU being an important leader in trying to advocate for consumers' rights, to some degree for employees' rights, although I wouldn't say that that's super strong. I would like to see students going through more data science training so that they have better data literacy and are better able to advocate for themselves out in the world about what can and cannot be done.”

In this ISF podcast, Laura Norén, VP of Privacy and Trust at Obsidian Security sat down with Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, to discuss data privacy for employees, whether AI is suited for cybersecurity, and more.

The latest ISF Podcast will bring the first in a series of episodes focusing on human-centred security. In this episode, Steve Durbin, Managing Director of the ISF, will discuss what the insider threat looks like and how to manage it.

“Employees and negligence are the leading causes of security incidents but remain the least reported issue. The explosion of digital devices creates real challenges for organisations of all sizes. The majority consider themselves vulnerable to insider threats and most include insider threats in their top three security concerns”

"I think that when we look at cybersecurity today, it isn't just a technology issue. It is much bigger than that. Cyber is pretty much integrated across all of an enterprise. There isn't anything that most departments in a business won't get up to that doesn't touch cyber in some way. 

In this week's ISF Podcast, Steve Durbin, Managaing Director, ISF, discusses not only the risks involved of leaving cybersecurity squarely on the shoulders of the CIO, but also how cybersecurity can enable growth and innovation.

"It isn't just about technology. The human piece has a key role to play in securing our environment, and so yes, for me, the Board has to be setting an example, has to be really at the top of it's game in demonstrating leadership."

In the latest ISF Podcast, we present the second of two episodes focusing on the role of the Board in cybersecurity. ISF Managing Director Steve Durbin will be discussing how the Board can address the skills shortage, as well as the evolution of the Board's role as cybersecurity further integrates into all levels of the business.

"Why is it not enough for an organization to hire a CISO and have that person report to the board periodically? Why is that not enough due diligence?"

In the latest ISF Podcast, we present the first of two episodes focusing on the role of the Board in cybersecurity.

“Nobody is immune from attack, especially as these attacks are getting increasingly sophisticated. You have the spearphishing attacks, which are very, very highly targeted at very specific individuals. Those emails look like they're coming from friends, from professional colleagues, and emails are not the only vector. So the attacker can throw things at us from many different directions. And we've got to be cognizant of all of those.”

In the second Podcast of this two-part series, VS Subrahmanian, Professor of Computer Science at Dartmouth College, discusses the risks posed by the Internet of Things, cybersecurity awareness for the general public, and more.
