In this episode of the Other Side of the Firewall podcast, hosts Ryan Williams Sr., Shannon Tynes, and Daniel Acevedo discuss the recent $2 million fine imposed on PayPal for cybersecurity failures following a significant data breach. The crew digs into the inadequacy of the fine, the necessity for stronger cybersecurity measures like multi-factor authentication, and the lack of regulatory standards in the industry. The hosts emphasize the importance of having well-trained personnel in cybersecurity roles and the need for federal regulations to protect personal information. They also explore the implications of financial motivations on cybersecurity practices and the evolving landscape of regulations at both state and federal levels.
