Phishy Business episodes
- Workhorses, kidnappings, and ransomware
In this episode we speak to Marc Brandner, partner at SmartRiskSolutions a risk and crisis management consultancy. He served as an officer of the German Special Forces (KSK) in various command assignments in Germany and abroad. He now supports customers both in crisis prevention and in the architecture of holistic and seamless security management. We discuss the similarities between kidnappings and ransomware, the fact that most companies still underestimate the cyber threats they face, and how to best create a crisis management and cyber response plan.
In ‘Workhorses, kidnappings, and ransomware’ we discuss:
- The similarities between ransomware and kidnapping and how to respond to ransomware attacks
- Companies need more awareness of cybercrime across the board, and should have preventative measures in place
- The different legal requirements based on which country the cybercrime takes place in, makes investigations challenging for law enforcement
- Bigger companies should be aware of creating silos when creating crisis management plans – having a full view is crucial
- In a crisis situation, management can sometimes decide on the wrong course of action out of eagerness rather than making an informed decision
- Metaphorically, workhorses are better than racehorses in the special forces

32 min - Cartoon eyes, and other cybersecurity awareness training techniques
This week we speak to Mike Gruen, CISO and CTO and Dr. Daniel Glaser, a neuroscientist, about how humour can help in learning.

32 min - Teenagers and cybercrime – the draw of malice and money?
Listen to this interesting episode featuring how law enforcement tries to prevent young offenders from making a career in cybercrime. We speak to Floor Jansen, team leader of the offender prevention squad of the Dutch police, and British offender prevention expert Gregory Francis about young cybercrime offenders. We discuss their sometimes surprising motivations, what can be done to stop them from committing these acts, and why society as a whole needs to own the problem.
In this episode, ‘Teenagers and cybercrime – the draw of malice and money?’, we discuss:
- Just how much damage a 14-year-old with a grudge can cause a multinational company
- The motivations of young cybercrime offenders aren’t always to cause harm
- There really isn’t much difference between the crime prevention officers and the young offenders – they both have a passion for IT, one group just took a positive turn in their lives
- Gaming can be a gateway into committing cybercrimes, as teenagers look to modify and cheat
- Prevention is key, and if caught early, the re-offending rate drops
- More often than not, the young offenders did not understand the implications of the crimes they were committing
- Parents and teachers are usually never in the loop and see these acts as mischief without realising the child could go to prison.

We discuss how the NCSC got started, how they communicate cyber threats to the general public without infantilising them, the need for sectorial cyber security legislation and how the culture of silence around ransomware could be doing more harm than good. And last but certainly not least, Ciaran’s surprising snack choice.In ‘Cyber Security and crisps’ we discuss:How to balance top secret threat intelligence with communications about cyber security to the general publicThe need for legislation in cyber security and how it should be tailored to each business sectorHow deglamourizing and talking about cyber-attacks and ransomware might help organisations better deal with those threatsThe borderless nature of cybercrime and how difficult it is for governments to catch cyber criminalsHow universities are unique organisations to protect against cyber crimesThat working for MI6 is nothing like the James Bond filmsAbout Phishy BusinessFed up with the same old cybersecurity stories?
