Tom Pace: How Much is an Ounce of Prevention Really Worth?

According to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations report, 4% of people will click on any given phishing campaign.

You have 16 minutes until the first click

Then offer to sell it back to you for thousands or millions of dollars.

Fresh off an appearance on CBS’s 60 Minutes, Tom talks with Matt about the experience of being featured on the most respected news show in America and the effects a data breach can have on an organization and an industry.

Richard Stiennon: The IT Security Industry: A Complete History

We here at InSecurity have a question… Why Hasn’t Anyone Catalogued the Entirety of the IT Security Industry?

Why hasn’t the Cybersecurity industry gotten better at protecting all the things? There are SO many companies offering variations on existing solutions or brand new solutions… but the threats remain and the bad actors continue to be successful. Outside of The Internet… where can we go to get information on and analysis of the companies who are creating solutions that work? Can we learn where they came from? Have they been successful previously?

If only we knew someone who could compile a compendium of all that is going on in the IT Security world…

In this week’s episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson somehow managed to wrangle 60 minutes with industry legend Richard Stiennon. The take a walk through Richard’s work as author of multiple books on the threat of cyberwar, the role analysts play in the industry and his eye toward the future. His latest project is creating a Farmer’s Almanac of the entirety of Cybersecurity. It is such a fabulous idea, we’re kind of flummoxed as to how no one has done it yet. It is also such a breathtaking undertaking… we kind of understand why no one has done it yet. Come grab a seat with one of the greatest historians in all of the IT world and find out what is coming next!

Roy Christopher: Dead Precedents… How Hip-Hop Defines the Future

 

I have absolute control of the record. The thing was, you’re not supposed to touch the middle of the vinyl. DJs are going to hate you. People are going to hate you. You’re going to ruin these records. I decided… that this… was the only way to do this.

 -- Grandmaster Flash

 

Let’s push the talk about hacking shall we? Hacking is about finding the vulnerable spots in any systems and making your own choices about how to improve that system... rarely with the permission of the system’s owners.

Viewed through that prism, Hip-Hop has always been about hacking. Hacking was running 1000 feet of extension cord to a public outlet in order to have a Battle in the park. Hacking was a DJ talking over a record at a club. Hacking was Kool Herc throwing a party at 1520 Sedgwick Ave in the Bronx and not playing disco or pop music. Hacking was Grandmaster Flash touching the middle of the vinyl. Hacking is rhyming with Orange.

Dr Roy Christopher has spent a lifetime listening to, researching, teaching and loving Hip-Hop. In this week’s episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson digs into the crates with Roy about how Hip-Hop hacked the world to become one of the most significant drivers of modern culture. This will likely be the first podcast you listen to this week featuring steganography, Li’l Pump and John Baptist Porta’s 1558 book series Magia naturalis

Do we even need to go on…?

 

 

Dead Precedents: How Hip-Hop Defines the Future, uses the concerns and conceits of cyberpunk to thoughtfully remap hip-hop's spread from around the way to around the world. Its central argument is that the cultural practices of hip-hop culture are the blueprint to the 21st century, and that an understanding of its appropriation of language and technology is an understanding of the now. This book is about is the many ways that the foundations of hip-hop appropriation--allusions and creative language use, as well as technology and sampling--inform the new millennium.

About Roy Christopher

Roy Christopher (@RoyChristopher) marshals the middle between Mathers and McLuhan… He’s a self-described aging BMX and skateboarding zine kid. That’s where he learned to turn events and interviews into pages with staples.

He has written about music, media, and culture for everything from magazines and blogs to journals and books. His current book, Dead Precedents: How Hip-Hop Defines the Future, is an Amazon Best Sller.

Roy holds a Ph.D. in Communication Studies from the University of Texas at Austin. He is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago and a member of the Adjunct Faculty at Loyola University Chicago

Disinformation has referred to Roy as “One of the Internet’s leading interviewers of subculture and new-science icons.”

Oh… as a child, he solved the Rubik’s Cube competitively. How bout that?

In this week’s episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson digs deep into the weeds of the virtual world with industry legend Jeremiah Cornelius. They talk about what’s easy and what’s hard about securing data in virtual environments. Stick around… you may learn something before their through.
