In today’s episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson chats with Justin Kallhoff about the trials and tribulations of the Small to Medium enterprise in the contemporary world of Cryptovariants, ransomware and how MSSPs work to shoulder the burden of cybersecurity.

InSecurity Podcast: Lieutenant Colonel (Ret) Pete Schiefelbein: It's Not Just Cybersecurity, It's Information Security 

The Cyber Security Forum Initiative (CSFI) is a non-profit organization headquartered in Omaha, NE and in Washington DC with a mission "to provide Cyber Warfare awareness, guidance, and security solutions through collaboration, education, volunteer work, and training to assist the US Government, US Military, Commercial Interests, and International Partners." CSFI was born out of the collaboration of dozens of experts, and today CSFI is comprised of a large community of nearly 81,000 Cyber Security and Cyber Warfare professionals from the government, military, private sector, and academia.

Pete Schiefelbein is a key part of CSFI and works to provide the kind of training to military and private sector companies that can be the difference between a major data breach and just another day at the office.

In today's episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson chats with Pete about a broad spectrum of topics including the evolution of the Marine Corps into a state of the art Cyber Defense unit as well its traditional role as an elite wartime fighting force. They dig into the notion of generational change and how it can effect a military organization. Further, Matt and Pete dig into the notion of information security compared to cybersecurity.

Oh… and for good measure, they even talk a bit about the fact that Pete and his son are both Eagle Scouts and the role scouting is playing in developing the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.

Pakistan is at the center of a new, unusually complex espionage effort. Operation Shaheen is a year-long, ongoing campaign aimed at the Pakastani government and military. It is the work of a previously undisclosed threat actor whose unique style of attack has remained out of the public eye — a success they have taken great pains to achieve. Cylance has named them The White Company in acknowledgement of the elaborate measures they take to whitewash all signs of activity and evade attribution.

In today’s episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson talks with Huntsource Co-Founders Matt Donato and Jack Hall about the ever-growing Cybersecurity Skills Shortage. In a world where there appears to be a never ending torrent of malware, ransomware and coordinated attacks, the gap between attackers and defenders is growing seemingly every day.

Here are some important numbers to consider when thinking about the personnel and technology required to keep your network and your data safe.

Over two thirds of all network compromises are not discovered for months

The average cost to a business for each record lost to a data breach is $148

Now consider that, according to the Herjavec group, there will be over 3.5 million cybersecurity job vacancies by 2021. These gaps run the gamut from the heart of the datacenter up to the executive suite including CISO and CSO positions. How are businesses supposed to prepare for their future if they are not fully staffed and ready to protect their present?
