Do you read books? The newspaper? Watch TV?

Why?

Ever watch a YouTube video?

Why?

If your vacuum cleaner stops working, do you fix it? Take it to be fixed? Do you just buy a new one?

It's not Paranoia ifThey're Really After You

Brill: We never dealt with domestic. With us, it was always war.

Thomas Reynolds: We won the war. Now we're fighting the peace. It's a lot more volatile. Now we've got ten million crackpots out there with sniper scopes, sarin gas and C-4. Ten-year-olds go on the Net, downloading encryption we can barely break, not to mention instructions on how to make a low-yield nuclear device. Privacy's been dead for years because we can't risk it. The only privacy that's left is the inside of your head. Maybe that's enough. You think we're the enemy of democracy, you and I? I think we're democracy's last hope.

 -- Enemy of the State; Tony Scott, 1998

It's not paranoia if they're really after you… On this week's InSecurity, Matt Stephenson welcomes back Dr Jessica Barker, Freaky Clown and Dave to take a look at the techno-paranoia classic Enemy of the State.

Amar Singh: How Do We Rank Trust, Security and Control?

This is a story about control My control Control of what I say Control of what I do And this time I'm gonna do it my way I hope you enjoy this as much as I do Are we ready? I am 'Cause it's all about control, And I've got lots of it

 -- Janet Jackson; Control, 1986, A&M Records

On this week's InSecurity, Matt Stephenson welcomes Amar Singh in for a conversation about the notion of Trust, Security, Risk and Control. The key question, in a nearly completely remote workforce, is how do security practitioners mainten any degree of control? We also wonder if anyone ever really had control in the first place. Toss in a bit of trust and security to season the stew and you've got an episode worth listening to.

About Amar Singh

"Live like you'll die tomorrow, work like you don't need the money, and dance like nobody's watching"

 -- Bob Fosse

On this week's InSecurity, Matt Stephenson has a chat with Genetec CSO Chris Morin about the misconceptions surrounding video as a component of your security profile. There has to be a middle ground between dancing like no one is watching and knowing that someone is always watching. Is it Security VERSUS Privacy? Or is it Security PLUS Privacy? We dig into this notion and whole lot more…

Nothing you are about to hear is true… but it all happened…

-- Fred Cohen 11 May, 2020

It all started with a simple Tweet from the Department of Homeland Security…

On today's episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson welcomes Chris Blask & Fred Cohen back to InSecurity. As expected we covered a wide range of subjects, but stayed relatively close to the notion of the impact of attribution and validation of trust and security. Should we trust a source if we don't like what they say? What happens when a trusted source denies saying what we know they said? Trust… verify… attribute… Do they matter?

About Chris Blask

Chris Blask's (@chrisblask) career spans the breadth of the cybersecurity industry for more than 25 years.

He invented one of the first firewall products, built a multi-billion dollar firewall business at Cisco System, co-founded an early SIEM vendor, authored the first book on SIEM, founded an information sharing center for critical infrastructures, and has advised public and private organizations in every sector around the world.

In his role within the Office of Innovation at Unisys, Chris created and leads the Operational Technology and IoT practices, invented the Digital Bill of Materials (DBoM) structure, and established the Unisys Marine Living Research Center.

Today he chairs a range of non-profit cybersecurity organizations and contributes to a wide range of global security efforts.

"We are all very fortunate to not have ordinary lives, so do not listen to what the world tells you has to be done. The real revolution happens when patients are in charge of their own outcomes."

 -- Matthew Zachary

What do you do when you are a gifted composer and musician… and one day your hand stops working?

Each year, 77,000 adolescents and young adults aged 15-39 are diagnosed with cancer. That's one every seven minutes. Cancer incidence in young adults has increased more than any other age group, yet somehow, survival rates have not improved at the same rate as other age groups.

Cancer is the number one disease killer in young adults. Young adults are the most underserved patient population by age. Delayed cancer diagnosis is disproportionately higher in young adults.

Which begs the question… what is being done to improve the resources for Adolescents and Young Adults dealing with cancer

On this episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson ran amok with Matthew Zachary, founder of Stupid Cancer and Offscrip Media. Why are we talking about cancer advocacy? Ask Matthew… when he entered the "$#!+ Happens" store, there was no one there to greet him. Rather than being told how to die with dignity, he rose up and gathered those facing similar situations. He founded Stupid Cancer and gave birth to the young adult cancer movement. The Stupid Cancer Show broke all the rules and gave a voice to millions. What else can we learn from someone who is winning that ongoing battle? Worth a listen to find out…

About Matthew Zachary

Ten years after surviving brain cancer at age 21, Matthew Zachary (@matthewzachary) created Stupid Cancer(@stupidcancer), the world's largest young adult cancer community, and The Stupid Cancer Show, the world's first health podcast, which amassed a global listenership in the millions. He stepped down as Stupid Cancer's CEO in 2019 and launched his latest venture, OffScrip Media, the first podcasting network at the intersection of patient advocacy, education, and digital health. True to form, Matthew is also back behind the mic where he belongs. His new show on the OffScrip Media Network, Out of Patients, is being hailed as "the voice of patient advocacy." As he continues to be pissed off with the dumpster fire that is our healthcare system, the through-line of Matthew's entire career is patient advocacy; and he will not stop calling out all sorts of Stupid BS that shouldn't have to be a thing. Matthew is also an acclaimed keynote speaker, accomplished film composer, and award-winning concert pianist.

About Offscrip Media

Today's healthcare conversations are too polite. Offscrip Media (@offscripmedia) is here to fix all that. Created by Matthew Zachary, a 25-year brain cancer survivor, and the Founder of Stupid Cancer, OffScrip Media is the first podcasting network at the intersection of patient advocacy, education, and digital health. Their mission is to build community, end isolation, amplify voice, and improve quality of life for patients and caregivers.

"What's changed most about Tor is the drug markets have taken over… We had all these hopeful things in the beginning but ever since Silk Road has proven you can do it, the criminal use of Tor has become overwhelming. I think 95% of what we see on the onion sites and other dark net sites is just criminal activity. It varies in severity from copyright piracy to drug markets to horrendous trafficking of humans and exploitation of women and children."

 -- Andrew Lewman; cyberscoop, 22 May, 2017

You tired of hearing about the Cyber Skills Gap?

What about the recent unemployment numbers due to COVID19?

What if we brought you some really good news that includes a great story?

What if that good news and great story includes something that is replicable, accessible and available?

What if we get on with it and stop asking so many dumb questions?

In today's episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson has a chat with Kip Boyle about the current state of employment in the cybersecurity world. Is it all doom and gloom?

"There are leaders and there are those who lead. Leaders hold a position of power or influence. Those who lead inspire us.

Whether individuals or organizations, we follow those who lead not because we have to, but because we want to. We follow those who lead not for them, but for ourselves."

 -- Simon Sinek; Start with Why, 2009

Once upon a time, not that long ago… the music industry was flying high, peaking at over $22 BILLION in global sales then was laid low by a combination of events and technology it was not ready for.

There were decisions to be made which could have not only saved the industry, but made it thrive.

Leadership did not make those.

There were relationships to be forged with users that could have done the same.

The industry began suing their consumers.

What if industry leaders made a point to really look out for their users and their employees first? You think that might be a catalyst for a company to grow and thrive even though it is facing a potential disaster?

In today's episode of InSecurity, Matt Stephenson sits down with Spirion CEO Kevin Coppins for a chat about the role of a new leader in the middle of the most tumultuous time in the modern computing era. Having spent time in the music+tech upheaval of the Napster era, Kevin Coppins has steered through some whitewater rapids in his time. What do we do when the whole world gets turned upside down? Stay tuned and find out…
