No matter where you are in the world, security is a big topic, and that was especially evident at the recent InfoSec Europe show where vendors attempted to outshine one another and show off their solutions. In this episode of Security Nation, Kyle talks with Tom Rogers who is a long time security pro in London. They discuss the security topics that are top of mind throughout EMEA and what is happening across the globe, from the Ransomware FUD spread by vendors to the move towards the cloud.

The amount of alerts streaming out of security tools can easily lead infosec professionals down the wrong path. But what’s the solution? Is there a better way to analyze user behaviors and identify compromise as it occurs? Kyle discusses the situation with Rapid7’s Eric Sun and Matt Hathaway.

The term “Threat Intelligence” has become buzzword in the industry. In this episode Kyle speaks with Rapid7’s threat intelligence guru Rebekah Brown to take a step back and talk about what threat intelligence really is. Rebekah’s previous roles include NSA network warfare analyst, Operations Chief of a United States Marine Corps cyber unit, and a U.S. Cyber Command training and exercise lead.

The swift rise of ransomware has led many companies to evaluate the risk it presents to their business. In this episode, host Kyle Flaherty explores some of the more common concerns around this attack vector and discusses with Tod Beardsley, Rapid7 security research manager, and returning guest Wade Woolwine.

Over the course of his career Wade Woolwine has served as threat detection and incident response analyst at a number of government agencies. In this episode he and Kyle discuss how organizations can manage incident detection and response initiatives.
