DJ Goldsworthy, Vice President of Security Operations and Threat Management at Aflac, joins the podcast for episode number 1. Brian and John dig into DJ’s background in cybersecurity research and development, and his current role at Aflac where he oversees 8 teams. He’s a leader, but he’s really hands-on, keeping his technical edge.

How do you make sure the right areas of a team this expansive get the right support? The right funding? They soon dig into the current threat-scape and trends in cybersecurity, particularly in terms of the increase in commoditized threats. These are no longer poorly written emails with a couple of links, but cybercrime as a service.

Cybercriminals are also selling access to xIoT devices, which includes IoT, OT, and Network devices, after having gained persistence in a network.
