Sittadel Podcast

We talk about everything you need to know before buying cyber security insurance, and Nate and Joshua chat about an update to the Kaseya ransomware that crippled 1500 small businesses.

Bearded barley is a cool season annual cereal grain, growing about 3 feet high.  It's great for adding lots of organic matter or biomass in a short period of time.  Additionally, it provides erosion control and weed competition. You can't get cybersecurity facts like these anywhere else.

What's the business you've always wanted to start?  Gourmet hot dog cart?  A crafty booth at the farmer's market?  That's too normal for Nate, who wants to create new dinosaurs.  In this episode, we talk through the Kaseya supply chain attack which demands $70 million for the data of over 1500 small businesses.  Nate and Joshua discuss ransomware, Kaseya, RMM tools, and an archaeopteryx. 

We want to say thank you for trusting Sittadel to bring cybersecurity to Lakeland - and the rest of the globe - as we now have clients and listeners all over the globe.  If you want to learn more about Sittadel, start the conversation at www.sittadel.com. 

Jeffrey Snover is currently serving Microsoft as the CTO for Modern Workforce Transformation, and he spends an hour with Joshua with Nate discussing everything from dinosaurs to professional advice. Joshua can barely keep it together as they discuss PowerShell, Microsoft, women in technology, Windows Server, Unix, GUI and CLI, fatherly advice, the rapid elasticity of Azure, change management, and professional wrestling.

Thank you for the impact you have had on my life, Jeffrey.

Before the Wannacry attack, MalwareTechBlog was just another place you could go to read about the weapons used by cybercriminals. After the mind behind MalwareTech found a kill switch buried in the Wannacry code, all eyes were on Marcus Hutchins. In this episode, Nate and Joshua talk through one of the most fascinating stories in cyber defense. And offense. Depends on which part of the timeline we're talking about...

In this episode, we talk about sinkholing, malware, reverse engineering, wannacry, the NSA, shadowbrokers, and with deep respect, Marcus Hutchins.

Why didn't John Connor use Ransomware to defeat The Terminator? In this episode, Nate and Joshua discuss the best ways to defend against an attack by robots using a machine learning algorithm to identify their targets. Along the way, they stumble upon the meaning of life.

In this episode, we discuss tensorflow, IBM Watson, AI, artificial intelligence, machine learning, autonomous vehicles, and influence. 

We hit three main topics in this episode: The endless stream of cyber attacks making headlines, network topology, and personal security.  Nate coins the phrase, "What you're choosing should be based on what you're using," which perfectly summarizes the approach business owners should have when designing their network.

In this episode, we discuss a series of ransomware attacks, cyber extortion, keyloggers, password managers, UTM platforms, network design, and dinosaurs.

You can count on Nate and Joshua to tackle the hard questions like: How tall is the average American male and what's scarier than a network leviathan. Trafenia Flynn Salzman, a Cloud Security Architect for the federal government, drops by to give her thoughts on how network security is affected by using cloud systems. 

In this episode, we talk about Zero Trust, network security, cloud security, MFA, access control lists, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS, Anonymous, and a few network security threats. 

Thinking about network security but don't know where to begin? In this episode, Joshua walks Nate through a few network security fundamentals:  Stateful vs Stateless firewalls and IDS vs IPS appliances.  It's just enough cybersecurity mumbo jumbo to set the state for June's Network Security series.  

Also, Hoobastank. We talk a lot about Hoobastank. 

Nate has a unique approach to life, and this is our chance to learn about his story so far.  In this episode, we talk about the importance of the moment.

Is there a secret to getting hired in a cybersecurity role? Not really, but Nate and Joshua break down a few different approaches to land your first job.  In this episode, we talk about CompTia A+, Net+, Sec+, CySA+, CISA, CISM, CISSP, and GCFA certifications, as well as penetration testing and forensics ceilings.
