  • What if Hitler had access to my Facebook data?

    This week we are exploring the somewhat complex relationship between social media and democracy and asking the question: what if Hitler had access to my Facebook data?

     

    It’s said that today’s secret services and Big Data companies possess much more data about us than were needed to run totalitarian states in the past. 

    So, with this in mind, what would happen to our personal data were it to end up in the wrong hands? What would the consequences be for us as individuals and for society were it to be misused? 

     

    In fact, China has already started ranking citizens with a 'social credit' system or Citizen Score – to be fully implemented by 2020 - which would penalize or reward citizens for their actions, both on and offline. This raises alarm bells and begs the question: can democracy, as we know it, survive Big Data and Artificial Intelligence? 

     

    With us to explore these issues is Mark Johnson, Founder and CEO of the Risk Management Group.

  • Getting more girls into Cyber Security with Sarah Atkinson, VP at CA Technologies

     On this episode we are commemorating Ada Lovelace Day, which happens on the second Tuesday of every October to celebrate the achievements of women in STEM careers (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), and was created in memory of Ada Lovelace, the first computer programmer. However, it’s also at these moments in time when we should take note that women make up just 23 per cent of the stem industries workforce. What’s more, just last week, a leading male scientist presented a talk at CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research in Geneva claiming that “physics was invented and built by men, it’s not by invitation”. Proof that there’s still a way to go to achieve equality in the work place and to change certain attitudes. 

    So what can be done about this? How can we encourage more girls to consider STEM careers? Do organisations need to change the way they recruit? If so, how? 

    To discuss these questions on the podcast we are joined by Sarah Atkinson, Vice President at CA Technologies.

  • “A good conference is like a robust dinner party” – Freshfields CISO, Mark Walmsley, on getting the best value from conferences
    As a security decision maker, you might be suffering from conference fatigue. You know, that all too familiar din as you attempt to traverse the never-ending conference floor only to be stalled in your tracks by yet another vendor touting the latest “silver bullet” for EVERY cyber vulnerability.
    And yet, relationship building, networking and discussion with peers are invaluable to CISOs. So how can CISOs gain value from events and forums without having to trawl through the claptrap?
    Mark Walmsley, CISO of global law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, shares his perspectives on our podcast about the importance of getting maximum return from your time at conferences and how to do so.

  • Elections: manipulations, misinformation and misconceptions
    As the US mid-term elections approach, we thought we’d take a close look at “elections and hacking” with chief security scientist at Thycotic, Joseph Carson.
    On the podcast, Joe explains why information wars pose the greatest risk to democracy, how manipulating the mind works through misinformation, and what changes to the voting system he’d like to see put in place.

  • “Cyber is a team sport, it’s not about the star player” – Chief Security Officer of Bacs and Faster Payments, Craig Rice, on cyber resiliency
    What does it take to build a cyber resilient organisation? What’s the best way to educate staff? Is a revolution needed or can cyber resiliency evolve over time? What does cyber resiliency even mean? This week we are talking about “cyber resiliency” with Chief Security Officer of Bacs and Faster Payments, Craig Rice.

  • Mental Health & Cyber Security: Do we have a problem?
    This week we are talking about mental health in cyber security and what businesses should be doing to help their employees deal with the stresses of the job.
    Long hours and high stress levels, the cyber security profession is not for everyone and with data breaches on the rise - is it right that cyber security professionals carry all that pressure on their shoulders, from the board down? Furthermore, what’s the impact on their mental health?
    With us to explore this topic is Trustwave’s Chris Schueler, Senior Vice President of Managed Security Services, who has a background in the military and has seen the effects of poor mental health first hand.

  • Could veterans be the answer to the cyber skills shortage problem?
    45% of businesses claim to have a shortage of cybersecurity skills and 67% of cybersecurity professionals say they’re too busy with their jobs to keep up with skills development and training. And yet there is an obvious and massively untapped resource – veterans – of which only 4% are working in tech and cyber.
    TEISS speaks with Peter Connolly, CEO of TechVets, on why veterans are the perfect candidates to solve the cyber security skills shortage problem.
