To recognize National Tax Identity Theft Awareness Week, Daniel Eliot, Director of Education & Strategic Initiatives for the National Cyber Security Alliance, sits down for an interview with two representatives from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to discuss tax-time cybersecurity tips. They discuss common scams targeting tax-payers, what to look out for, and steps individuals and organizations can take to reduce their chances of becoming a victim of cybercriminals.

Listen in as Jenny and Jonathan talk about Star Wars, the oft-cited skills gap, role descriptions, recruitment best practices for both companies and agencies, and what is needed to take the industry forward - clue- it’s all about the humans.

Listen to Jenny and Holly chat about her work helping organisations benefit from neurodiverse mindsets, how she became involved and how Family Guy is relevant to Siri.

This year, the Data Privacy Day theme is A Vision for the Future. And, as you know, when we talk about the future here @ITSPmagazine, we also like to take a look back to the past. In this episode of Chats on the Road to Data Privacy Day 2020, we do just that, along with our guests, Kelvin Coleman, Executive Director at the NCSA, Senior Counsel at The Future of Privacy Forum, and Director, Digital Lab at Consumer Reports.

How well is your AppSec program working? How well is your DevSecOps program working? Are these two functions separate in your organization, or do they operate as one unit? What skills differences are there between the two functions/roles if any? Are they part of your IT ops team? Part of your security team? Part of your engineering team? All of the above? None of the above?

Privacy can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. It can also mean different things to different organizations and government entities. It can also mean different things to different regions and cultures around the world. However, looking at it in polarity—putting the various viewpoints aside for the moment—it can either define how we approach the protection of sensitive information, or it could describe how to legally—or perhaps even morally and ethically—collect and share information.

Listen in as Jenny and Neira explore her life and career, including her focus, inquisitiveness and the positive action that has put her at the vanguard of new technologies, won her a multitude of awards and brought her well-deserved and widespread industry respect and recognition. Thank you for an awesome and inspiring interview Neira!

Listen in, as Jenny and Brett chat about how he got started in cybercrime, his time on the run,  and eventually being caught and sent to prison. They discuss his experiences inside and how he has taken responsibility for his actions and is on a mission to educate us all about cybercrime!

Joined by a handful of usual suspects—Diana, Chris, Rick, Gabe, and Scott—Sean and I kick-started the wondrous apparatus and went back in time 180 years; all the way back to 1840. Then, we got back into it, and we quad-kicked the propeller, and we jumped ahead, double that number; all the way forward to 2200.

Yes, because that is how it works. If you want to go into the future, you must first take a trip back to the past.

On today’s show, we have a number of special guests stopping by during two separate sessions. We always believe, the more the merrier. We're glad you decided to drop by to have a listen—or perhaps even a gander—as we all tell some stories, have a few laughs, and wish you and the entire InfoSec community (and beyond) a very merry and happy holiday season with a healthy and prosperous new year to follow.
