In this episode of the TOSS C3 Podcast, Greg Hanna demystifies two of the most commonly misunderstood cybersecurity technologies: SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and XDR (Extended Detection and Response).

Both promise better detection, faster response, and improved security outcomes—but which one does what, and when should you use them?

Greg breaks it all down in plain English, helping business leaders, CISOs, and IT teams make informed decisions on their security stack.

• What SIEM is really good at—and where it falls short

• How XDR modernizes threat detection and response

• The key differences in architecture, data correlation, and response automation

• When to choose SIEM, XDR, or both

• Why legacy SIEMs may be costing you more than they’re protecting

• What SMBs and enterprises need to know before making the switch

“Don't just collect data. Correlate and act fast. XDR is like SIEM with jet fuel—but only if it’s done right.”

🎙️ The Toss C3 Podcast is back with Greg Hanna, founder of Toss C3, and host Neil Haley discussing the Netflix thriller "Leave the World Behind"—a cyberattack-fueled apocalyptic nightmare that may be closer to reality than we think.

🎬 "Leave the World Behind"—A Cybersecurity Horror Story

• The #1 Netflix movie starring Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, and Kevin Bacon delivers a terrifyingly real depiction of a cyber attack on the U.S.
• Hackers disable communication networks, power grids, and GPS systems, causing total chaos.
• Autonomous vehicles (like Teslas) are remotely hijacked, blocking highways and causing mass destruction.
• Planes crash, oil freighters get stranded, and anarchy sets in within hours.

💥 Could This Really Happen? Cybersecurity Experts Say YES!

• Infrastructure cyberattacks are a real-world threat—recently, a water facility outside of Pittsburgh was hacked.
• Power plants, transportation, and communication systems are all vulnerable to cyber warfare.
• 72 hours from anarchy—once a cyberattack disables critical infrastructure, panic sets in fast.

⚠️ Biggest Cybersecurity Threats Today:
✅ Hacking power grids—a coordinated attack could plunge entire cities into darkness.
✅ Tampering with water supplies—cybercriminals have already attempted this in the U.S.
✅ Disrupting GPS & air traffic control—planes could literally fall from the sky.
✅ Autonomous vehicle hacks—as seen in the movie, self-driving cars could be turned into roadblocks.

🚨 Why Every Business & Government Must Take Cybersecurity Seriously

• Hollywood often predicts the future—this movie isn't just fiction; it’s a warning.
• Cyberattacks on national infrastructure are inevitable unless governments take proactive action.
• Greg Hanna for Cybersecurity Director 2024?—Neil Haley says it first: Greg should be heading to the White House to prevent this from happening!

🔒 How to Protect Yourself & Your Business:
✅ Invest in strong cybersecurity defenses—don’t wait until it’s too late.
✅ Train employees & citizens on cyber hygiene—most attacks happen due to human error.
✅ Prepare for emergencies—backup power, offline communication methods, and cybersecurity contingency plans are a must.
✅ Stay informed & vigilant—cyber warfare isn’t just a possibility—it’s a reality.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

🎙️ The Toss C3 Podcast is back with Greg Hanna, founder of Toss C3, and host Neil Haley discussing one of the biggest Android security threats today—the SpyNote banking Trojan. This malware records calls, steals personal data, and spreads through phishing links.

🚨 Beware of SpyNote: A Dangerous Android Trojan

• SpyNote is a sophisticated banking Trojan that can record phone calls, steal audio, and gather sensitive data.
• Hackers spread it through SMS phishing campaigns, fake emergency alerts, and malicious apps downloaded outside the Play Store.
• Attackers can listen in real-time and gain access to banking details, passwords, and personal conversations.

⚠️ How SpyNote Spreads:

• Fake text messages & phishing emails trick users into clicking malicious links.
• Fake emergency alerts—recently used in Italy to deceive visitors.
• Malicious apps disguised as legit software, including games and screen savers.
• Search engine scams—malicious sites mimic real websites to steal login credentials.

🔒 How to Protect Yourself & Your Business:
✅ Never click on unknown links in texts or emails.
✅ Only download apps from the official Play Store or App Store.
✅ Manually type website URLs instead of clicking links in search results.
✅ Deny unnecessary app permissions, especially access to background activity.
✅ Regularly update your device’s security software.

🛑 Biggest Business Risk? Employees Bringing Hacked Phones to Work

• If just one employee downloads SpyNote, it can record confidential business conversations.
• This is especially dangerous for law firms, healthcare providers, and financial institutions.
• Companies must train employees on cybersecurity awareness and implement strict security policies.
