Published on

February 22, 2023

“Because we test realistically, sometimes bad guys come onto our test network and mess with us”

[buzzsprout episode=’11052455′ player=’true’]

Show notes for series 2, episode 9 (final episode of series 2)

What is the attack chain? Why is it good to test using full attack chains? And what are some of the alternative approaches, with their pros and cons? We’ll try to answer all of these questions and more in this special presentation episode recorded at the AVAR conference in Singapore in December 2022.

Cyber Security DE:CODED – Cheating in security testing

“If they chose the best products by rolling a dice then they should say so”

[buzzsprout episode=’10578741′ player=’true’]

Show notes for series 2, episode 8

If we’ve given the impression that we’re at the heart of the security world, working with the organisations that spend billions on security – and with the companies that make billions by selling security products – you’d be right. And that puts us in an awkward position. Because we want to make security better for everyone. And sometimes that means speaking some uncomfortable truths.

This episode is the uncomfortable truth episode.

Cyber Security DE:CODED – Security opportunities for Managed Service Providers

“Every SMB is an expert in something. A passion. It’s probably not anti-virus…”

Show notes for series 2, episode 7

Small business and Managed Service Provider special!

Do small businesses face the same cyber threats as large organisations?
Are your security solutions 100% effective? And how do you pick a good one?
Where are the opportunities for MSPs to add value and make more money?

In June 2022*, we set up a panel of security experts to help and advise companies selling managed security services. Managed Service Providers (MSPs) need to choose a set of security solutions that they can use or possibly resell to their small business clients, known as SMBs.

The clients face the same cyber threats as large organisations, but they’re far less equipped to handle them.

We answer all of these questions and more with special guests Martin Lee from Cisco, Chad Skipper from VMware, and Luis Corrons from Avast.

October 25, 2022

“We see the worst, because it’s helped us to evolve to pick up on threats and dangers. But it’s not that helpful for life in the 21st century.”

[buzzsprout episode=’10578740′ player=’true’]

Show notes for series 2, episode 6

Mental health is an important but often misunderstood area, full of prejudice and technical jargon. How can we look after ourselves better at work and in our personal lives?

Post-pandemic, we take stock on the mental impacts of working from home and isolated environments.

And now we’re facing hybrid working. Can we take control?

Is this the right time to take stock and address any issues we can identify to stay happier?

Protective factors can keep us going but, when they disappear, we can experience problems.

We address all of these issues and more, with special guest Olly Church (The Eleos Partnership).

“As long as anything is online, it’s open for strangers to try to break protection”

[buzzsprout episode=’10578736′ player=’true’]

Show notes for series 2, episode 4

The ‘cloud’ is integrating with our lives at ever more useful (or intrusive!) levels. We look at what securing the cloud means in the real world.

Is it possible to secure your online life when you don’t control all of the systems in use?

Is anyone testing cloud security, or do we simply need to accept marketing claims?

Don’t lose your cryptocurrency to hackers and scammers. Our security tips focus on cryptocurrency investors.

What does a personal hack attack look like? Backups never seems more attractive…

Guests on this month’s Cyber Security DE:CODED podcast include Eugene Kaspersky (Kaspersky) and Luis Corrons (Avast).

[buzzsprout episode=’10578734′ player=’true’]

Show notes for series 2, episode 3

What does it mean to test like a hacker? Can a well-intentioned tester behave the same as a real cybercriminal?

When you’re looking for a good security test, how can you tell the useful from the misleading?

Our email accounts sit at the centre of our digital lives. We look at ways to bullet-proof your most important internet account.

We discuss these questions, and more, with Frank Duff (ex-MITRE, now Tidal Cyber), Mike Sentonas (CrowdStrike) and Siggi Stefnisson (Avast).
