NCF-358 Post Digital Transformation Cybersecurity

Welcome back, everybody, to New Cyber Frontier! Today we are going over Dr. Gorog’s trip he went on, to share the IEEE Digital Privacy initiative all over the world. In late June, he made multiple stops in Canada, Singapore, Milan Italy, Vienna Austria, Hungary Budapest, and Bristol England. During his trip, he spoke at different events and conferences including: (I.T.S) Intelligent Transportation Systems, Securing Privacy, and a  Privacy-enhancing conference. Digital Transformation has been on the horizon for quite some time now, and we are digging deeper into how the world is shifting more towards Digital and virtual instead of Physical. For a new Generation, this can impact the workforce, it can assemble or destroy a good amount of certain jobs that we have today. This also raises the question, if everything is digital, how much of your private data is owned by you? Maintaining control and security over your data in a digital world is an essential part of our future. Tune in today to see how Digital Transformation will impact your future!

NCF-357 AI Friend or Foe

Welcome back, everybody, to New Cyber Frontier! Today we have hosts Tim Montgomery and Dr. Gorog discussing the current status and future of Artificial intelligence. A.I has been the buzzword everybody has been talking about for the last couple of years, we have seen the evolution and direction it is headed. The important thing is how we apply AI. AI can be a handy instrument for good, however, it can be extremely harmful if misused. A. I will use data from across the internet from multiple sources even if it is true or false. Dr. Gorog talks about a study that students conducted with AI, in this study the students put false information on blog posts and asked about this information to AI. AI actually found the blog posts/websites, and referenced this information as true information to consumers. It is crucial we can distinctly tell when AI is true or false. Our current decisions about the development and use of AI will have a significant impact on its future.

IEEE13 Megatrends Driving the Future of Technology

Welcome back to New Cyber Frontier! Today we speak with guest Dejan Milojicic, Hewlett Packard Enterprises Senior Scientist and Chair of IEEE Future Directions Industry Advisory Board. IEEE has recently announced the release of an epic work effort spanning several years, supported by experts from many industries and backgrounds. The resultant IEEE Megatrends Report will more than likely be one of the most referenced and reliable technology future-looking publications available in the world. In this episode, we provide an overview of what this report means to the markets and how it compares to other industry futures reports from corporate sources such as Gartner and Forrester. Since the IEEE is an individual membership-funded organization focused on the betterment of humanity, we see a much broader resource in its reports vs. others which may have a bias to support trendier conclusions. It is a great full-spectrum resource that includes many insights that explain why some of the most upcoming technologies may be found in areas most financial industry reports have undervalued.   This resource has identified three Megatrends that underlie most of the direction of technology development and show how they are anticipated to yield substantial impacts worldwide. Hear the discussion on how the megatrends were determined and how they are impacting us ethically, economically, socially, or ecologically. The three major Megatrends each correlate to one another and anyone looking at future needs will want to ensure they are aligned at the intersection of the major sociological trends that they represent. In today’s show, Dr. Milojicic only scratches the surface of the three megatrends: Artificial General Intelligence, Sustainability, and Digital transformation, but there is so much information in the report that you will want to download it to absorb it for yourself. Tune in to today’s podcast to see how Megatrends change the world!

NCF-355 I'm an Average User - What does security do for me?

Hello, everybody!  Welcome back to New Cyber Frontier! Today we have our guest Dominic Paulo on the show for the second time. We have asked Mr. Paulo to lend his voice as an engaged but cautious technologist, and to discuss some trends that he sees with blockchain technologies. Mr. Paulo has taken some time to reflect on experienced positions from those in the cyber industry, and to give his opinions on where he believes the future is heading for blockchain, data mining, and cyber security. In this episode, we also discuss data lineage, that is the input and output of data, where data are originally coming from, and the overall timeline of each piece of data. One of the reasons blockchain is so popular is that it clearly shows the data lineage of financial transactions with full transparency, without third parties like banks passing it through hidden black boxes. Many consumers do not realize this is a benefit they can get from data lineage. When artificial intelligence is included in a system, it might also be essential to distinguish the differences between human decisions and non-human A.I. decisions, so we can know the true authors or decision makers, and whether they can be trusted and accountable. This could be particularly critical for the integrity of government or corporate decision documents.  Tune in to this episode so you can be better participant of this cyber world today!

NCF-354 Branding to Attract Investment

Welcome back to New Cyber Frontier! On this episode, we have a former guest, Dr. Subhash Paluru, the Chief Executive Officer of Freedom Motors, Inc., and a former senior executive at the U.S. Department of Energy.  Freedom Motors has been in business for twenty-two years, and Dr Paluru has drastically improved mass-manufacturing.  We are also excited that Dr. Paluru is now on the Board of Directors of BlockFrame, Inc., and adds his extensive knowledge of cyber security.  In all new companies, branding is essential to encourage investments into the company and its products. Dr. Paluru says, “The inventor will always believe the product is going to change the world.  That is excellent motivation, but there also has to be awareness and research behind it.”  Turning an idea into a company brand takes extremely hard work and dedication, but it also needs flexibility and creativity to increase the marketing and longevity of the company.  Learn how you can attract customers and investors to your brand in today's episode!

NCF-353 Preparing Cyber Startups for Investor Engagement

In this episode, we speak with guest Peter Daneyko Co-Founder of KoreChain, about raising capital for startups. This topic is challenging for cybersecurity companies often due to the technical nature and difficulty in relaying the value of new technology. The investment community has very established lingo, norms, and expectations, which are often foreign to newcomers. Great ideas for technology may not correlate directly to the patterns anticipated by the finance industry, so we take some time today to provide cybersecurity practitioners with some invaluable financial incite. Guest Mr. Daneyko has supported over 200 companies raise money to support growth. Daneyko expresses that the way to transition from an early startup to a scalable company is to educate early to understand what to expect when reaching a growth stage. We talk about some questions such as “How to determine the amount of money you want to raise?  What are the different options for debt or equity? What are the differences between Reg-CF, Reg-A, B & C? What regulations apply to my company?. How do I get noticed or reach the investment community?”. This is a great conversation for a startup company that does not have that much exposure but has great technology. This show is a good starting point for "Capital Raise 101" or just to understand some of the finance industry lingo.  Thanks to Mr. Daneyko for this invaluable incite and you will not want to miss this episode of New Cyber Frontier.

NCF-352 Renewable Energy Effects on Critical Infrastructure

For our show today we are joined by Slade Griffin President at Contextual Security Solutions and a lifelong veteran of the Energy Cybersecurity industry. Our guest brought up the topic "How effective is our renewable energy infrastructure". After over a decade of renewable energy buildout in the United States, we can see solar panels on countless residences, we see miles of shiny panels as we travel down our super highways, and hundreds of miles of windmills across the US central and western states. With all of this new infrastructure, how are we doing in comparison to our power availability and energy supply now vs before. Many of us can make that assessment for ourselves and the answer would probably be the same as our guest. He says there are more shortages and rolling blackouts now than before. Is this a factor or cybersecurity, or some other forces? Listen to Mr. Griffin and Dr. Gorog debate some points where things may be difficult and some also that may be improved. Thanks for joining on this look into the security and growth factors related shift of our critical infrastructure toward renewable energy.

NCF-351 Contrasting Consumer Security Needs

In this episode of the New Cyber Frontier Podcast, we have Guest Dominic Paulo, who represents those who are not well versed in cyber security, but may be considered educated consumers of technology. We have asked Mr. Paulo to join to lend a voice of an engaged but cautious technologist and discuss some trends he sees with Blockchain Technology. Mr. Paulo has taken some time to explore what may be a normal place for those in the cyber industry, and give his opinion on where he believes the future is heading for blockchain and data mining. He, like many, questions the current trend of processing large volumes of data and its requirement for significant computational power and energy. As many consumers are conscious of the environment. they can see the trends of increasing infrastructure supporting data mining operations use of fossil fuels most certainly will lead to a less than positive outcome for everyone, Mr. Paulo comments on his evaluation of what he has seen in our hosts Dr. Gorog’s latest work, He asks some difficult questions, but then resolves to say he wants to see the ideals behind this work be successful. To implement blockchain without flaws of scalability, that does not destroy the environment and fulfills the needs of transactions like medical records and other data would be absolutely groundbreaking. The thought that users could have control over your digital privacy is also one of the most important things the average person desires.” Tune in to see how this average digital citizen views his security needs.

NCF-347 Cyber Physical Security

Welcome back, everybody, to New Cyber Frontier. In today’s Episode we have guest Eslam Tawfik Ph.D. .Dr Tawfik. studied advanced technology in Egypt. Cybersecurity is frequently used to describe the defense of digital networks, systems, and data against harm, unwanted access, and attacks. On the other hand, protecting the hardware and infrastructure that underpin digital systems is referred to as the physical part of cybersecurity. Securing the Root of Trust is a term you will hear throughout the talk, this is what Dr. Tawfik, explains as the set of underlying credentials that the security in each device depends upon. Cyber Physical security as you will hear also includes defending against different attacks to hardware devices, server rooms, data centers, and network connections, among other physical assets. Organizations can establish a more comprehensive security posture to safeguard their digital assets and infrastructure from various threats by incorporating physical security considerations with traditional cybersecurity procedures. Listen to this fascinating episode where our guest provides some insight that will resonate with many of you interested in the security of IoT and Critical Infrastructure systems.
