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.

NCF-345 Sustainability of Cybersecurity in the AI Era

Welcome back, to the New Cyber Frontier Podcast with our hosts Tim Montgomery and Dr. Gorog. In the final episode of the eight-part series, Tim provides a direct inquisitive dialog with Dr. Gorog regarding his dissertation work in distributed trust. What distribution of trust means to the average person is a bit Shakey as the coining of Zero-trust has made the topic somewhat of a fuzzy concept. "Trust and zero-trust are one of the hot catch phrases, now everyone claims alignment to the Zero-trust pillars" but what does that mean?  Listen to the discussion on the distribution of trust as our hosts break down the major problem with trust which is how to scale to everyone in the digital age.  Gorog says… "for the first-time scalable frameworks for trust are possible. Solving for sustainability, has been key, now the future may drastically change when digital content and sources of data can be trusted. Sustainability means providing some order in the digital free-for-all environment with governance. What the future has in store, is measuring the quality of data, based on its origin and handling. Data quality is key as we move to rapid volume creation of data from AI. Ethical practices and quality data lineage are the new differentiators. He says "The required AI companion will undoubtedly be trusted data lineage solutions" Dr. Gorog explains that we need to paint a new picture of the future of the digital age with more ethical viewpoints.

NCF-344 Protecting your Data Wealth

 

Welcome back everybody to the New Cyber Frontier Podcast with our hosts Tim Montgomery and Dr. Gorog. In this seventh episode, we will continue on the next-generation post digital transformation philosophy looking at the lifecycle of our data. The discussion centers on the use of data and its importance to you as the owner/creator vs what your data means to others, and why we should all be aware of this when evaluating how applications we choose use our data. Dr. Gorog discusses some examples in Healthcare "How many times does your Fitbit send information to get collected by a web engine that has recorded your heart rate or blood pressure and location. What picture does that provide about your personal activities". Ensuring our data is used in a way that is best for us is something that we will all become competent at when we start to realize that they only thing we have to show for our virtual lives is the data it produces. Having accountability towards your data's use is power it is our currency of the future. The accumulation of our life's efforts and the future of data management could provide you not only ability to protect it but also earn your right to a small compensation instead of giving it away.
