Tuesday Feb 13, 2018
Tuesday Feb 13, 2018
Individualized Privacy, is the term which best describes the topic for today show. Out Guest David Kruger The CTO of Absio speaks with our co-host Abe about the direction for the future of privacy controls. The European Union has been leading the way with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This regulation is very restrictive and imposes some steep penalties on companies who allow the release of Personally Identifying Information (PII).
Mr Kruger s company Absio offers an easy to use tool for software developers to design privacy controls on their data. This technology which has been optimized by Absio for several years is in many ways ahead of the market. But GDPR may be just the driver needed to expedite the individualized privacy era. Company cannot afford the steep fines that the EU will impose for infractions on individual privacy. Listen to learn more about GDPR and some solutions you can look into.

Tuesday Feb 06, 2018
What is required for Cloud Security? For many of us the Cloud is a mystic creature that we use to store data and to perform operations, but if we were asked to define it, we would be at a loss. Today's Guest Abel Sussman Director with Coalfire's Cyber risk advisory services, shed some light on Cloud and requirements for Securing the Cloud.
Abel discusses FedRAMP requirements, and how companies can become compliant with the requirements to be a government cloud services provider. FedRAMP is a government-wide program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. Our discussion today was definitely one that I learned a lot from, as it is not an everyday topic for most of us.
Thanks for being on the show Abel, and explaining to us what you do at Coalfire.

NCF-61 Cyber Security for Ships on the Ocean with CIMSEC
Tuesday Jan 23, 2018
Tuesday Jan 23, 2018
As we explore the age of automation, one can imagine a time when ships on the ocean are no longer manned by people. Our guest today, Nick Anderson of the Center for International Maritime Security (CIMSEC) tells us that a day when most of the ships on the ocean are unmanned, may be closer to a reality than a day when the majority of vehicles operate without drivers. Large relatively slow operations of ships are a natural fit for automated controls.
When a ship is automated, the communications and control of them becomes extremely critical as they become targets of electronic hijacking. CIMSEC is working to implement and oversee the security related to ocean going vessels. Hear as we discuss the challenges and give some insight into a world that many of us may never have given a second thought.

BlackNight Cyber brings us some valuable information on how to avoid some of the high cost of top dollar penetration testers. Some of their competition may not like the free advice they give on todays show, but I think you will enjoy it. Today's guest Josh Stinson and Jeramie Crabtree, tell us to "stop and do these top 10 things" before calling that high priced penetration tester.
1) Know your business risks and identify your information crown jewels
2) Identify basic vulnerabilities using free version of Nessus
3) Identify what regulation is related to your business and how do you stand vs required thresholds.
4) Check that you do not use default Logins on: cameras, printers, routers, wireless networks
5) Determine if you use older Operating systems that are not supported by Microsoft: Vista or older will cause large amounts of time spent making penetration testing reports
6) Check for unknown wireless access points
7) Know your plan for "bring your own device" (BYOD)
8) Have an employee connected, informed, and attending CISO organization events
9) Connect with and attend local ISSA Chapter, ISC2 or NCC events
10) Subscribe to Cyberwire, HackFive, New Cyber Frontier, or other Cyber education series
We thank both of our guest and company BlackNight for the valuable direction on do-it-yourself actions to save us all some valuable resources.
