Fraud Not Frog Podcast with Matt Christensen

Remember when we laughed at having a home appliance taken over by hackers and then it happened. Now we're dealing smart cars that have insecure tech built in to even the entry level trims. Think about this...You're driving in your new car, loaded with tech (insecure spoiler alert).It starts to veer right and then left (not new, this happened in 2015).Now you're at a stop light and your breaks are stuck but your gas is to the floor. Smoke starts entering the cabin.Engine catches fire. Flame on.Doors lock and airbags pop without any impact.Now all other smart cars around you are doing the same thing.Hundreds of cars completely pwnd, driving into each other without any ability for driver to correct.Zombie apocalypse? No but definitely a zombie attack and not too far distant out there either.How? Well, primarily because we know security gets baked in after production line is running.But it's not just the car manufactures problem to solve.There's several parties that all need to yoke up.Join AJ Khan, a Cybersecurity Leader, Entrepreneur, Author and Speaker at the 2020 CyberCraft Summit to hear him talk about his predictions and what needs to be done to prevent casualty of life.2020 CyberCraft Summit If listening to this before 10/1/2020, register for the CyberCraft summit for free here.

Ben Allen, Owner of Allen Forensics, talks through his presentation on Digital stewardship: Dynamics of How people protect money.The world has gone digital and Companies continue to spend billions of dollars on cybersecurity. Yet as the investments have grown, the financial consequences of cyber breach have increased.Cybersecurity is a people problem, not a technology problem. Cyber threats are constantly changing, and we have seen cases where employees bypass cybersecurity controls because they interfered with their number-one priority, getting their work done. We need to focus on the motivation, incentives and priorities of the individuals who maintain or play a role in the company’s cyber defense. This is the approach of a company that wants to win the fight on cyber threats. The ultimate consequence of a cyber breach is financial loss; this can be direct or indirect. Hence, a culture of digital stewardship is critical as it has the capacity to position and propel people to steward digital assets in order to avoid financial loss. The human element in cybersecurity cannot be overemphasized.If it’s Digital, it must be critical.Connect with Ben Allen on LinkedinLearn more about Allen Forensics here.2020 CyberCraft Summit If listening to this before 10/1/2020, register for the CyberCraft summit for free here.

One of the greatest challenges to cybersecurity and anti-fraud professionals is creating business understanding, with the laypeople caring enough to do something with the findings. As taking action otherwise interrupts normal schedules for catastrophes not-yet-happened, finding balance on-balance is difficult. Before foreheads are flatter and clothing rended, take solace with a cyber sherpa who’s helped the business and clients avoid millions of dollars (or cents) in potential heists from occurring.Steve, or Landes as he prefers due to the other plethora of other anti-fraud/cyber Steve's, answers the question of why cyber and anti-fraud belong as a combined effort.

There aren’t many security professionals who’ve had the breadth of experience reflected in John McClurg’s resume. The BlackBerry SVP and CISO spent his early career with the United States government, serving as both a supervisory special agent and branch chief for the FBI as well as a deputy branch chief for the CIA. In these roles, McClurg was involved in the capture of both Kevin Poulsen, the former black-hat hacker, and the CIA double-agent Harold James Nicholson. Following his public service, he served as a vice-president and Chief Security Officer for Lucent, Honeywell, and Dell before coming to Cylance and now BlackBerry.Keynote: The New Reality: Bringing Order to Chaos with Unified Endpoint SecurityWe’re poised to deliver a new reality across devices, networks, apps, and people leveraging AI, machine learning and automation.Fireside chat: “Of Cabbages & Kings”: The New Security & How AI is Liberating UsReactive Detection & Perimeter Trust.

Whether we are fighting hackers from stealing data or money or fraudsters from stealing data and money, we are one team. Yet, somehow, the anti-fraud and cybersecurity industries remain siloed and isolated. It's time to bridge that gap and work together.I've consulted with both small and Fortune businesses and seen the disparity, overlapping technologies, under-utilized tools and duplicated processes. I've attended more conferences than I care to admit where I left more discouraged than inspired.How is it that these two industries compete against rather than collaborate with each other?Some up and coming vendors are catching on but the private and public sector are way behind.It's time to bridge the gap and marry these two industries.Welcome https://www.cybercraftsummit.com - Register for Free today.

Every now and then, I come across a reformed fraudster whose story is worth telling to the world through this podcast. Not everyone can travel to a conference or pay to bring a keynote to help train investigators and business owners.Tom Hughes started as an accountant, stole, stole again (and again) and eventually got caught. I learned that he almost got caught on his first embezzlement but thwarted the interview because he knew the auditors didn't have all the facts. That led to him stealing for many more years until eventually getting caught.Tom doesn't blame that auditor for his crimes. He blames himself. He has owned his mistakes and now is on a mission (literally) to help others prevent fraud before it occurs.Connect with Tom on Linkedin Visit Tom's website Connect with host Matt Christensen on LinkedinCheck out our awesome and affordable CPE training on fraudnotfrog.comSupport the show (http://patreon.com/fraudnotfrog)

In January 2020, I posted a link on Linkedin within our Anti-Fraud community asking the question if people supported receiving training from former (reformed) fraudsters or if they felt that helped further the fraudsters platform. The response was huge. Over 8400+ views in just a few days with a variety of comments. Though, I will say, it seemed that more were in favor of it than against it. I get into several of the comments left by many of you, our listeners, and then offer my position. I also mention a course that I created with convicted and reformed fraudster Nathan Mueller. It's unlike anything you have seen or would expect. It's a raw and real video monologue format where you feel like your in the interview room with Nathan as he describes every aspect of his story, from childhood, to college, his first job and how he stole his first $1100. He speaks about prison, post-sentencing and offers what I believe to be valuable insights for fraud investigators, auditors, law enforcement and all learners of anti-fraud.
