For this episode, instead of tapping into one source for feedback and updates on industrial cybersecurity, we're going to look at some of the key insights previous guests have offered on the evolving threat landscape – from increased risks emanating from technological integrations and an uptick in automation, to the more traditional adversaries responsible for next-generation malware, ransomware and phishing schemes. To kick things off, we'll hear from:Tom Marsland, VP of Technology for Cloud Range as he discusses threats to our infrastructure and state-sponsored groups from China.(3:31) He'll be followed by Cyberhoot's Craig Taylor as he updates us on phishing schemes.(5:45) And then we'll hear from Jon Taylor at Versa Networks as he talks about strategies bad actors are taking in targeting legacy industrial control systems. While many of those topics are already at the top of our list of concerns, there are also a number of evolving threats that warrant an uptick in resources – from both a financial and skillset development perspective. We'll dive into comments from:(9:26) Corsha's Anusha Iyer as she discusses supply chain and dwelling attacks.(15:33) Venafi's Kevin Bocek and his take on embedded software vulnerabilities and how hackers are taking advantage of them.(22:18) Baker Tilly's Jeff Krull offers an update on the evolving complexity of ransomware groups and how they're targeting the industrial sector.(25:20) And finally, let's wrap up with one of my favorite guests we've ever had on Security Breach – researcher Jeremiah Fowler. He'll offer some insight on a number of unique, embedded threats and some of the lessons he's learned in tangling with state-sponsored Russian hackers.As a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.

Maybe you're sick of hearing about phishing schemes and the way hackers are using this strategy to infiltrate your networks, access intellectual data, shut down production, or hold your assets for ransom. If that's the case, then you've made a lot of hackers very happy.And based on Proofpoint's 2024 State of Phish report, protecting against phishing schemes is simply not being reinforced or given the proper priority. For example,71% of surveyed users admitted to taking a risky action, and 96% knew they were doing something risky when interacting with email or text messages.85% of security professionals said that most employees know they are responsible for security, but 59% of employees weren't sure or claimed that they're not responsible.Furthermore, 24% admitted to responding to emails or text messages from someone they don't know, and 19% clicked on links in emails from people they don't know.Finally, 73% of surveyed companies reported a business email compromise, but only 29% are actively teaching users about BEC attacks. To address these and other phishing attack dynamics, I sat down with Craig Taylor, co-founder of Cyberhoot, a leading provider of phishing prevention solutions. Watch/listen as we discuss:How hackers are going after session tokens to steal valuable credential data.Why phishing prevention training spends too much time on avoiding the click instead of positive reinforcement of proper actions.The need for worker training to go beyond any impact to the company, to the individual cyber risks as well.How adding "friction" to email could be a solution.The bad password advice that many high-level organizations continue to distribute.As a go-to podcast for our listeners, we want to help you align your brand with our expertise.

Over the past twenty-plus episodes, we inevitably get around to talking about people. In episode 22, "Cybersecurity Still Comes Down To People", only reinforces the need to hear what my guest, Craig Taylor of Cyberhoot has to say. We talk about educating the unwilling when it comes to cybersecurity but it is so much bigger than that. Join us as we discuss the finer points of vendors who provide products that aren't set to a security state as a default, Frameworks that might include the need to protect data and provide training to staff but don't think it's important enough to be number one priority. Thanks again to our sponsor Pinpoint Solutions, LLC, and our partner MSP-Ignite for making this happen.

Craig found inspiration when a client had a phishing attack that caused an employee to purchase $26K on gift cards based on an email.  The problem was obvious and he set out to create training that is easy to use and for end users to consume.
