It has changed in terms of improvement, but it's a cat-and-mouse game and the threat actors are also improving so we have to adapt. It's not just a one-and-done. ‘I've done my security. I'm done with it. I'm not going to think about it.' It's more so, ‘Okay, can we revise this now that the threat actors are evolving? What can we do to just stay ahead of the needle?'

Here we are, once again from the bustling show floor at Infosecurity Europe 2024 in London, situated at the Excel Centre. Sean Martin of ITSP Magazine is your host, and he's joined by Dror Liwer, co-founder of CORO Security. Both are excited to dive deep into how CORO is expanding its focus into the European market.Day Three: Nonstop Conversations and PresentationsFrom the get-go, Dror shares his enthusiasm about being part of this prestigious event for the first time. With a primary presence in the U.S., CORO is now aggressively moving into EMEA, starting right here in London. This move is in response to increasing demand from small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Europe who need robust cybersecurity solutions.Addressing the Security Needs of SMEsSean recalls the comprehensive capabilities of CORO discussed in previous episodes. CORO provides multiple layers of security tailored to an organization's specific needs, such as regulatory requirements, budget, and staffing capabilities. Sean encourages everyone to revisit those insightful seven-minute chats from RSA Conference to get an in-depth view.Dror emphasizes that CORO is unique in targeting the mid-market from the ground up, unlike other companies that retrofit enterprise solutions to fit smaller businesses. With a focus on simplicity and powerful protection, CORO ensures that its solutions are manageable even for lean IT teams.Navigating the Complexities of EuropeOne of the significant discussions revolves around the differences between the U.S. and European markets. While Sean and Dror acknowledge the similar types of cyber threats faced globally, operational nuances like data residency and privacy regulations differ widely across Europe. CORO has established a data center in Germany to comply with local data residency requirements, ensuring that email and file inspections stay within the EU boundaries.Real-World Applications and ChallengesSean drives the conversation into the specific challenges CORO has faced and the different attack scenarios in Europe compared to the U.S. Dror mentions that while SME awareness of being targets has been prevalent in the U.S. for a while, European SMEs are just beginning to realize the same. As a result, CORO is educating this market about the imminent threats and how to efficiently protect against them without becoming overwhelmed.The Importance of AffordabilityDror and Sean discuss the financial challenges faced by SMEs, such as difficult decisions on whether to invest in cybersecurity or other critical needs like educational resources. Dror emphasizes that CORO has priced its suite of security solutions to remove this barrier, making comprehensive coverage affordable for even the smallest enterprises.Team and Technology: The Backbone of COROThe conversation takes a moment to appreciate CORO's dedicated team. Sean praises the high energy and mutual support visible at CORO's booth. Dror points out that customer reviews often highlight how easy it is to work with CORO—a testimony to the company's dedication to protecting overlooked small and mid-sized businesses.The Future of SME CybersecurityCORO aims to remove the guesswork ("threat roulette”) for SMEs by providing an all-encompassing platform that is accessible and easy to manage. This approach ensures that small businesses can protect themselves comprehensively without the need to prioritize between different threat vectors due to budget constraints.CORO's MissionAs the conversation winds down, Dror reiterates CORO's mission to protect SMEs globally and make cybersecurity as effortless as possible. Sean encourages attendees of Infosecurity Europe to visit CORO's dynamic and innovative booth, and for those who cannot make it, to check out CORO online.

The Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity (NICE Framework) (NIST Special Publication 800-181, revision 1) provides a set of building blocks for describing the Tasks, Knowledge, and Skills (TKS) that are needed to perform cybersecurity work by individuals or teams. Through these building blocks, the NICE Framework enables organizations to develop their workforces to perform cybersecurity work, and it helps learners to explore cybersecurity work and to engage in appropriate learning activities to develop their knowledge and skills. On this Special Edition podcast, N2K CyberWire's Dave Bittner is joined by the team at NIST and FIU's Jack D. Gordon Institute for Public Policy to delve into the history of the NICE Framework through its latest update and looking into the future. Brian Fonseca, Director at the Jack D. Gordon Institute for Public Policy, shares an introduction to the NICE Framework. Karen Wetzel, NICE Framework Manager, discusses the updates to the framework. Rodney Petersen, Director of NICE, talks about what these updates mean to cybersecurity education's future.

When I first got involved in “information security” 20+ years ago, I found myself almost entirely surrounded by industry peers whose training and experience was in technology or technology disciplines. My training in law, marketing and finance, and my experience in business development, marketing, recruitment and even a stint in purchasing and supplies all seemed out of line with the world of IT security as it was called back then. As I came to understand, during my own research in human behaviour and culture, my lack of an education in technology meant I was culturally and even physically wired differently. This meant I looked at things through a different set of lenses. The result, was an approach that we would now call governance, risk and compliance. However, it was these very human disciplines, which led me to fundamentally think differently when it came to kicking off the Re-thinking the Human Factor research programme. Our guest Lana McGill, to me, enshrines the change in direction of an increasing number of forward thinking security professionals looking for a more mature approach to employee awareness, behaviour and culture. Lana believes that by diversifying their search for skills and experience, outside of the traditional industry expectations, you can bring new insights and energy to the challenge of influencing employee behaviour and culture. Her role as a senior information security leader, in the finance sector, and her willingness to embrace other skills and experiences in the search for more effective interventions, gives hope that the industry inertia, when it comes to the human factor, may finally be shifting. ©Copyright Marmalade Box Limited The content of this podcast is the property of Marmalade Box Limited.

FC has gone through extreme adversity and has come out stronger on the other side. He grew up in a very negative environment, which unfortunately led to the development of complex PTSD. But from that emerged a unique talent, one that is both a gift and a curse: hypervigilance. He refused to allow his past define him and instead, leveraged the state of increased alertness to fuel his passion for security. FC talks with us about his breakthrough into ethical hacking and physical security assignments, his 100% success rate at breaking into banks and other highly secured government facilities, the reason physical security engagements are NOT helpful to the business, uniting digital/physical/human-factor for optimal security, and the risk of investing in new tech. FC also details some truly insane stories, including the time he kidnapped the guard at a facility protected by ex-military Gurkhas. Finally, he reveals his advice for aspiring hackers and details on his soon to be released book, "How I Rob Banks: And Other Such Places".

In an effort to diversify the cybersecurity talent pool and improve cybersecurity literacy, CYBER.ORG created Project Access, a nationwide effort designed to expand access to cybersecurity education for blind and vision impaired students between the ages of 13-21 who are in pre-employment transition (Pre-ETS). Through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's Cybersecurity Education and Training Assistance Program (CETAP) grant, CYBER.ORG pioneered a series of camps this past summer in Arkansas, Maine, Virginia, and Michigan to introduce blind and vision impaired students to key cybersecurity topics, help them develop cybersecurity skills, and explore the possibility of a career in a growing industry. This is one of CYBER.ORG's efforts to improve diversity and inclusion in the cybersecurity industry – starting with K-12 students.
