Students: this is a hybrid event. You are strongly encouraged to attend in-person. Location:  STEW G52 (Suite 050B) WL Campus.  Everyone knows that multi-factor authentication (MFA) is more secure than a simple login name and password, but too many people think that MFA is a perfect, unhackable solution. It isn't! I can send you a regular phishing email and completely take control of your account even if you use a super-duper MFA token or smartphone app. I can hack ANY MFA solution at least a handful of different ways, although some forms of MFA are more resilient than others. Attend this presentation and learn the 12+ ways hackers can and do get around your favorite MFA solution. The presentation will include a (pre-filmed) hacking demo and real-life successful examples of every attack type. It will end by telling you how to better defend your MFA solution so that you get maximum benefit and security. About the speaker: Roger A.

In episode 77 of Cybersecurity Where You Are, co-hosts Sean Atkinson and Tony Sager are joined by Roger Grimes, Data-Driven Defense Evangelist at KnowBe4. Together, they discuss how to use data to inform your decision-making in cybersecurity. They begin by discussing the cybersecurity industry's lack of maturity in its use of data. From there, they explore the risks of not using data to make cybersecurity decisions. In Tony's words, the cybersecurity industry doesn't have to accept "perfection is the enemy of the good" as its paradigm. When we understand the data with which we can work, we can frame the information in a way to strengthen the cybersecurity posture of our respective organizations.ResourcesFollow Roger on LinkedInA Data-Driven Computer Security Defense: THE Computer Security Defense You Should Be UsingCybersecurity at Scale: Piercing the Fog of MoreKnown Exploited Vulnerabilities CatalogEpisode 60: Guiding Vendors to IoT Security by DesignEpisode 75: How GenAI Continues to Reshape CybersecurityFighting Phishing: Everything You Can Do to Fight Social Engineering and PhishingIf you have some feedback or an idea for an upcoming episode of Cybersecurity Where You Are, let us know by emailing podcast@cisecurity.org.

Social engineering has become so creative and clever with the ways scammers are trying to infiltrate your world. AI and deep fakes are only going to make things worse. Over the past 30 years, fighting viruses and malware has only increased with no end in sight. Today's guest is Roger Grimes. Roger is a Data-Driven Defense Evangelist for KnowBe4. He is a 34-year computer security expert and an author of 14 books and over 1,300 articles on computer security. Show Notes: [1:06] - Roger shares his background and his drive to continue writing in the field of computer security. [3:17] - In his career as an accountant, Roger found himself more interested in the computer side of things. [7:45] - Things have gotten worse every year. Ransomware has attacked hospitals and law enforcement in addition to personal devices. [10:21] - In many cases, older devices are very hard to replace. [11:44] - Most employees of a company don't know how devices work when it comes to security and things go without updates and patches. [15:10] - Some companies are getting better about making sure products are set to auto-patch. [16:20] - Social engineering is involved in about 70-90% of all successful hacks. [17:23] - Compromised credentials is another common way hackers are easily able to gain access to accounts. [19:38] - Social engineering is all about getting you to perform an action that is harmful to yourself or your organization. [19:50] - Three qualities to look for: unexpected, asking you to do something you've never done before, asking you to do something harmful. [21:12] - If something has those qualities, slow down before clicking anything within an email. [23:26] - Really good scammers will prepare you for the scam. [25:06] - It is hard to retrain yourself to think about these things during any communication. [27:14] - People shouldn't get in trouble with their organization for taking precautions. [29:47] - Scammers prey on vulnerable populations, including the elderly. [32:10] - Always remember that no legitimate organization accepts payments in gift cards. [34:10] - The best we can do right now is educate people to help prevent successful scammers. There's no stopping it. [36:04] - Try to use a MFA that is phishing resistant. [38:55] - Roger shares the experience of his fingerprints being stolen. [41:20] - Security questions are surprisingly guessable in a lot of situations. Your password might not be guessable, but the security questions aren't always secure. [44:31] - Roger shares some data about patches and what is important to remember. [48:31] - Roger sets a time every few months where he sits down and changes every single one of his passwords. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Hello everyone and welcome back. In this episode, we are here with Roger Grimes, Data-Driven Defense Evangelist at KnowBe4, cybersecurity architect, and Author.   Roger first made his debut on the podcast in 2020, when he unlocked the truth and disproved assumptions about multifactor authentication. We are excited to welcome Roger back to discuss his new book, "Ransomware Protection Playbook," in which he outlines a practical roadmap to protect your networks against one of the most insidious and damaging cyber threats, ransomware!  In today's episode, learn why the Zero Trust method is the future of computer security and how ransomware attacks better equip companies for future attacks. Be a part of our discussion as we uncover the secrets behind cryptocurrencies, Web 3.0, NFTs, cybercriminal safe havens, dynamic DNS services, network access brokers, and AI bots.  Are you ready to explore the uncharted territories of the dark web? We sure are. Listen in today.   As a CIO and Business IT Leader here are some wins you will get by listening: Roger (6:11): Technological advancements exist that make the internet more secure. Why do people need to agree to and utilize them to prevent cyber-attacks we should've seen coming?  Roger (8:03): Who is Kevin Mitnick and why is he the most infamous hacker of our time?  Roger (11:07): The benefit of offensive penetration and how this provides better advice to keep cyber-attacks away.  Roger (13:10): The truth about cryptocurrencies, Web 3.0, and NFTs.  Roger (14:00): Secrets behind cryptocurrency transactions and money laundering.  Roger (18:00): Cybercriminal safe havens do exist! What measures can users take to protect themselves against cybercrime?  Roger (21:30): How nuclear programs are funded with stolen ransomware and cryptocurrency.  Roger (22:00): Ransomware on Windows machines checks for coded languages in Russian, Cyrillic, Ukrainian, and other deviations. Learn why setting as a second language on your Windows machines can protect against ransomware.  Roger (24:00): The ransomware industry is considered the malware industry. Ransomware is a subclass of malware.   Roger (26:00): The dangers that network access brokers create through secret deals that are happening behind the scenes.  Roger (33:00): What is dynamic DNS services and why is it a solution for fixing the internet's malicious attacks?  Roger (35:00): What is Zero Trust and is this method the future of computer security?  Roger (35:30): "Zero Trust" is a mentality that says we are not going to trust you simply because you authenticated correctly.  Roger (38:30): Cyber threats are increasing due to the automation of artificial intelligence bots.  Roger (51:00): The majority of attacks are client-side attacks that get past the firewall, past the antivirus, and past the VPN. Zero Trust says you don't trust anybody, even those claiming to be Zero Trust.  Roger (52:00): Zero trust is about evaluating a user's behavior and other characteristics. From those behaviors, a rating takes place. If the rating is above the risk threshold, the system aims to block you or will ask for additional information.  Roger (56:30): How ransomware forced companies to be better by revealing to organizations what they needed to be protected from or by showing the great secure backups they had in place.    Resources  Ransomware Protection (Book)  Kevin Mitnick  Hacking Multifactor Authentication  Whitepapers called Fix the Internet.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is usually considered a better solution for authentication than just using passwords. But Roger Grimes, a veteran security professional, and a Data-Driven Defense Evangelist claims that the sense of security current MFA solutions provides us - is false.
