The world was shocked when Equifax announced that 143 million people's Social Security numbers were compromised, and everyone asked how did this happen? But they are not the only ones to suffer a comprise in data security. Many other firms have had data breachs, even though we only hear about the big ones. In 2017, PwC interviewed 9,600 firms globally and found that 41% of them had experienced at least one security incident in the past year For many leaders and companies these figures should make it clear that securing corporate data is a must, it is no longer just an option. But the challenge is that the hackers are getting more and more sophisticated, and it is not just about technology, it is about of social engineering. Therefore, Cyber security must be deeply embedded in every aspect of your business. This episode looks at cyber security from the mind of a hacker and security expert who will help you understand what you need to do to protect your business.
Amanda Berlin (@InfoSystir), Wik (@jaimefilson), David Cybuck (@dpcybuck), April Wright (@aprilwright), and Dave Chronister (@bagomojo) join me on the live EIS panel at ShowMeCon, June 7, 2018. This is the first panel I've ever done for the podcast. It went so well, I hope to do more in the future. We cover a variety of topics and have a few laughs.
What comes to your mind when I say “hacking”? What comes to your mind when I say “hacker”? It's likely very different to each of you. But would you ever consider hacking to be ethical? In this episode we discuss some hacking history, the different types of hackers (white hat, grey hat and black hat), some ways in which hackers exploit vulnerabilities in systems, applications and networks, social engineering, and some simple ways in which many hackers can be blocked from your systems and data. Our guest, Dave Chronister, a professional hacker and business owner, also describes some fascinating hacking experiences of his own, and offers some thought-provoking insights into what would be considered as good versus bad hacking activities. Plus, hear tips for businesses and the general public to keep from being a hacking victim.

ShowMeCon is one of my favorite security conferences. The organizers are awesome and take care of their speakers like no other conference. The venue is fantastic. The content is mind blowing. I can't say enough good things about the even that Dave and Renee Chronister put on every year in St. Louis, Missouri. They know how to put on a conference. Regular listeners of the podcast will note that I recorded an episode with Dave on ShowMeCon several weeks ago. After that recording he asked if I was interested in doing a recording at the conference. I said yes and thus the birth of this epic episode. This format is experimental. First, it is marked as explicit, because there is swearing. Second, It's over 90 minutes long. I didn't think breaking it up into four or five pieces would serve the recording well. Send me your feedback good or bad on this episode, because I'd like to do more of these. I would really like to hear it for this episode.
