Cyber hygiene, CMMC, and ransomware – oh my! – we unpack the state of the current cyber threat landscape with Kurtis Minder, CEO and founder of GroupSense, a digital risk protection agency with expertise across a variety of digital risk arenas. A variety of factors contributed to the steep rise in ransomware attacks across the past several years, including the growth in cryptocurrency and a global pandemic creating more lax security procedures for many moving to home networks. Minder discussed how threat actors are expanding their reach into the government's supply chain, what companies and agencies can do to make themselves less vulnerable, and how to address the current shortage in cybersecurity talent.

Dave and Joe share some follow up on Elon Musk after his big purchase and the changes that now follow. Joe's story follows Kalamazoo County residents and a new scam that is popping up, where they are being targeted by scammers through Facebook messenger video calls. Dave shares a story that hits home for him about an email that his father received from Best Buy claiming that he will be charged $500 for Geek Squad services. Our catch of the day comes from an anonymous listener who writes in to share an email they received from a Mrs. Phong Dung, who wants to send 1 million to the person who received the email.

Lock and Code
Calling in the ransomware negotiator, with Kurtis Minder

Ransomware can send any company into crisis.  Immediately following an attack, the notoriously disruptive malware can spread across networks and machines, locking up important files and rendering vital data almost useless for all employees. As we learned in a previous episode of Lock and Code, a ransomware attack not only threatens an organization's clients and external customers, but all the internal teams who are just trying to do their jobs. When Northshore School District was hit several years ago by ransomware, teacher and staff pay were threatened, and children's school lunches needed to be reworked because the payment system had been wiped out. These threats are not new. If anything, the potential damage and fallout of a ransomware attack is more publicly known than ever before, which might explain why a new form of ransomware response has emerged in the past year—the ransomware negotiator. Increasingly, companies are seeking the help of ransomware negotiators to handle their response to a ransomware attack. The negotiator, or negotiators, can work closely with a company's executives, security staff, legal department, and press handlers to accurately and firmly represent the company's needs during a ransomware attack. Does the company refuse to pay the ransom because of policy? The ransomware negotiator can help communicate that. Is the company open to paying, but not the full amount demanded? The negotiator can help there, too. What if the company wants to delay the attackers, hoping to gain some much-needed time to rebuild systems? The negotiator will help there, too.  Today, on the Lock and Code podcast with host David Ruiz, we speak with Kurtis Minder, CEO of the cyber reconnaissance company GroupSense about the intricate work of ransomware negotiation. Minder himself has helped clients with ransomware negotiation and his company has worked to formalize ransomware negotiation training. In his experience, Minder has also learned that the current debate over whether companies should pay the ransom has too few options. For a lot of small and medium-sized businesses, the question isn't an ideological one, but an existential one: Pay the ransom or go out of business. "What you don't hear about is the thousands and thousands of small businesses in middle America, main street America—they get hit... they're either going to pay a ransom or they're going to go out of business." Tune in today to listen to Minder discuss how a company decides to engage a ransomware negotiator, what a ransomware negotiator's experience and background consist of, and what the actual work of ransomware negotiation involves.

    Coolness is an aesthetic of attitude, behavior, comportment, appearance and style which is generally admired. Because of the varied and changing connotations of cool, as well as its subjective nature, the word has no single meaning. It has associations of composure and self-control and often is used as an expression of admiration or approval. Although commonly regarded as slang, it is widely used among disparate social groups and has endured in usage for generations.  -- Wikipedia     On today's No Name Security Podcast, Matt Stephenson welcomes 3 people doing very cool things in a very cool industry… and… they happen to be to very cool people. Kurtis Minder is the co-founder and CEO at GroupSense, Tom Pace is the co-founder and CEO at NetRise and Scott Scheferman is the Chief Strategist at Eclypsium. They are each legendary incident response types who were at Black Hat for a multitude of reasons. Why were they there…? Stick around and find out!     About Kurtis Minder     Kurtis Minder (@kurtisminder) is the founder of GroupSense, a threat intelligence company. He leads a team of analysts and technologists providing custom cybersecurity intelligence to brands around the globe. The company's analysts conduct cyber research and reconnaissance and map the threats to client risk profiles. He arrived at GroupSense after more than 20 years in role-spanning operations, design and business development at companies such as Mirage Networks (acquired by Trustwave), Caymas Systems (acquired by Citrix) and Fortinet (IPO).     About Tom Pace       Tom Pace (@TommyPastry) is the co-founder and CEO of NetRise, an automated, cloud-based platform that provides comprehensive insight into the risks present in a firmware image.   Prior to founding NetRise, Tom spent 16 years working in security across multiple roles and disciplines. From serving in the United States Marine Corps, being responsible for ICS security within the Department of Energy and most recently serving as Global Vice President for Cylance, he has been a leader and innovator within cybersecurity. Tom has also responded to hundreds of security incidents globally and shared his experience at multiple security conferences such as RSA and Black Hat.     About Scott Scheferman     Scott Scheferman (@transhackerism) is the founder of Armanda Intelligence, LLC, with a mission of providing CxO/board advisement, strategy and threat intelligence.  He is also Principal Strategist for Eclypsium, Inc.   Scott keeps a hyper-current beat on the threat landscape and how it continues to fundamentally change business and mission cyber risk dynamics. Battle-hardened from years of red-teaming, incident response and cyber consulting, as well as having served as the technical lead and final security risk determination for the Navy's Certification Authority (thousands of systems per year, with over 800 validators and 30 risk analysts feeding these risk determinations), Scott draws his perspective from significant real-world high-stakes (multi-billion dollar programs and Fortune 10 enterprise) experience. If you want the truth about what is happening in the world of cybersecurity, Scott is a voice you want to be listening to. If you can't handle the truth… he may not be your guy… but that doesn't mean he won't keep telling it.     About Matt Stephenson     Matt Stephenson (@packmatt73) leads the Social Media team at Forescout, which puts me in front of people all over the world. Prior to joining Forescout, I hosted podcasts, videos and live events all over the world which put me with experts on every corner of the cybersecurity landscape. The new No Name Security Podcast will continue and expand upon that tradition as we seak out the leading minds in the security industry as well as those may break things every now again. And… just for fun, there will be some wildcard guests as well.   In 10 years in the ecosystem of Data Protection and Cybersecurity I have toured the world extolling the virtues of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning and how, when applied to information security, these technologies can wrong-foot the bad guys. Prior to the COVID shutdown, I was on the road over 100 days a year doing live malware demonstrations for audiences from San Diego to DC to London to Abu Dhabi to Singapore to Sydney. One of the funniest things I've ever been a part of was blowing up a live instance of NotPetya 6 hours after the news broke... in Washington DC... directly across the street from FBI HQ... as soon as we activated it a parade of police cars with sirens blaring roared past the building we were in. I'm pretty sure they weren't there for us, but you never know...   Whether at in person events, live virtual events or podcasting, I get to interview interesting people doing interesting things all over the world of cybersecurity and the extended world of hacking. Sometimes, that means hacking elections or the coffee supply chain... other times that means social manipulation or the sovereign wealth fund of a national economy.   Wherever I go, my job is all about talking with the people who build, manage or wreck the systems that we have put in place to make the world go round...     If you tuned in to any of my previous podcasts, there's great news!
