Podcast appearances and mentions of ian thornton trump

We open a new year and a new season with our friend, Ian Thornton-Trump, chief information security officer at the MSSP Inversion6 and in 30 minutes we take on some pretty meaty subjects. First we discuss how China strategically infiltrated technology systems in the US and other countries as a geopolitical message rather than attacks. He discusses the challenges of securing complex, interconnected systems and the need for proactive defense. Next we review the rise of corporate power and influence and how the increasing wealth and influence of individuals like Elon Musk is disrupting the traditional balance of power in democracies. The ethical concerns around wealthy individuals wielding disproportionate political influence could result in something the oligarchs are not expecting. Finally, we review potential trade wars and the possibility of Canada and Mexico joining the BRICS alliance. 2025 is going to be bumpy but very interesting.

The Money Laundering Machine: Inside the global crime epidemicIn this episode of the Cybersecurity & Geopolitical Discussion, our trio of hosts discuss paradoxes surrounding money laundering and the reasons it's so popular, particularly among well-establish organised criminal gangs.

In this episode of the Cybersecurity & Geopolitical Discussion, hosts Ian Thornton-Trump CD, CISO for Cyjax, Lisa Forte, Partner at Red Goat Security and Philip Ingram MBE, CEO of Grey Hare Media debate the geopolitical and security dimensions of The real space race: Inside geopolitics and security of a $1.8T industry. Our PODCAST is sponsored by CYJAX.

Broken China? China borders 14 countries and is the 4th largest country in the world and second largest in terms of population. It's very surprising to know so little about the Chinese even though western think tanks and news articles have written volumes. It's shocking that a county which is at the very enter of the global supply chain for nearly every other country in the world is enigmatic, challenging, and difficult to understand. Perhaps it's due to China being an officially atheist state with over 40% of the population identifying as agnostic or atheist? This is remarkably different from nearly any other country in the world as is the lack of ethnic diversity 91.6% identify as ethnically Han. China is different, or is it really? In this video podcast with Comrade Ian Thornton-Trump CD, CISO for Cyjax, Comrade Lisa Forte and Comrade Philip Ingram MBE we wave the Chinese flag passionately as we explore China. Lisa, was our woman on the ground who travelled the length and width of the region including rural Mongolia in -45 Celsius (-49 Fahrenheit) and visited Beijing as well as some rural villages - we can categorically state China has some of the best ice climbing opportunities in the world. The ice climbing opportunities aside this video podcast is supported by a new report from our sponsor Cyjax written by Comrade Nikita Cole whose draft helped structured our discussion - the paper is available here:  This short excerpt from the CIA world fact book paints the picture and rather surprisingly is unbiased in relating to China's resent ascension to the second largest economy in the world (2024).    "MAO Zedong died in 1976. Beginning in 1978, subsequent leaders DENG Xiaoping, JIANG Zemin, and HU Jintao focused on market-oriented economic development and opening the country to foreign trade, while maintaining the rule of the CCP. Since the change, China has been among the world's fastest growing economies, with real gross domestic product averaging over 9% growth annually through 2021, lifting an estimated 800 million people out of poverty, and dramatically improving overall living standards." What the CIA world fact book has left out is the lifting out of poverty has created a massive middle class anxious for western consumer and luxury goods. The 2023 McKinsey China Consumer Report also found the middle class continues to rise. There is still no other country that adds as many households to the middle class each year as China does. Over the next three years, China is expected to add another 71 million upper-middle and high-income households adding to the 693.3 million identified in 2022. It's massive and a massive market opportunity for any firm.  But all may not be as well as it seems - the panel explores some of doom and gloom associated with China and how cracks may be showing in foreign policy, international relations and its relationship with the world's largest economy the USA - join us for a fascinating look at a country described by some as a "Frenemy" to the west but has radically transformed in less than 1/2 a lifetime - 45 years.

An August report from the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security said over the next two years, Canada is going to face significant threats from state-supported cyberattacks from Russia, China and North Korea. Canada? What the heck did Canada do to earn the ire of those folks. Canadians are arguably the nicest people in the world. So we called up our favorite Canadian “cybersleuth”, Ian Thornton-Trump, Cyjax's CISO. to get the skinny. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/crucialtech/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/crucialtech/support

TikTok has been in the news for quite a while, but at Cyber Protection Magazine, we are pretty sure we aren't getting the whole story, so we are starting a series of articles and podcasts to get to the bottom of the issue, starting with this episode. We talk to Ian Thornton-Trump -- raconteur, iconoclast, cyberwarrior, and CISO for Cyjax -- and he, as usual, has a lot to say. As you listen you will find that the real problem is not in the app, but in ourselves... and in bad algorithm design. Also, this is an ad-free episode.

Much of the West has feared Russian aggression since the Cuban Missile Crisis 1962. Then it was their technologically superior military. Most recently it's been their vaunted cyber warfare capabilities. This podcast episode is about the one positive coming out of the Ukraine war: the Russians are not as scary as we thought they were. Oh, they are still scary, but scary like a feral, rabid house cat, rather than a man-eating tiger. The genesis of this interview was a Linkedin post by Ian Thornton-Trump, who is something of a celebrity in the cybersecurity world. Ian is a certified IT professional with 25 years of experience in IT security and information technology. His post in Linked in, essentially said, “Russian cyber warfare? Meh.” That intrigued me so I sent him a private message and asked him to elaborate, and boy did he. So I invited him on the podcast. Turns out he's a fan. Who knew? Be prepared to be encouraged. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/crucialtech/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/crucialtech/support

With us today is Ian Thornton-Trump, Chief Information Security Officer at Cyjax and an ITIL-certified IT professional with 25 years of experience in IT security and information technology. Ian shares his background which started back in the Canadian military. During those times, "IT" was called "automated data processing", and it is quite clear how far this has advanced. He joined the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and spent a year working on criminal intelligence. Soon after he became a consultant and made his way to the UK in 2015. Oftentimes organizations have not planned or prepared for risk, and that includes cyber. In that sense, cyber can be compared to the environmental landscapes and infrastructure, which Ian finds eerily similar. A lot of problems created in cyber mimic a lot of the environment problems we face in today's world. One example is the recent failure of the Texas power grid during a very harsh winter. Investment in cybersecurity is critical. Allan feels there are a lot of environmental laws, but there are also already some pretty strict cyber laws as well. However, they seem more aimed at the anonymous or extrajurisdictional perpetrators and end up useless when their anonymity is involved. And some cyber laws seem to punish the victim as well - after suffering ransomware you are now penalized for not being prepared for it in the first place? How can we get laws in place that are helping the situation and not blaming the victim? Ian suggest that positive incentives are the answer. If we can just get companies to do a bare minimum cyber hygiene, by incentivizing them through tax breaks, Ian thinks we could move the ball up more forward, without making it too onerous, to meet some sort of regulatory standard. How do we possibly extend our stretch? Because at the end of the day, the root cause is the “bad guys”, so how do we get to them? America is already doing a lot, but other countries need to put their money where their mouth is. Ian and Allan discuss President Biden's Executive Order on Cybersecurity. This can enforce behavior in the government, but only suggest behavior in the private sector. To sum up, we're nowhere, and we need to get somewhere because what we've done, at the federal and state level in the United States, is taken a lot of dollars, put them in parking lots, and set fire to them. And then after we finished that exercise, we asked for more dollars. We have to change the entire system from the ground up. And we have to incentivize cyber security.
