Join host Brad Koontz and Cybersecurity expert Michael Steel as they discuss the top trends in enterprise security and how to navigate them for your business. Our experts discuss their top 3 security concerns in 2024:Ransomware attacks on critical infrastructureDeepfakes and disinformation campaignsInsider threats and identity breachesTo begin, let's dive deeper into each of these concerns:Ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure - With cybercriminals increasingly targeting vital systems, organizations should be prepared for the potential impact of ransomware attacks on critical infrastructure. This involves not only securing IT networks but also investing in robust cybersecurity measures for operational technology (OT) systems.Deepfakes and disinformation campaigns - The rapid advancement of AI and machine learning has led to the rise of deepfakes, synthetic media that can manipulate and deceive even experts. Businesses must be aware of the potential harm from deepfake-based disinformation campaigns and invest in countermeasures to detect and mitigate their impact on brand reputation and public trust.Insider threats and identity breaches - Insider threats, whether intentional or accidental, pose a significant risk to organizations. As remote work becomes the norm, ensuring strong access management, user training, and monitoring of user behavior will be crucial in preventing and mitigating insider threats and potential identity breaches.By taking proactive steps to address these security concerns, business leaders can help their organizations stay ahead of the curve and maintain a strong security posture in 2024 and beyond.global.hitachi-solutions.com

U MAD BRO? International Edition FRY-DAY Journalism On Fire Ukraine Updates Trucker Convoy Updates International and US Maggie Haberman Michael Steel President Macron Pres Putin Donald Trump Rudy Giuliani Cult Control Deep Gravy 666 Truckers are Domestic Terrorists Psy-Op U Mad Bro Freedum(B) I ask everyone to take a favorite sip of something they enjoy drinking every time I say filler words, like "Um" "So" and "Alright" Discuss the new weekly line up, and get into using proper sources that are not Propaganda sites.This is a long wrap up,  a lot of editorializing, and  rants, mostly about the PsyOp Deep Cultist operations radicalizing people in the Trucker Movements, in the US Canada, Australia and New Zealand.  I first, however update the situation in the country oif Ukraine, and get you good sources for information that are not Russian Propaganda sites, this theme pops up throughout this episode, as I warn you about sites that are pure propaganda and PsyOp Russian Farm style.I then get into the new updates, in the Trucker Terrorist Regimes, that are spreading out, form  what I like to call "Red-Prints" instead of Blue Print copy cat style events, that are being run clearly like a military operation coup style. I discuss and show how these new operations are actually more like Military Terrorist operations, using thew cover of "Vaccine Mandates" as Icing on their Terrorism cakes.Discussing the new threat by a GOP Candidate, to surround the LA stadium, and not let anyone in for the Superbowl, and insinuating, that if all vaccine and mask mandates are not lifted in four countries, then these "Terrorist Truckers", are willing to disrupt their countries food and supply lines, surround buildings, and commit acts of violence, that are often racially fueled and fascism based, and often involve the actual Nazi flag.I make the case that killing people off by not getting them vaxxed and masked, is just a sidebar, for the real purpose, which is outside interests against democracy radicalizing and spoon-feeding this info, then  getting it to happen, by using power, fame, pr money influencing on certain big fish actors, who them download this cultist psy op to conspiracy theorists, racists, and others who then go and perpetuate these acts, believing what they are being told and acting fanatically on that.I warn based on my reporting and research that this is a threat to all Democracy loving countries being perpetuated by those who are not fans of Democracy, and want to sew chaos, in Democratic Superpower countries. I have a moment of weakness, when the 'U mad Bro" works even on me, but I quickly remind everyone, that if they do not stop pearl clutching and take stronger measures against these operations, stop calling them protests, and call them out for what they are, Domestic Terrorism,  the possibility of acquiescing to the demands of these groups is real, and will kill and harm, and disrupt the lives of everyday folks everywhere. i urge governments to have a zero policy of tolerance for such activities, to label them domestic terrorists, and prosecute them accordingly. Maggie Haberman controversy, and the fallout from that with her new book, DJT Hair Twittlers comments regarding the excerpts of that book on Axios,  Twitter Uproar on when the facts in the book are being released, and get into the reporting that Trump took boxes of documents to Maralago, and that Rudy is broke, and as mentioned, Trump is supporting the truckers as he did the insurrectionists.I end with Michael Steels dig at Trump eating par, connected to info in the Haberman book,m excerpt, and flushing documents.Yet again appealing to Trumplandia that they are all being controlled and to wake up and leave the cult.All sources where possibly, are fully credited, and named clearly in proper journalist credit style.Breaking news intro

Fox News had been the cable network oasis for conservatives for many years.  Yet, its move to the left began to accelerate in recent years and became strikingly obvious during the 2020 election.  Competitors like Newsmax and One America News have seen incredible growth in ratings as Fox News has taken a hit.  Is Fox News feeling the heat?

Michael Steel, spent years as a top aide to Republican leadership on Capitol Hill, namely House Speaker John Boehner, has worked on a number of presidential campaigns, and is now a managing partner at Hamilton Place Partners, a public affairs firm in Washington DC. We talked about how the current uproar among House Democrats pushing for impeachment proceedings to begin mirrors some of the challenges that Boehner faced with a restive Republican conference when the GOP was in the majority from 2010 to 2015, when Boehner resigned and handed the reins to Paul Ryan. We discussed what’s causing the dysfunction in Congress that is now the new normal over the past decade. His most provocative idea? Basically to get rid of the Speaker of the House by making it a ceremonial position, turning over real control of House leadership to the Majority Leader position. To understand why he thinks that would make such a big difference, you’ll have to listen to the rest of the episode, or you can read my write up of this interview, which is linked to here.Outro music: “All of Our Yesterdays” by Mac DeMarco Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thelonggame.

  Is Herman Cain the Best Republican Candidate to Run Against President Obama and Should More Black People Join the Republican Party? Herman Cain Announced Presidential Bid This Morning (Click here for Video fast forward to the 38 minute mark to hear Herman Cain)   Another candidate has entered the Republican presidential field.  Former Godfather's Pizza CEO Herman Cain announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination in his home town of Atlanta, Georgia today.  The Republican Party had its first Party Leader in Michael Steel and now there is a Tea Party Supported candidate that happens to be black in Herman Cain.  Is this showing a change in the Republican Party?  The Tea Party has been called a racist group among other things and now one of its champions is a Black Man.      Colin Powell Announced that he was a Republican some years ago.  When asked why he said, “In order to affect change it has to be done from within.”  Remember that prior to the 60's, most Black people were Republicans and it was the Republican party that was created by Lincoln to free the slaves.  Now we know that the parties changed in 65 but most blacks have been conservatives until recently. Often times in private we hear how the Republican Party doesn't care about black people and that the Democrats take them for granted.  Is it time for Black people to get more involved with the Republican Party to put them in play and to push both parties to pay more attention to their issues
