With the Tokyo Olympics well underway, many cybersecurity insiders are still on high alert that the event could still face an onslaught of cyberattacks. In this podcast episode, we covered why the event is such a big target for hackers, what the threat landscape looks like, what defenses should be in place, and more together with Lisa Plaggemier, the interim executive director at the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA),  a nonprofit, public-private partnership promoting cybersecurity and privacy education and awareness. 

Lisa Plaggemier, interim executive director of the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), has an affinity for the automotive industry since her professional career includes time at Ford and CDK Global. Plaggemier appeared on this episode of the Auto Remarketing Podcast to discuss the recent data breach sustained by Mercedes-Benz as well as other concerns about how dealerships and finance companies can remain secure.

Patch Tuesday was a big one this month. Microsoft Exchange Server remains under active attack in the wild, with new threat actors hopping on the opportunity. Russia denies it had anything to do with the SolarWinds incident and says the kinds of US response that the word on the street tells them are under consideration would be nothing more than international crime. Hacktivists strike a blow against cameras and stuff. Joe Carrigan has thoughts on Google’s plans for third party cookies. Our guest is Kelvin Coleman from the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) on how educators can better protect students’ privacy during distance learning sessions. And police in the low countries sweep up more than a hundred cybercrooks.

The first guest is Jason Ruger, Chief Information Security Officer at Lenovo. He led an in-depth session on 5G and then provided some more of his thoughts on today’s show. Next up is Ruby Zefo, Chief Privacy Officer for Uber. Ruby is also a board member of the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and was a panelist during one of the morning media briefings exploring the topic of privacy. Last but not least on the podcast is Chris Novak, Global Director of Verizon’s Threat Research Advisory Center. Chris was also a panelist on another media briefing about 5G and the state of cyber.

Welcome to RIMScast. Your host is Justin Smulison, Business Content Manager at RIMS, the Risk and Insurance Management Society.   Today’s guest is Kelvin Coleman, the Executive Director for the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA). Kelvin is a veteran of high-stakes cybersecurity posts at the White House and in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and has excelled in public and private leadership roles throughout his 20+ year career.   Justin and Kelvin are diving into the world of cybersecurity in this episode! They discuss Kelvin’s previous roles, some of which include the White House, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and of course, his current role with NCSA. Kelvin gives his thoughts on the cybersecurity landscape and how it has changed over the years, his thoughts and reaction to the recent Baltimore ransomware attack, and whether or not he believes that attackers are becoming more and more sophisticated and pragmatic with their attacks. He also gives his advice to small and medium-sized businesses regarding ransomware attacks, what good cybersecurity practices look like, and what we can all look forward to from the National Cybersecurity Agency in 2019.   Key Takeaways: [:15] About today’s episode and featured guest! [:30] About some of RIMS fantastic upcoming events. [1:17] More about today’s guest, Kelvin Coleman. [2:02] How did Kelvin end up with posts at the White House and Department of Homeland Security? [5:06] Under what administration did this part of Kelvin’s career start? [5:37] So it wasn’t a complete overhaul of the prior administration? [7:01] How has the landscape changed at the White House since 2010-2011 when Kelvin was working there? [8:17] Kelvin gives his thoughts and reaction to the recent news of Baltimore having endured a ransomware attack where several systems and levels of its infrastructure were impacted. [10:46] Did Baltimore reach out to the NCSA for support or advice? [11:58] Kelvin offers some pieces of advice to small and medium-sized businesses so that they can learn from the attack in Baltimore. [14:39] Does Kelvin believe that attackers are becoming more sophisticated and pragmatic? Does he think that they’ve caught on to the importance of cyber insurance policies to play or exploit the system that way? [16:01] Kelvin describes his experience working with risk managers in the private sector. [17:40] When Justin and Kelvin met back in April, Kelvin led a great discussion with Matthew Travis from CISA where he spoke about the National Risk Management Center (NRMC) that was established by DHS in 2018. How is the NRMC being received by the public? And are companies reaching out to CISA during a breach or crisis? [19:53] Was there ever a time in the White House or DHS when Kelvin took a specific action and saw how it impacted a person, a government official, or a company? [24:11] Outside of the tech industry, is there another industry that has a finger on the pulse of good cybersecurity practices? [25:39] Kelvin outlines what we can all look forward to from the National Cybersecurity Agency for the rest of 2019.

Summer is upon us and for many of us that means travel - but before you even pack your bags, you need to listen to this podcast! In my interview with Michael Kaiser (the Executive Director of the National Cyber Security Alliance), we discuss all the cyber security and privacy issues you need to consider: before you go and while you’re traveling. Going abroad this summer? There are even more things you need to consider well before you leave! I also tell you why everyone needs to reboot their WiFi routers - by request of the FBI, no less! A Russian-made piece of malware called VPNFilter has infected half a million routers world-wise, and the remedy in most cases is simply to power-cycle or reboot your router. It’s easy to do and we should also take a few minutes to do it. Michael Kaiser joined the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) in 2008.

  According to Cisco research, over 50% of consumers are willing to exchange certain types of data and personal information with businesses in exchange for value-added services. Most consumers have little or no reservation sharing “basic” information about themselves, their past purchasing behavior, or their interests and hobbies. However, there is a “trust cliff,” a steep drop-off in willingness to share certain types of personal information beyond this basic information. Factors such as location, purchases from other retailers, and so forth remains a point of question for many consumers. So how can organizations balance the need to secure customer data and privacy while delivering hyper-relevant experiences based on data insights? How can they avoid falling off the trust cliff, yet maximize the relationship with their customers? In this podcast episode, Michelle Dennedy, Chief Privacy Officer at Cisco and Michael Kaiser, Executive Director at the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) discuss how organizations can balance trust and need for data privacy. They will share why it’s critical for organizations to de-risk their infrastructure and deliver a personalized and secure customer experience.  

Chet sits down with Michael Kaiser, Executive Director at the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) to discuss Data Privacy Day. Michael explains the origin of Data Privacy Day, some of the activities related to it and how people can participate in raising awareness about privacy and data security.
