Today, Steve talks about ISF's flagship foresight report "Threat Horizon 2027: Grasping for Control." In a world defined by disruption and acceleration, this report offers not just a forecast of cyber threats, but a blueprint for resilience, and Steve walks listeners through the key themes. Key Takeaways: 1 Flexibility will be key in an increasingly volatile world. 2 Cyber must be considered in every aspect of an organization's operations. 3 Control is possible, even if it sometimes doesn't feel like it. Tune in to hear more about: 1 Why identity is becoming more and more important for businesses (2:24) 2 How senior leaders can prepare for the future (17:06) 3 Why control is still possible (21:42) Standout Quotes: 1 “Identity is really the cornerstone of everything that we do in the digital world, and it's fast becoming one of the most critical areas for business leaders to understand and take seriously.” - Steve Durbin 2 “Leaders need to understand the economic impact of cyber risk. What are the potential costs of disruption? How would a breach affect reputation, revenue, operations? It's the reputational bit, for instance, in my case, that worries me the most. And once you start thinking in those terms. You can make many more business-aligned, informed decisions about what you are going to do because you stop looking at the cost of doing something and instead you flip it and look at the implications and associated costs of not doing it.” - Steve Durbin 3 “I think that business leaders as a group, tend to be pretty resilient individuals. I've worked a lot with entrepreneurs, and they are probably some of the most resilient that I've ever come across because they have to be. And one of the things that they always believe in, I've found, is that irrespective of what's going on around you, control is still possible. But in order to have that level of control, it takes foresight, it takes focus, and I think above all it takes flexibility and, I would say, courage.” - Steve Durbin Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

In this deep and empowering episode, Victoria sits down with Dr. Jillian Lampert – VP of the Emily Program and President of REDC – to talk about what traditional ED treatment is missing, why recovery isn't one-size-fits-all, and how our society's obsession with weight is doing real harm. They dive into the neurobiological roots of eating disorders, discuss GLP-1 medications, and explore the roles of ADHD, autism, and trauma in ED development. This episode is packed with truth bombs, fierce compassion, and a powerful reminder that recovery is not only possible – it's worth it.

Today, Steve sits down with supply chain expert Neil Coole, who currently serves as Enterprise Partnership Director at BSI. He emphasizes the need to know your organization's supply chain story in order to stay secure and protect your brand. He and Steve talk about how regulation can go beyond a checklist and add value for companies. Key Takeaways:  1 The covid-19 pandemic and recent conflicts have highlighted the vulnerability of today's supply chains.  2 Standards exist as frameworks to help companies live up to responsibilities set upon them by law or consumers.  3 A harmonized assessment framework can help industries secure their supply chains and save organizations time and money. Tune in to hear more about:  1 How standards are created and what their purpose is (8:57)  2 Protecting critical infrastructure in the US (14:09)  3 The Supplier Compliance Audit Network, a community of US-based retailers and brand owners who's created a harmonized assessment framework for its industry (23:23) Standout Quotes:  1 “The expectation now is on more trust, transparency and also traceability, especially things like tech-enabled traceability. What kind of tech-enabled traceability solutions is that client using to determine where the goods are coming from? What route are they taking? Who's opening up the cargo containers and possibly adulterating goods, stealing in transit, all those other things – that's a real concern today for these organizations who are moving hundreds of thousands of freight containers on an annual basis. It's a real risk that they have to live with. The solutions are there. It's just helping those organizations understand the role that standards, shall we say – a standard is a best-practice framework – can play in helping to reduce, or, in some cases, even mitigate some of those risks.” - Neil Coole  2 “There's opportunities for improvement everywhere, but from a maturity standpoint, we do view parts of the critical infrastructure sectors like energy and finance to be on the more mature end. And then there's a few in the middle that are learning some important lessons. And then there's those who are actively being targeted we read about all the time. They are the ones that I feel would benefit more from some of the guidance and support and information that's available for them to be less of an attractive target.” Neil Coole  3 “So, if you're a single supplier working for the top 10 biggest brands, the top 10 are sending out some form of assessment of you. You're getting that 300-page assessment document, not just from one supplier, you're getting it from all the suppliers. But if those suppliers become part of the same community and they agree to accept a single assessment outcome, no matter who has instigated it, everyone benefits. The supplier benefits – minimizes their disruption, they get to work with more brands in an open and trusted environment – and it just saves that complete disruption and unnecessary costs of delivering an assessment by multiple brands.” - Neil Coole Mentioned in this episode:  • Dear Infosec Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Today, Steve speaks with Kailyn Johnson, cyber intelligence and geopolitical risk lead at UK consulting firm Sibylline. Kailyn and Steve discuss the current threat landscape, focusing on areas where cyber and geopolitics overlap, and she offers some practical advice on how to contextualize security for your organization's C-suite. Key Takeaways: 1 The dark web is becoming more democratized, opening up the door for low-skilled threat actors to cause harm. 2 Open and frequent communication between security teams and other branches of the organization, in particular those in charge of the budget, is crucial for cyber resilience operations to receive sufficient support. 3 Staying up to date on patching, knowing your supply chains, and understanding how threats to critical infrastructure can affect you, will be key for organizations in 2025. Tune in to hear more about: 1 How the dark web is becoming more democratized, and what means for businesses 2 Why showing the worth of the cyber team is tricky but critical for long-term success 3 What organizations can do better in 2025 Standout Quotes:  1 “So we're seeing just ransomware continuing to be a consistent risk to business operations, financial risk, reputational risk, security risks, operational risks. But alongside that, we're also then seeing the influx of a lot more low-skilled threat actors having now the capabilities to conduct sophisticated operations with the democratization of the dark web.” - Kailyn Johnson  2 “Showing off the value that these teams have to the people with budget, sometimes might help unlock a bit of that budget. If you're seeing the benefit of those teams, you're more likely to give them the budget that they might need for it, and whether that's internally or sometimes externally, if you've produced really good work, or if you've created all these detections that have helped improve the network security for your organization, how could we maybe publish that, whether it's internally to the stakeholders, or if it's for everyone, so people are seeing, actually, they're doing a really good job.” - Kailyn Johnson  3 “But sometimes you're so focused on the impact of the regulations that you sometimes then forget, actually the processes that we're doing are working. Then should we just maybe let things play out and see how they're going? I think there's always a bit of a worry of, are we always in compliance? And it's good that we have that worry, but it's also sometimes the case of, just keep doing what you're doing, and you've got your compliance teams to tell you when you're not.” - Kailyn Johnson Mentioned in this episode: • ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

In this episode, Steve speaks with best-selling author and hypnotist Paul McKenna about something that affects all of us — stress at work. Paul talks about the impact stress can have on workers and gives practical tips to care for yourself and the employees you lead, even in the fast-paced, “always-on” security industry. Key Takeaways: 1 It's important to be mindful of signs of stress before it gets to burnout. 2 Mindfulness, hypnosis, and other types of self-care can significantly reduce stress. 3 For long-term success, employers should look to balance output and productivity with their employees' mental and physical well-being. Tune in to hear more about: 1 Why we're more stressed than ever (1:10) 2 How to identify signs that may lead to burnout (3:26) 3 How companies and leaders can support their employees well-being (12:32) Standout Quotes: 1 “It's right now a massive issue, anxiety, stress, fear, worry, because if you think about it, you turn on the TV, or you open a newspaper, you're under attack. It's the war, it's the virus, it's the economy, it's something or other. And so understandably, post the pandemic, we were out of the biological pandemic, but we're sort of in a psychological pandemic.” - Paul McKenna 2 “ Now the thing is, addiction is about changing your state of mind and body, so drinking, drug taking, gambling, sex, shopping, television and food, particularly sugar food, are the world's drugs of choice. And everybody in the world at some point feels too much stress. They feel overwhelmed, and so they resort to something to change how they feel, some of the things I just mentioned. And in a sense, some people, they form an addiction to their work because they can, you know, forget about everything else that's going on in their life. They might not have to think about their relationship or, you know, some other stress, from their family or something. So they immerse themselves in work.” - Paul McKenna 3 “Years ago, when I started corporate training, one of my colleagues, I asked him, ‘Why is it corporations pay so much money to have their staff trained?' He said, ‘Well, I can show you,' because look, they see that ‘days sick' goes down, the productivity goes up. So basically, by staying in the zone of balance – you've got enough output getting things done, versus balance, which is recovery time, in my mind. You get that mix right, then you're going to be more productive in the end.” - Paul McKenna  Mentioned in this episode: • Dear Infosec Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter

Today we're listening to the second half of Steve's recent Emerging Threats webinar for security leaders. In this episode, Steve responds to audience questions, covering everything from government regulation to supply chain to raising awareness within your organization. Steve Durbin's Contact Information: steve.durbin@securityforum.org Steve Durbin on LinkedIn Key Takeaways: 1. Knowing what your crown jewels are and how to protect them is paramount in a volatile world. 2. The government should do what the government does well, and it should let businesses do what businesses do well. The government should provide clear guidelines, but then there should be little interference. 3. Everything begins and ends with cyber resilience. How do we deal with the aftermath of the cyber incident that inevitably will occur? Tune in to hear more about: 1. How to get the board to care about cybersecurity and cyber risk (2:48) 2. How to avoid making regulatory compliance a tick box exercise (9:13) 3. How ISF can help make your organization more resilient (26:06) Standout Quotes: 1. “I like bringing people into the cyber space that are not technical. That doesn't mean to say you don't need technical people in cyber – you do, your security team needs to have a combination of the two – but I do very much like bringing them in from the business because their perspective is very much more about how they're going to make use of the technologies and therefore the use and the role that cybersecurity can play in securing the critical assets. Now, because we obviously are in an industry where there's a shortage of skills, what it does do is open up the markets to attracting – if you get it right – a whole variety of people that perhaps you wouldn't normally be able to bring into cybersecurity. So not only does it give you fresh perspective, not only does it align you more closely with the business, but it also opens up a pool of talent that otherwise might not be there.” - Steve Durbin  2. “I don't actually differentiate very much anymore between cyber risk and enterprise risk. [...] The reason I don't is that for me, I've become very much more convinced that cyber is so integral in everything that we do, that actually you create something of a problem for yourself if you begin to differentiate between enterprise and cyber.” Steve Durbin  3. “We need to make it simple for our users to be able to contact somebody in security if they are at all concerned about something that they've seen either through their email, on a system. And all too often we're not doing that. I can't tell you the number of times I've spoken to organizations and they simply aren't doing some of those basics. We don't need to complicate it all the time.” Steve Durbin Mentioned in this episode: Dear InfoSec Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

What does empathy have to do with design thinking and pipe cleaner hats? Lee is a design thinker, an engineer, and a community builder. She founded a community innovation lab, Design Dream Lab, where anyone with a giving heart can make an impact and dream of a better future. Lee loves building and fostering creativity through everyday experiences and finds joy in connecting dots with other fun-loving and joyful human beings. Lee currently serves as a Service Design Experience Lead at Pfizer. When she is not playing at work, she brings amazing people together to build the future that we desire. Traci was introduced to Lee just because.  Traci never even knew Lee was a bit of a celebrity who made and wore pipe cleaner hats. She had worn them for a year and was covered in a beautiful New Yorker article and video expose.  You are in for inspiration and a positive sparkle in your day when you listen to Lee's creative nudges and design thinking ethos.

So you can never actually 100 % empathize with that person. But as a person who is curious, what we can do is we could try, attempt to be that person.” (Lee) “Oftentimes it is us just helping each other to grow to be a better person rather than us trying to create products to make the world better. (Lee). “The perspective shifting reframing of the questions from the lens of the person who's going through it always start the design thinking process. And that is what designers do.” (Lee) “So what excites me about design thinking is it's never a lone game. There are always partners who are going to come along the journey with you.” (Lee) “And you create prototypes not to prove you're right. You create prototypes to see what you can learn more about the person. And then you go test and iterate, and then you come back to, Okay, this is what we think can help you.” (Lee) “...the solution is communication. The solution is sharing their lived experiences, not the theory that you can find in research papers.” (Lee)  “I think it's important for me to at least know that to myself, am I true to myself.” (Lee)   Connect: Find | Sidewalk Talk  At sidewalk-talk.org On Instagram: @sidewalktalkorg On Twitter: @sidewalktalkorg   Find | Traci Ruble At Traciruble.com On Instagram: @TraciRubleMFT On Twitter: @TraciRubleMFT On Facebook: @TraciRubleMFT   Find | Lee Kim At www.designdreamlab.org On LinkedIn: @leekim   SUBSCRIBE TO THIS PODCAST On Apple Podcasts On Google Podcasts On Spotify On YouTube

Today, Steve is speaking with investigative tech journalist Geoff White, who has been covering tech and financial crime for more than 20 years. Listeners may be familiar with his popular podcast The Lazarus Heist for the BBC World Service, and now his new book, Rinsed: From Cartels to Crypto: How the Tech Industry Washes Money for the World's Deadliest Crooks, will be available from Penguin Random House next week.  Steve and Geoff discuss current trends in organized cybercrime, how these criminals are—or maybe aren't—adopting AI, and the difficulties law enforcement still faces in helping the victims of these crimes. Key Takeaways: 1.  Nation states and government agencies have been known to adopt tactics from organized crime gangs and activists – a sort of trickle-up effect. 2. As technological advancements are presenting criminals with new avenues for money laundering, law enforcement is not always able to keep up and instead is having to prioritize high level crimes. 3. The law enforcement landscape is a fast changing world, as agencies adapt and gain more awareness of cybercrime tactics relating to AI and cryptocurrencies. Tune in to hear more about: 1. Cybercrime evolution, nation-state involvement, and tactics (3:31) 2. AI use in cybercrime, potential for innovation and defense (8:29) 3. Cybercrime and money laundering, with a focus on the role of technology and law enforcement (11:45) 4. Cybercrime, crypto, and organized crime evolution (15:59) Standout Quotes: 1. “Sometimes the tools of organized cybercrime, gangs, nation states have also learned from hacktivists. From leaks from people like WikiLeaks or from Anonymous, they've learned the damage that a leak can do a leak of information can do. And that's fed into that disinformation piece nation states now extremely astute at getting in stealing information and then weaponizing that information to change elections, to change people's attitudes, to influence world events, the nation states have got both feet in to this cybercrime game.” -Geoff White 2. “I think maybe it's worth thinking like a criminal and understanding how thinking like a criminal is different to thinking like a different type of enterprise. The reason I enjoy thinking about organized crime and covering organized crime is because it's organized. These are networks, as you say, of professional, organized people. But they're not out to win customers. They're not like Microsoft and Google who wants to come out with innovation and innovative new products to win customers in their competition. No. They want to make money from victims. And frankly, as long as you're making enough money from your victims month in month out, you don't change. There's no reason to innovate. Crime gangs innovate when law enforcement and the force of authority stop them from making the money they usually make. That's when you innovate.” -Geoff White 3. “I think there was a time when, frankly, explaining Bitcoin to sort of rank and file police officers was a struggle. I think those days are gone … There's been this realization that things like cryptocurrency is something that law enforcement needs to be on top of.” -Geoff White 4. “As cryptocurrency gets larger, as more financial institutions get behind it, as governments get behind it, yes, it can make it more legitimate, it can expand the legitimacy of it. But it also creates more noise, if you like, for the criminals to hide.” -Geoff White Mentioned in this episode: ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

This is the second of a two-part conversation between Steve and Brian Lord, who is currently the Chief Executive Officer of Protection Group International. Prior to joining PGI, Brian served as the Deputy Director of a UK Government Agency governing the organization's Cyber and Intelligence Operations. Today, Steve and Brian discuss the proliferation of mis- and disinformation online, the potential security threats posed by AI, and the need for educating children in cyber awareness from a young age. Key Takeaways: 1. The private sector serves as a skilled and necessary support to the public sector, working to counter mis- and disinformation campaigns, including those involving AI. 2. AI's increasing ability to create fabricated  images poses a particular threat to youth and other vulnerable users. Tune in to hear more about: 1. Brian gives his assessment of cybersecurity threats during election years. (16:04) 2. Exploitation of vulnerable users remains a major concern in the digital space, requiring awareness, innovative countermeasures, and regulation. (31:0) Standout Quotes: 1. “I think when we look at AI, we need to recognize it is a potentially long term larger threat to our institutions, our critical mass and infrastructure, and we need to put in countermeasures to be able to do that. But we also need to recognize that the most immediate impact on that is around what we call high harms, if you like. And I think that was one of the reasons the UK — over a torturously long period of time — introduced the The Online Harms Bill to be able to counter some of those issues. So we need to get AI in perspective. It is a threat. Of course it is a threat. But I see then when one looks at AI applied in the cybersecurity test, you know, automatic intelligence developing hacking techniques, bear in mind, AI is available to both sides. It's not just available to the attackers, it's available to the defenders. So what we are simply going to do is see that same kind of thing that we have in the more human-based countering the cybersecurity threat in an AI space.” -Brian Lord 2. “The problem we have now — now, one can counter that by the education of children, keeping them aware, and so on and so forth— the problem you have now is the ability, because of the availability of imagery online and AI's ability to create imagery, one can create an entirely fabricated image of a vulnerable target and say, this is you. Even though it isn't … when you're looking at the most vulnerable in our society, that's a very, very difficult thing to counter, because it doesn't matter whether it's real to whoever sees it, or the fear from the most vulnerable people, people who see it, they will believe that it is real. And we've seen that.” -Brian Lord Mentioned in this episode: • ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Emerging threats and risks in technology, including quantum computing, AI, and legacy systems (32:18) Standout Quotes: 1. “We're a professional services organisation, so our contracts are the foundation. And if they're not 100% met, then you actually don't proceed. So it became very easy to say, there's cause and effect here. And that's where that's taken a lot of … repeat exposure, I think, is one part of it, but also setting the stage that it's dynamic. It's not like, oh, yeah, we're done with that, so we can just kind of move on. It's like, we're done with this particular initiative right now. And there are more, and it will be changing probably, quarter to quarter.” - David Weisong 2. “There's a lot of things that are being put onto platforms or systems that you sometimes get into the area where you might have a unique combination of things that creates problems. And so that's where I think the industry is looking at it still in a category basis. I think there's a need for a more holistic approach, dare I say, coordination or cooperation between companies and their solution offerings.” - David Weisong 3. “When I think about the three to five year window, I mean, there's clearly more fraud and more cybersecurity attacks. It is significant, and it's not decreasing. And so the ability for both organisations to share and for the industry that serving up different solutions, there has to be a coordination and a collaboration around that. Because the priority could change from year to year.” - David Weisong     Mentioned in this episode: Times Higher Education: We need a social science of data by Cristina Alaimo and Jannis Kallinikos ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter  From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

In today's episode, Steve speaks with Steve Satterwhite, the founder and CEO of Entelligence, and author of "Above the Line: How the Golden Rule Rules the Bottom Line."

Finding and upskilling cybersecurity professionals for new technologies (16:44) 4. Prioritising people in business to boost revenue and profits (21:58) 5. Prioritising emotional intelligence in technology leadership (27:06) Standout Quotes: 1. “I believe that that culture attracts the kind of folks that are ambitious, that are hungry to learn, that are eager to move up in whatever way that they define moving up in their lives. And I think it's our job, really, as leaders, and especially here in our organisation. It's to create that environment so that people can thrive.” - Steve Satterwhite 2.  “Here's a stupid analogy, but I like to use it because it's how I think about the business. It's really just to simplify it. Let's say that you're a new airline, or you have a new airline route that you want to go from Houston to Paris, and you're short of pilots to fly the big Dreamliner or the big Airbus from here to there. It's a different operation. So what we do is we go look for people that have been flying 737s most of their career. They're deeply passionate about flying, and they're really good at it, and all we need to do is just kind of upskill them in a short period of time just to fly a different airplane. It's still piloting, it's still flying. That's what we do. So if you think about just the evolution of technology and the things that we're doing, all we're doing, constantly, at Entelligence is just upskilling people in the shortest possible time.” - Steve Satterwhite Mentioned in this episode: ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Deep fake technology and its potential impact on identity verification processes (5:57) 2. Preventing deep fake images and videos using technology and algorithmic systems (9:57) 3. Deep fakes and their potential uses, including filmmaking and education (13:11) 4. Deep fakes and their impact on society, with a focus on technology's role in verifying authenticity (18:43) Standout Quotes: 1. “I think the urgency here — and this is the absolutely key part — is that we need to get the technology in place to make sure that the processes that rely on the genuineness of the person in imagery, that we can have something in place that we know works, that we know that we can trust, and is something that is very easy to use.” - Andrew Newell 2. “I think on the protection of identity proofing systems against the threat from deep fakes, we have a technology solution now. And the urgency is to make sure that this technology is used wherever that we need to actually guard against that threat.”  - Andrew Newell 3. “And one of the most important things, if not the most important thing, is: when we think about a way to mitigate these threats, it has to be something that works for everybody. We cannot end up with a system that only works for certain groups in a society.” - Andrew Newell  Mentioned in this episode: Dear Infosec Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

In this episode, Eric shares insights into his app's unique approach to creating meaningful connections and his broader vision for expanding human interactions beyond dating. Standout Quotes: "Dating apps often boil down to a 'hot or not' mentality—swipe left or right based on looks alone. This superficial approach doesn't facilitate genuine connections, leading to the first problem of market skew." – Eric McHugh "I think everyone's happiest when they're serving other people, and I think everyone's the best at being themselves. If I try to be you, I can't beat you at being you, because you're number one. But if you try to be me, I'll beat you at being me." – Eric McHugh "I believe everything operates on energy, frequency, and vibration. Just as a radio picks up a specific station, your emotional state attracts people operating on similar frequencies. By embodying love, compassion, and empathy, you align yourself with positive energies and attract the right connections into your life." – Eric McHugh Key Takeaways: Move beyond superficial matching systems by prioritizing genuine connections based on shared interests and digital interactions rather than just physical appearance. Challenge the “hot or not” mentality by focusing on deeper compatibility factors such as shared interests and values rather than just physical appearance. Be aware of how dating apps' incentive structures can affect user experience. Seek out platforms that prioritize successful matches over user retention.

Have you ever felt stuck, unable to break free from the same old patterns and problems in your life? Do you wish you had the power to truly influence and persuade others rather than feeling powerless in your relationships? In this episode, Dr. David Snyder go investigates into our challenges in reprogramming our subconscious minds and mastering the art of influence. From self-trance techniques and the inception method to the mysteries of Kabbalah and past life regression, Dr. David Snyder shares his wealth of knowledge and practical wisdom. Standout Quotes: "The more you learn, the less you know. The more you learn, the more possibilities you realize are out there." - Dr. David Snyder "The most powerful stuff is the simplest. Do your best to keep your stuff simple, and you'll find little magic at your fingertips." - Dr. David Snyder "The energy body and the physical body is where our reptile brain is kind of stored. That's the part that deduces and acts on instinct." - Dr. David Snyder "The fastest way to evolve is to go through the obstacles, not run away from them." - Dr. David Snyder "If you find ways to turn everything you want to do into a game, it's gonna come faster and it's gonna be a lot more doable." - Dr. David Snyder "People can only trigger something that's already inside of you. If you remove it from inside of you, then they lose their power over you." - Dr. David Snyder "You have to operate under the assumption that no one's coming to save you but you and you have to be proactive." - Dr. David Snyder Key Takeaways: Watch the "identity by design" and "self-mastery supercharger" videos to improve attracting the right relationships. Carefully approach Franz Bardon's books "Initiation into Hermetics" and "Keys to the True Kabbalah," but only after completing the exercises in the first book. Strive to keep things simple and turn your practices into games to make them more enjoyable and effective. Focus on cleaning up your internal blocks and triggers, as these allow others to have power over you. Cultivate the willingness to stand up for yourself and be proactive, as no one else will save you. Experiment with echoing others' words to help them feel heard and calm down aggressive or angry behavior. Use stories, questions, and isomorphic metaphors to influence and build rapport with others. Develop a strong connection to divine providence to protect yourself from external influences and entities. Approach spiritual practices with a clear understanding of the principles and associations involved, rather than just following blindly.

Today's episode is the first of three conversations with ISF CEO Steve Durbin around the coming impact of technological development on society and business. We know that new technologies have always tested organisations, and technological innovation and integration into our lives and enterprises — it's only accelerating. We offer an analysis of potential future scenarios, as well as practical tips for what organisations can do now to prepare. Key Takeaways: 1. Organisations must prioritise supporting smaller entities in keeping up with the fast pace of technological change. 2. Security can deliver competitive advantage, but implementation challenges persist, and security risks can become low priority in a fast-paced tech landscape. 3. Organisations face pressure to modernise technology while managing legacy systems and regulatory demands. 4. CEOs must balance competing priorities, including ESG initiatives, employee expectations, and shareholder demands. 5. Political developments may force organisations to respect local restrictions on technologies. 6. Organisations are advised to protect crown jewels, ensure data protection, and monitor supply chain partners. 7. Organisations must prepare for quantum-proof encryption and socialise policies for AI use. Tune in to hear more about: 1. The impact of technological innovation on business and society, with a focus on adoption challenges and timing (0:00) 2. Security risks in technology innovation and adoption (1:29) 3. The impact of quantum computing on cybersecurity and the need for organizations to prioritize legacy technology updates (6:59) 4. Volatility, uncertainty, and technological change in the security industry (12:45) 5. How technology innovations can disrupt and improve organizations (18:22) 6. Managing innovation in a rapidly challenging digital landscape (20:40) 7. Limitations of accessing powerful technologies due to restrictions, threats, and security concerns (26:12) 8. Emerging threats and risks in technology, including quantum computing, AI, and legacy systems (32:18) Standout Quotes: 1. “Organisations could certainly find themselves cut off from the supercharged processing power, because it may be developed by a government for its own ends and restricted, expensive, all of those sorts of things, so that it effectively becomes unavailable. And I think organisations, despite all of that, are going to have to operate in the shadow of this massive computing power shift when it comes about as the pace of change accelerates, innovations proliferate, traditional life cycles of technology shorten.” - Steve Durbin 2. “If we're going to have smaller organisations within our overall ecosystem, we need to be just sparing a bit of a thought for how they might be keeping up with such a fast pace of change and how we're going to support them in continuing to meet some of the standards and bars that were setting, so that everybody benefits, frankly.” - Steve Durbin 3. “So the world is also reshaping, as we're introducing AI into what we're doing. And so again, I think that the challenge from the business perspective, from the security perspective, from the technology perspective, is really about: how do you focus on what is important for your organisation, for your people, for your customers, in a world that is constantly now changing? And the speed of that change is only going to get faster. And we haven't seen that before.” - Steve Durbin 4. “So you're in a much better position, if you can control your innovations irrespective of what's going on. But you're never going to be able, I think, to divorce yourself completely from the market, because you operate in the market. And so the speed at which the market is evolving is going to, I think, determine — to a certain extent, anyway — your success in managing your own innovation, so you may need to be innovating more quickly than you're comfortable, just in order to try to keep up.” - Steve Durbin Mentioned in this episode: ISF Analyst Insight Podcast ISF Podcast: Data Dilemmas: Outsmarting the perils of AI Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Today, BBC journalist Nick Witchell interviews Steve about the threat landscape in light of a number of damaging hacks that have recently been made public. They consider the challenges regulators face given the current geopolitical situation and discuss how organisations can create a thorough cyber defense and response plan. Key Takeaways: 1. Organisations cannot abdicate responsibility for data security, even when outsourcing to third parties. They need strong incident response plans and ongoing assessment of third-party security capabilities.  2. In terms of any country's political agenda on cybersecurity, AI regulation is often overshadowed by other issues. 3. Few parliamentarians and ministers come from a security background, which is one reason why it's critical to provide guidance and insight to them. 4. A more thoughtful and funded approach to security would benefit society, considering the potential impact on people's lives and the need for effective incident response. Tune in to hear more about: 1. Accountability and responsibility in cybersecurity (1:59) 2. Role of cybersecurity centers and national institutions (5:13) 3. Government and political involvement in cybersecurity (8:29) 4. Public awareness and the ISF's role (12:21) 5. Risk management and security investment (16:32) 6. Concerns about technology implementation (20:14) Standout Quotes: 1. “We (at the ISF) don't want to be one of those organisations that's constantly barracking people and complaining. We want to be holding true to some of our founding principles, which is about providing best advice, providing some of the best tools, providing some of the best insights that we gather from our own team and also from our member community. But we do need to make more noise about that, because people desperately need to understand some of the implications, and indeed, very much more importantly, what they can actually practically do about it.”  - Steve Durbin 2. “There is no one size fits all. That's the other thing about this. You have to have it in line with your business direction, your size, your maturity, all of those sorts of things. Very often people ask me for blueprints or, what does good look like? And my answer is always the same: it varies depending on your stage of maturity and your willingness to spend, and how important your data is to you.” - Steve Durbin Mentioned in this episode: ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Jesse Oakley is a longtime member of Toastmasters International who has leveraged the organization to improve his public speaking skills, find his wife, and even write a book called "Greetings, Happy People." In this episode, he shares his inspiring stories and insights on how Toastmasters has impacted his personal and professional life. Standout Quotes: "If you are yourself, then you can realize that no matter what happens, whether the date goes well or not, it's a learning experience." – Jesse Oakley "Find a common interest or hobby with your partner, as that can be the bridge to connect and communicate with each other." – Jesse Oakley "Communicating with one person can be just as difficult as speaking to a large audience." – Jesse Oakley Key Takeaways: Find a local club to improve your public speaking and communication skills. Reflect on your own goals and dreams, and consider how you can turn them into a tangible project or book. When going on a first date, focus on being authentic and true to yourself, rather than trying to impress the other person. Embrace any rejections as learning opportunities. Identify a hobby, interest, or skill that you share with a potential partner, and use that as a way to build a stronger connection and facilitate better communication.

Today's conversation is a fascinating discussion on the nature of data with Jannis Kallinikos, professor of Information Systems at the London School of Economics. Jannis co-wrote the recently published book Data Rules: Reinventing the Market Economy, in which he and co-author Cristina Alaimo posit that data are a fluid cultural record, rather than a static statistical entity. He and Steve discuss the implications of this understanding of data for the security industry, from how it could change regulatory approaches to how we understand ourselves as humans in relation to data. Key Takeaways: 1. Kallinikos argues that data are not just statistical entities, but cultural entities that convey aspects of our world and reality. 2. Data are cultural records, not just statistical entities, and are fundamental to economic and social transformation. 2. Durbin and Kallinikos discuss concerns about data-driven perspectives reinforcing narrow worldviews. 3. Data regulation needs to reflect data's interactive and morphing nature and serves to protect society from greedy companies. 4. Kallinikos warns that politics has become instinct-based, with little time for reflection. Tune in to hear more about: 1. Data's role in society, economy, and transformation (0:00) 2. Data's impact on society, culture, and individual perspectives, with a focus on regulation and balance (7:10) 3. Data as a living entity, challenges for security professionals, and need for education (18:01) 4. Data's impact on society and politics, with a focus on education and government's role in protecting data (23:15) Standout Quotes: 1. “Data are cultural elements and not statistical entities. It makes a whole lot of difference. By cultural entities, we mean that they are records by which we represent our world. and we act upon the world. We use them to produce, we use them to interact, we use them to communicate. In this respect, data are cultural records, once again, and not statistical entities or entities like those ones that contemporary data science debates.“ - Jannis Kallinikos 2. “Think how many things we can do that were out of reach before these beasts and these technologies and the data we produce in the facilities that they prepare for us, how many things we can do that were not virtually possible before. So there is a positive side to it. But as you English say, there is no free lunch in life. And this applies here. We win a lot. But there are also important things that we lose.“ - Jannis Kallinikos 3. “But these are difficult discussions to have in politics. Because they require a little bit of reflection, a step back, a little bit of time. Politics, for good or bad, has become very instinct based over the last three or four decades. Instinct based, more to react, target, and produce reactions of a particular type that are mostly emotional or instinctual.“ - Jannis Kallinikos Mentioned in this episode: Times Higher Education: We need a social science of data by Cristina Alaimo and Jannis Kallinikos ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter  From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Do you find yourself hitting a wall when trying to persuade people to take action or change their behavior? In this episode of The Unlimited Influence, Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind, Dr. David Snyder tackles the common frustrations of failed persuasion attempts and resistance to change. He introduces powerful techniques like the Resistance Removal Protocol and restoring personal autonomy. This episode dives deep into the psychology of influence, offering actionable strategies that could transform your approach to persuasion. Listen in and be ready to unlock the secrets of human influence. Standout Quotes: "You want to learn to influence people from inside, not out." - Dr. David Snyder "The first rule, when it comes to transforming resistance, is you have to give people back their sense that it's okay to say no." - Dr. David Snyder "The rationalization that gets challenged only grows stronger." - Dr. David Snyder "When you force people to defend their beliefs and statements, they automatically become defensive." - Dr. David Snyder "Head-on collisions will never work. You've got to have them generate a reason that they might want to do something and then attack that reason." - Dr. David Snyder "Patience is power." - Dr. David Snyder Key Takeaways: Use the "Resistance Removal" approach. First, acknowledge that the person can refuse. Then, help them develop their reasons for wanting to do something. This allows people feel more in control of their decisions. Practice the "echoing" technique. When unsure what to say, repeat what the other person said. This simple technique builds trust and shows you're listening, making people more open to your ideas. Combine techniques like building emotional connections with the "Resistance Removal" approach. Using multiple strategies together can make your persuasion more effective. Be patient when persuading. Give people time to think about new ideas. Rushing them can make them suspicious and less likely to agree. Remember that changing minds often takes time. Help people find their motivation. Instead of pressuring someone or giving them rules to follow, guide them to discover why they might want to do something. When people find their own reasons, they're more likely to make lasting changes. Episode Timeline: [00:31] How can we influence people through understanding and empathy? [04:42] Why is restoring personal autonomy necessary in removing resistance? [05:13] What's the situation with smokers who don't want to quit and the people pressuring them to do so?

Dr. David Snyder discusses the art of persuasion and human influence, offering powerful insights that could transform your interactions. David highlights the value of his program, including various NLP tools and techniques. He offers a special deal for listeners to gain access to this powerful material at a significantly reduced price. He also discusses the importance of clear communication, proper language use, and effective influence techniques in the workplace. He shares techniques for building rapport and overcoming resistance using the echo technique in NLP. Tune in to start achieving success in different aspects of life! Standout Quotes: "Everything human beings do is in response to a feeling - either one they want more of or one they want less of." - Dr. David Snyder "The fastest way to change a person's decision is to change their body feelings." - Dr. David Snyder "You can influence other people's states but completely control your own." - Dr. David Snyder "Human beings are validation-seeking creatures." - Dr. David Snyder "In every conversation, there will always be something you can find in common." - Dr. David Snyder "Validation doesn't necessarily mean you agree. It means you accept what they said is true for them." - Dr. David Snyder "Words are powerful. But if you taint your words by your intonation, your emotional state, you're going to poison the interaction." - Dr. David Snyder "We as students of influence must understand that we must exert state control over things. We can't let our states control us." - Dr. David Snyder Key Takeaways: Master the "echo technique" by practicing the sequence: ask a question, pay attention to the response, validate, echo their words, and ask another question. Look for things you agree on in every discussion, even with people who think differently. This creates a friendly atmosphere and makes people more open to your ideas. Learn to keep your emotions separate from your communication strategy. Try to show that you understand others' views without agreeing with them. This helps keep conversations productive. Work on better managing your own emotions. When you can control how you feel, it's easier to influence how others feel and what they decide. When you want to change someone's mind, start by affecting how they feel physically. This often works better than just using logical arguments. For example, helping someone relax can make them more open to new ideas. Episode Timeline: [00:31] What does David Snyder's comprehensive program offer for personal and professional growth?

Risk management, leadership priorities, and the importance of collaboration (9:28) Standout Quotes: 1. “Bear in mind that when it all comes crashing down, there isn't a piece of technology in the world that will get your systems back up and running. And so don't forget the role that people have to play. So look after the people, make sure that they understand the important role that they have, because I think all too often, we talk about them being the weakest link. Actually, they're the strongest link.“ - Steve Durbin 2. “You have to focus on the crown jewels. That's your starting point. Very often, people will say to me, well, how much should we be spending? And my answer to that is, it depends. It depends on your risk profile, depends how nervous you are, it depends if you're going to enter new markets, it depends if you're coming out of markets. So you have to, as the leader of an organization, I think, juggle all of those things. And you have to do it in a very sort of swanlike way.“ - Steve Durbin 3. “You will make mistakes. And the mistake itself isn't important. What is important is how you recover from that, and how you learn from it going forward. And how you share that with other people in your organization. And how you become very much more agile to take advantage of some of the opportunities that that might open up.“ - Steve Durbin Mentioned in this episode: ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

All you have to do is have a great attitude, a sincere desire to do the drills, and get the skills." [Dr David Snyder] "The more interactive you are, the more responsive you are. I thrive on feedback; the more, the better experience you're going to have." [Dr David Snyder] "Once you can begin to perceive the world through the eyes of process and structure, which is very much what martial arts and NLP did for me, you can look beyond the jargon." [Dr David Snyder] "If you can discern the pattern yourself, great, but it's good enough that somebody can show you the pattern, and then show you how to recognize it, and then you can go out and use it." [Dr David Snyder] "Each and every one of us is carrying inside a little checklist for what constitutes what is right in our world." [Dr David Snyder] "The more easygoing, the more exploration, the more curious you become, the more you bypass people's defenses, and they in turn become more curious about you."

[Dr David Snyder] "If I could teach you nothing else today but the echo technique and the emotional bonding process, you would literally be able to write your own ticket in this life." [Dr David Snyder] "Human beings moved through the world with a jet engine and an anchor strapped to their back. Most people try to get further faster by putting more thrust to the engine which inevitably creates more drag. But if you just cut the anchor, you take off like a rocket." [Dr David Snyder] "One of the most powerful tools you can use to have people just buying book after book after book. If you write articles this is something that will absolutely make your stuff a joy to read."

On the other side, from the business perspective, they need to understand the role that technology plays in achieving what they're trying to do. Because technology equals security equals risk.“ - Steve Durbin 2. “If you look at the way in which now, technology is all pervasive, we use different elements of technology to do our jobs. So we may be doing something on our own mobile phone, for instance, which we wouldn't have been doing before. So the importance of security awareness has actually increased significantly. “ - Steve Durbin Mentioned in this episode: ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

David Snyder talks about achieving success, happiness, and wealth through self-improvement.

Throughout the episode, David emphasizes the importance of controlling one's own state, the power of the echo technique, and the significance of setting clear outcomes in persuasion situations. Standout Quotes: "Achieving success, being healthy and wealthy, and lifelong happiness is anyone's ultimate dream. In the grand scheme of things, self-doubt limits you from achieving great things." [Dr David Snyder] "The fastest way to change a person's body feelings is to change yours first." [Dr David Snyder] "Everything human beings do is in response to a feeling. It's either a feeling they want more of or a feeling they want a whole lot less of." [Dr David Snyder] "My goal is always to deliver actionable, usable content that you can take out into the field immediately to create the life you want, the way you want it." [Dr David Snyder] "Human beings are pattern-driven creatures. There's a structure to everything they do, and when you understand that, you can predict with a high degree of accuracy what they're going to do next." [Dr David Snyder] "The most powerful words any human being can hear at any given moment are the words that just came out of their mouth." [Dr David Snyder] "When you speak in a person's very own words, they hang on every word you say. They feel understood, accepted, and validated." [Dr David Snyder] "In my worldview, the ability to get a human being to want to do what you want them to do is the ultimate survival skill in a society." [Dr David Snyder] Key Takeaways: To be 30% more effective in your interactions, maintain a fun, playful attitude, as everything humans do is in response to a feeling they want more or less of. Before entering any persuasion situation, set clear outcomes and use the Universal Persuasion Protocol: control your state, get rapport, use effective language, manage their state, jump into their process, and bond to their criteria and values. Always come from a sincere desire to understand and connect when using influence techniques. Follow the master echo formula: ask, pay attention, validate, echo, and then ask again.

Today, author and disability diversity expert Ruth Rathblott offers a fresh perspective on how we understand and approach diversity in the workplace. She and Steve discuss how DEI can benefit both your culture and your business, and they give practical tips for leaders looking to build a more inclusive environment. Key Takeaways: 1. Leaders need to go first in being vulnerable and trustworthy. 2. Hiding is universal and exhausting, and people fear judgement and rejection for keeping secrets. 3. Unhiding can increase staff retention and engagement. 4. Leaders who adopt unhiding can be more innovative and creative, and better connect with millennials and Gen Z employees. 5. Unhiding is the key to connection, and it will make leaders stronger and drive business results in today's pandemic of loneliness. Tune in to hear more about: 1. Diversity, equity, and inclusion with a focus on disability inclusion (0:00) 2. Hiding and sharing personal aspects of one's identity in the workplace, with a focus on disability and diversity (5:08) 3. Leadership vulnerability and creating a safe space for teams to thrive (10:26) 4. The benefits of “unhiding” in the workplace, leading to increased trust, retention, and innovation (14:41) 5. Uncovering hidden potential through self-awareness and connection (18:49) Standout Quotes: 1. It's funny, I was talking to a woman recently. And she said, I love this concept of hiding, I love the work that you're doing, Ruth, and as a leader, I will never unhide to my team. And I said, okay, why? And she said, because I don't trust them. And it got me into the space of thinking, Steve, that either she has the wrong team, or she's the wrong leader. Because if we can't trust our teams, why are we in this business? Because that's our job is to build teams that trust us, that work with us, that get us to our next level in terms of a company. And so how do we create those spaces? And it's by leaders going first, and being vulnerable. - Ruth Rathblott 2. “There is a privilege in being able to unhide. I recognize that. In terms of being able, whether you're in the securities industry or in a different industry, because there are still in 2024 reasons that people would be fearful, and for good reason be fearful, of sharing parts of themselves, for retaliation, et cetera. I think where I've seen the benefit and the other side is the retention increases. People feel better about the place that they work, because they don't feel like they have to hide that part of themselves. They feel like this is a company who understands me, I'm going to stay longer. They feel more engaged with their peers, because they're not hiding.” - Ruth Rathblott 3. “I use the methods of therapy. I use the methods of journaling. I use the methods of meditation, to just take a pause in our lives to say, what is holding me back? Where am I hiding part of myself to fit in for fear of judgment and fear of rejection? Take that inventory or that audit on yourself. Acknowledge it.” - Ruth Rathblott Mentioned in this episode: ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Isn't it time to change the script and match your mindset with those outcomes? David gives you the blueprint to make it happen - and prove yourself wrong about how little power you really have. Standout Quotes: "Everything human beings do is in response to a feeling. It's either a feeling they want more or a feeling they want a lot less of." "Neuroscience tells us that modification is the difference that makes a difference. You don't have to believe what I say for it to work for you. Just do it and prove it to yourself one way or the other." "When you start analyzing the intensity level and organizing it, your consciousness dis-identifies from the problems—they're no longer something you are, they're something you're doing or have. And in that process, you gain power over them." "Our neurology has an inherent negativity bias. Once you understand it, you can work with it and manage it, but if you don't, you're fighting a battle with your neurology." "Start with the frame if you want to improve and increase focus. Remember a time in your life when you had a lot of focus? Reach out, touch it, make the frame bigger, and wrap it around you. "If you resolve these things properly, the things outside of you will no longer trigger you the same way they can because you're not allergic to it anymore." Key Takeaways: Start with small, achievable goals and build up success over time to feel more confident tackling larger challenges. Externalize problems through techniques like bucket listing to gain power and disidentify from issues that limit you. Test different personal transformation techniques to see what works best for you based on your experiences.

Have you been responsible for a past that has prevented you from confidently moving forward with your life? In this episode of Unlimited Influence, your host, David Snyder, reveals insights on reprograming our subconscious mind with specific types of visualization that effortlessly eliminate and alter code neurons. David begins to explore the secret structure of our memories and decipher the language through which we can decode our unconscious. You will learn some surprising spatial emotions and how to control your feelings. If you are bold enough to reprogram your primal programs right now, then read on for step-by-step ways to learn to control your life. Standout Quotes: "The power in you comes from integration, for understanding that every part is important. Every part has a role to play. And the moment you start removing pieces, you start losing power." "Anything in front of you is open, active, running. You just don't know. But you're always accessing it because you gesture and talk with your hands." "You can use this technique to make anything you want more intense, less intense, or completely unimportant." "You have every right, privilege, permission, and authority to make any change you want for any reason." "Your body gets better at what it does most often." "Your neurology automatically prioritizes the most traumatic things on the planet.” Key Takeaways: Construct a bucket list to systematically deal with prior emotional issues from least to most intense using techniques like magic frames.

Repetition is key - the more you practice techniques regularly, daily if possible, the stronger they will become and allow for greater control over emotions in mind and body. Use visualizations and physical actions to engage all components of the nervous system for peak performance. Use the awareness that these processes enable you to create change in any way you want.

But then I realized, as I matured, there's nothing wrong with my cultural background, and really, I had to lean into who I was.

In "Secrets of Human Influence - Weapons of Social Seduction Part 4," David Snyder discusses reprogramming the subconscious mind for success. David talks about persuasion techniques and personal reasons for doing something, removing resistance through autonomy restoration, persuasion techniques for influencing others, and personal development and influencer marketing. He also talks about hypnosis techniques for changing habits and behaviors. In this episode, David gives a complete plan for using hypnotic language patterns to connect with others and persuade them. He also talks about ways to overcome reluctance and control your state during persuasion. Standout Quotes: "The path towards the zenith of success and controlling your life. Is it in your hands?" "Have you triggered defensiveness so that level five jumps to level six or seven? The moment a person has to answer the 'why' question, their resistance to change gets stronger, only this time, it's getting stronger in the direction of the choice you want them to make." "Now, as you look at that reason, on a scale of zero to 10, how much might you want to do that? Why did you rate it so high? Why didn't you rate it lower?" "Anger is just a form of defensiveness. If you haven't given back their sense of safety and validation, you have to give them back their autonomy." "People can't make decisions without going into an altered state. They can't think, they can't imagine, they can't remember without altering their state." "Hypnosis is anything that takes you from one state to another functionally." "Your habits are imprints locked in at the subconscious mind." Key Takeaways: Use techniques like rapport building, restoring autonomy, and removing resistance to boost your persuasive powers and influence others. To truly influence, it's all about understanding and aligning with others' personal reasons, values, and goals. There is no need to push your own agenda. For conversation and persuasion to work, it's important to manage your own state and the states of others through language. A structured approach to persuasion, like the 7-step plan shown, can help organize the process of persuasion. Storytelling and future pacing can be a great combo. Replace those bad habits with positive goals to strengthen desired behavior changes. Take classes in NLP, hypnosis, and influence for personal growth. These classes can help you reach your goals and help others. Episode Timeline: [00:02] – How does David guide individuals to overcome self-doubt and take control of their lives?

They emphasized the importance of personal growth, self-awareness, and a step-by-step approach to dating and relationships. Tune in to learn more! Standout Quotes: "Good relationships are fundamentally easy. And they require effort, like a garden you need to keep watering.” "You can't have a relationship if you don't have chemistry. No chemistry no sex is a nonstarter for a long-term relationship. The problem is the beginning, it overrides everything." "My job is to provide some modeling and then mirror this behavior back to people. I try to be a good, solid man in the lives of women who don't have much experience with good men." "If anything, I want fewer marriages and better marriages. I don't want people to get divorced. While dating, I want to ensure that people can identify this as a future divorce." "No one has to change who they are to find love. They need to fix their broken man picker." “Everybody deserves love, but they need to love themselves first.”[Maria Romano] Key Takeaways: Focus on how potential partners treat you over time, not just initial chemistry and infatuation. Pay attention to red flags. Gain life experience through dating different people before rushing into an engagement or marriage. Take time to learn about yourself. Identify what you want in a long-term partner and healthy relationship rather than settling for less. Work to attract quality matches. Consider coaching or therapy if you feel stuck in a cycle of unhealthy dating patterns. Help is available to improve your relationship skills. Make self-care and personal growth ongoing priorities rather than blocks to finding love. Committed partnerships require two whole people.

[11:51] Why long-term relationships are beyond chemistry? [16:12] Why should you gain life experience first before being married? [18:44] How do you break bad relationship habits?

In this episode, Steve speaks with Amanda Fennell, a security professional with over two decades in the industry who currently serves as CISO and CIO of Prove and adjunct professor of cybersecurity at Tulane University. She talks to Steve about why a CISO must be an educator at heart, how to embrace feedback in order to grow, and how young professionals can shape their careers in security as the role of the CISO evolves. Key Takeaways: 1.  Important foundational principles in security include least privilege, risk mitigation, and vulnerability management. 2. Amanda Fennell suggests that new CISOs befriend their legal officers, in order to better understand security and risk. 3. Handing change can be a key indicator of high performance in security, with those who thrive in change being more likely to be high performers. Tune in to hear more about: 1. Teaching technical skills and emotional intelligence in a technical field (2:25) 2. Security leaders' communication and education strategies (4:35) 3. Security fundamentals and vulnerability management (10:37) 4. Evolving role of CISOs, career progression, and coping with stress in security leadership positions (13:21) 5. Managing stress and mental health in leadership roles (18:57) Standout Quotes: 1. “It was a long, long time ago. My boss sat me down for a performance review and said, you have a reputation for not taking feedback well, because you're really sure that you're right. And I took that to heart. And for a long time, I did have to fake that feedback coming to me, like, ‘Thank you for the feedback. I'll think about this. That's so …' You know, whatever, and just freeze your face into a smile. Now, I love it. I invite it.” -Amanda Fennel. 2.  I think that probably, my other big advice for people who are first-time CISOs who are new in their role: become good friends with your legal officer.That's going to be your best friend on the team. They understand, especially if they have compliance and audit — those people, and I say this as someone who worked at a legal tech company, software for five years — but your legal officers understand security and risk really well. And they're going to help you to interpret and translate things often. And that has been one of my biggest helps in my career. -Amanda Fennell Mentioned in this episode: ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Today, Steve is speaking with investigative tech journalist Geoff White, who has been covering tech and financial crime for more than 20 years. Listeners may be familiar with his popular podcast The Lazarus Heist for the BBC World Service, and now his new book, Rinsed: From Cartels to Crypto: How the Tech Industry Washes Money for the World's Deadliest Crooks, will be available from Penguin Random House next week.  Steve and Geoff discuss current trends in organized cybercrime, how these criminals are—or maybe aren't—adopting AI, and the difficulties law enforcement still faces in helping the victims of these crimes. Key Takeaways: 1.  Nation states and government agencies have been known to adopt tactics from organized crime gangs and activists – a sort of trickle-up effect. 2. As technological advancements are presenting criminals with new avenues for money laundering, law enforcement is not always able to keep up and instead is having to prioritize high level crimes. 3. The law enforcement landscape is a fast changing world, as agencies adapt and gain more awareness of cybercrime tactics relating to AI and cryptocurrencies. Tune in to hear more about: 1. Cybercrime evolution, nation-state involvement, and tactics (3:31) 2. AI use in cybercrime, potential for innovation and defense (8:29) 3. Cybercrime and money laundering, with a focus on the role of technology and law enforcement (11:45) 4. Cybercrime, crypto, and organized crime evolution (15:59) Standout Quotes: 1. “Sometimes the tools of organized cybercrime, gangs, nation states have also learned from hacktivists. From leaks from people like WikiLeaks or from Anonymous, they've learned the damage that a leak can do a leak of information can do. And that's fed into that disinformation piece nation states now extremely astute at getting in stealing information and then weaponizing that information to change elections, to change people's attitudes, to influence world events, the nation states have got both feet in to this cybercrime game.” -Geoff White 2. “I think maybe it's worth thinking like a criminal and understanding how thinking like a criminal is different to thinking like a different type of enterprise. The reason I enjoy thinking about organized crime and covering organized crime is because it's organized. These are networks, as you say, of professional, organized people. But they're not out to win customers. They're not like Microsoft and Google who wants to come out with innovation and innovative new products to win customers in their competition. No. They want to make money from victims. And frankly, as long as you're making enough money from your victims month in month out, you don't change. There's no reason to innovate. Crime gangs innovate when law enforcement and the force of authority stop them from making the money they usually make. That's when you innovate.” -Geoff White 3. “I think there was a time when, frankly, explaining Bitcoin to sort of rank and file police officers was a struggle. I think those days are gone … There's been this realization that things like cryptocurrency is something that law enforcement needs to be on top of.” -Geoff White 4. “As cryptocurrency gets larger, as more financial institutions get behind it, as governments get behind it, yes, it can make it more legitimate, it can expand the legitimacy of it. But it also creates more noise, if you like, for the criminals to hide.” -Geoff White Mentioned in this episode: ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Recently, British journalist Juliette Foster interviewed Steve for a feature in The European, and today we're listening to that conversation. Steve and Juliette explore a range of topics, including how to get buy-in to your security strategy at all levels of the organization, how much security should cost, navigating the regulatory landscape, and which industries and enterprises Steve believes could be templates for security. Key Takeaways: 1. Good cyber strategy aligns with business strategy, is quantifiable, and involves all employees. 2. Durbin suggests involving security in project planning to avoid retrofitting security measures. 3. Durbin suggests that security teams need to spend more time explaining security implications to business leaders in a way they can understand. 4. Durbin suggests that leaders must create a personal investment in security by providing feedback and justifying costs in a way that resonates with each individual's role and responsibilities. 5. Durbin highlights the evolving regulatory landscape, with a shift from standardization to protectionism and complexity for organizations. 6. Durbin highlights the evolving threat landscape, including malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks. Tune in to hear more about: 1. Aligning cybersecurity strategy with business goals and outcomes (1:36) 2. Cybersecurity strategies, testing, and budgeting (10:42) 3. Regulation complexity and its impact on businesses (18:00) 4. Cybersecurity investment, risk management, and emerging threats (22:44) 5. Evolving cyber threats and the importance of resilience (26:58) Standout Quotes: 1. “What is important for organizations is not to become over fixated on the threats — that's necessary, obviously, to have a good defense — but also to figure out this whole notion of resilience. How quickly could we get our systems back up and running? How quickly could we get our organization functioning again? How are we going to recover our data? Where are we storing it? Those sorts of things.” - Steve Durbin 2. “... the crux of good cyber strategy is having an alignment with a business strategy happening in alignment with what it is that the organization is looking to do on a daily basis, which in the majority of cases is: increase revenue, increase shareholder value, deliver back to employees, customers, and to further the ideals of the organization.” - Steve Durbin 3. “So the role of the security leader in any budget cycle is to try to align whatever spend she or he wishes to have with the future direction of travel of that organization. And if you can start to do that, then the whole conversation becomes very much easier. But I'm not a huge fan of setting fairly random percentages, because I think it sends entirely the wrong message. You run the risk of overspend or underspend. And what you actually want to be doing is spending appropriately to deliver the right level of protection for your critical assets, for your company, for your employees, for your shareholders, so that you can continue to provide a thriving environment.”  - Steve Durbin Mentioned in this episode: ISF Analyst Insight Podcast Read the transcript of this episode Subscribe to the ISF Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts Connect with us on LinkedIn and Twitter From the Information Security Forum, the leading authority on cyber, information security, and risk management.

Wondering if there's an age limit to love and intimacy? Navigating relationships after 50 can feel unfamiliar and challenging. Finding love and connection in later years, including identifying compatible partners and maintaining open communication, comes with challenges. It might feel overwhelming or uncertain but don't despair. In this episode of the True Love Knots Podcast, Maria is joined by Dating Coach Laurie Gerber. They will be talking about navigating relationships and intimacy for individuals in their 50s, 60s, and beyond, overcoming dating obstacles, the importance of honesty and communication in long-term relationships, launching digital programs for accessible coaching, and embracing authenticity to find fulfilling connections. Standout Quotes: "Unfortunately, I don't help couples when only one member is willing to work on it. It takes two people to make it work. If you don't have that willingness to communicate and work on the relationship, it's like banging your head against the wall—tiring and painful." "Sometimes, the best path forward is helping one person navigate their way out of a relationship that isn't serving them." "The key is to continually nurture openness and honesty in a relationship, rather than letting it fade into complacency." "Sometimes, it's not that your partner changed or you changed, but rather, you stopped cultivating intimacy and having meaningful conversations." "Dating is not frivolous, shallow, or a waste of time. It's one of the most spiritual journeys there is, where you learn about yourself and others along the way." "These men are available—smart, independent, and looking for companionship without the complications. They're out there, ready to support and love you." Key Takeaways: Prioritizing honesty and open communication to strengthen intimacy and evaluating potential partners based on compatibility and physical attraction, not just chemistry alone. Work on self-love and address your relationship patterns before blaming others or unrealistic standards. Believe in the possibility of fulfilling love, and do the necessary inner work to overcome obstacles and be present for a connection. Balance your time between career ambitions and openness to intimacy, ensuring you make room for potential partners. Use available resources such as coaching or counseling to gain relationship tools, and embrace the freedom of changing relationship norms to define love on your terms, regardless of age.
