What's the best thing small businesses can do to improve their security posture?

Tarah Wheeler lost her security badge. Deviant Ollam picked his way into "secure" spaces. Together, they show how humans make or break security and why layering defenses is key to surviving inevitable mistakes. What happens when security fails because of us? Two experts dive into the blind spots in physical, digital, and human security—and why fixing them starts with being honest about our mistakes. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Unspoken Security (sponsored by ZeroFox), AJ Nash (VP & Distinguished Fellow of Intelligence, ZeroFox) is joined by Tarah Wheeler, who is not only the CEO at Red Queen Dynamics, but also a Senior Fellow for Global Cyber Policy at the Council on Foreign Relations and Advisory Board Member for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).Tarah and AJ discuss some of the ongoing challenges facing small businesses as they attempt to defend themselves and their customers against cyber threats. Of particular interest in this conversation, Tarah has some passionate thoughts about a new Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regulation regarding breach reporting that is set to go into effect in May 2024. You're definitely going to want to hear what she has to say on this!(Spoiler Alert: Things are about to get a lot harder for small businesses!)Lastly, as with all episodes of Unspoken Security, AJ asks his guests to reveal something they had never talked about before (something "unspoken"). Tarah struggled with this one a bit (partially because she already shared a great secret earlier in the show) before giving a very cool answer that led to AJ and Tarah planning a road trip together.What a way to finish the show!

These days, it feels like customer service has been nearly all digitized. While confusion over ticket orders and lost packages can be frustrating, one space where it feels necessary for technology to hit the mark is health and wellness care. While online services and rapidly evolving technology should be making this process more fluid, moments like the crash of Healthcare.gov in 2013, as well as the shaky and muddled attempt for online services to provide benefits during COVID, call the effectiveness of this technology into question. But what is the reason for such outdated and inefficient systems when it comes to providing vital aid for people? Former deputy chief technology officer, Jennifer Pahlka, responds to this query in her new book Re-coding America: Why Government Is Failing in the Digital Age and How We Can Do Better. Pahlka argues that the government is stuck in an industrial-era culture, in which lofty goals set by the elite will often take years to be fully set in place. As time passes, the technology that these policies plan to implement is shockingly out of date. Pahlka makes the case that we must stop trying to move government onto new technology, but instead offer alternative methods to relying on outdated infrastructures. Join Jennifer Pahlka at Town Hall as she considers what it would mean to truly “recode” American government. Jennifer Pahlka is the former deputy chief technology officer of the United States and the founder of Code for America, a nonprofit that believes government can work for people in the digital age. Pahlka is the winner of a Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship, among others, and has been selected by Wired magazine as one of the people who have most shaped technology and society in the past twenty-five years. Tarah Wheeler is senior fellow for global cyber policy at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). She is also an information security executive, social scientist in the area of international conflict, and author of the best-selling book Women In Tech: Take Your Career to The Next Level With Practical Advice And Inspiring Stories.

Red Queen Dynamics founder Tarah Wheeler knows a thing or two about smashing norms in the cybersecurity industry. But as a human being, she also has some experience being compromised. You'll definitely want to tune in as she tells us about her own goal as a cybersecurity executive, and how she practices cybersecurity in her own life.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Join us for a live chat as hosts Cindy and Danny speak with cybersecurity expert Tarah Wheeler on Thursday Dec 9th at 2pm PT. They will continue the conversation that started on this episode of the podcast, exploring how we can incentivize computer security and fix computer crime laws: https://www.eff.org/tarahchat======================There are flaws in the tech we use everyday- from little software glitches to big data breaches, and security researchers often know about them before we do. Getting those issues fixed is not always as straightforward as it should be. It's not always easy to bend a corporation's ear, and companies may ignore the threat for liability reasons putting us all at risk. Technology and cybersecurity expert Tarah Wheeler joins Cindy Cohn and Danny O'Brien to explain how she thinks security experts can help build a more secure internet. On this episode, you'll learn:About the human impact of security vulnerabilities—and how unpatched flaws can change or even end lives;How to reconsider the popular conception of hackers, and understand their role in helping build a more secure digital world;How the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), a law that is supposed to punish computer intrusion, has been written so broadly that it now stifles security researchers;What we can learn from the culture around airplane safety regulation—including transparency and blameless post-mortems;How we can align incentives, including financial incentives, to improve vulnerability reporting and response;How the Supreme Court case Van Buren helped security researchers by ensuring that the CFAA couldn't be used to prosecute someone for merely violating the terms of service of a website or application;How a better future would involve more collaboration and transparency among both companies and security researchers.This podcast is supported by the Alfred P.

Cyberwar is not waged on physical battlefields following rules of engagement. Aggressors worry less about collateral damage, in part because they aren't forced to confront the sight of an enemy bleeding to death before their eyes. Instead, their victim might be someone with a pacemaker 3000 miles away. We have no words yet for this kind of crime, but there is no doubt that the moment someone targets civilians, whether with a cyberweapon or surface to air missiles, they become a war criminal.In partnership with the Fulbright Commission A lecture by Tarah Wheeler 30 MarchThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/cyberwar-crimesGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

Featuring: Dr Tran, Tarah Wheeler, Deviant Ollam

Tracking the spread of COVID-19 has proved critical to efforts to contain the virus, but to do so, public health officials need to collect and utilize large amounts of data. Tarah Wheeler, Cyber Project Fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University‘s Kennedy School of Government, joins Dr. Margaret Bourdeaux and Professor Jonathan Zittrain, co-chairs of the Berkman Klein Center’s Digital Pandemic Response Working Group, to investigate how the United States Public Health System can do this differently and responsibly.

Hackers gained access to U.S. government systems in a months-long act of cyberespionage. While the full extent of the security breach is still being determined, Tarah Wheeler explains the third-party software vulnerability that enabled the hack, and what the incoming Biden administration's priorities should be to meet a higher bar for U.S. cybersecurity.

In 2017, sensitive information from 140 million consumers in the United States was stolen as part of the Equifax data breach. We see this happen in different companies for example Yahoo and most recently Uber. Tarah Wheeler, Cybersecurity fellow at New America explains what the Equifax breach was, its impact, and why the breach wasn't handled correctly. Tarah explained how to set up an effective incident response and incident detection system. We also talked about incident response teams and what they're in charge of.

In this episode, we are live from Microsoft Ignite, where we joined more than 20,000 IT professionals in Orlando, Florida. In an interview with Information Security professional and author Tarah Wheeler, she gives us insight into her book, Women in Tech, and teases a few upcoming projects. We also get to hear from the force behind the Women in Business & Technology track at Microsoft Ignite, Dawn Conner. We wrap up the show with a discussion on the cultural sensitivity around name pronunciation. Please subscribe, rate, and share this episode.
