On the Tech for Business podcast, Collin (Manager of Solutions Engineering at ThreatLocker) and Nate (Director of Cybersecurity at CIT) discuss how to build cybersecurity awareness and secure habits earlier—especially in K–12 and universities—based on Colin's dark web presentations showing frequent compromises in education. They explore generational shifts as kids adopt internet-connected devices earlier, the need to normalize fundamentals like password management, passphrases, password managers, and MFA/2FA (even for gaming accounts), and the growing importance of social engineering and spotting AI deepfakes. The group debates who should own curriculum standards, notes North Dakota's requirement for at least one computer science or cybersecurity course to graduate, and considers “digital citizenship,” parent responsibility, and the role of schools, industry, and regulation. They also discuss improving workplace onboarding and training through better access controls and aptitude-based, personalized education.00:00 Meet the Guests00:46 Why Youth Cyber Matters03:53 Campus Reality Check05:56 Kids Tech Skills Gap08:33 Gaming as Security Hook10:51 Curriculum Needs Updating13:26 Digital Citizenship Debate15:12 Parents Schools and Equity17:34 Regulation and Age Checks21:45 Core Fundamentals to Teach22:18 Passphrases Basics22:40 Deepfakes And Social Engineering24:26 Social Media Risks For Kids25:53 Spotting Tech Skill Gaps27:25 Curiosity As A Tech Signal28:42 Parenting Misinformation Lessons30:23 Rethinking Security Training33:17 Tools Over Awareness Alone36:15 Aptitude Tests And Personalization40:24 Curriculum And Who Decides41:08 Big Tech Shaping Education43:51 Wrap Up And Next Episode

ThreatLocker's APAC director of operations, Emile Barakat, joins Cyber Daily's David Hollingworth to discuss what makes the Essential Eight so essential, the federal government's budget spend on cyber security, and the Australian outlook on cyber crime and why it happens here. This week on the Cyber Uncut podcast, Cyber Daily deputy editor David Hollingworth speaks with Emile Barakat, the head of cyber security firm ThreatLocker's operations in the Asia-Pacific region. ThreatLocker – and its boss, Danny Jenkins – is a big fan of Australia's Essential Eight cyber security standard, but what really makes that tick, and why is it so important? The pair discuss just why it's one of the gold standards of cyber protection and why other countries should take note. Then it's time to consider this year's budget and the role of government in securing businesses, economies, and consumers in a world of growing cyber threats. Finally, Hollingworth and Barakat get to grips with the local threat landscape and the human challenges of cyber security. "Typically, an organisation will run security awareness training every quarter. Some will do it less frequently, unfortunately," Barakat says. "Even with that training, you'll see compromises and, at times, the same employees make the same mistakes." Enjoy, The Cyber Uncut team

Show Summary: Mudita Khurana — Tech Lead at Airbnb and the person who always says, “I got this” No Password Required Season 7: Episode 6 - Mudita Khurana Mudita Khurana is a Tech Lead for Automated Tooling and Vulnerability Management at Airbnb, where she focuses on building modular, scalable security systems in an era of rapidly evolving AI threats. Before Airbnb, she spent nearly a decade in security roles across Accenture, Meta, and PwC, making bold career pivots along the way, including turning down a PwC return offer to join Facebook's product security team. In this episode, Mudita shares her journey from a family of doctors in India to Carnegie Mellon and into the heart of Big Tech security. She discusses what it means to thrive as a non-traditional engineer in a deeply technical field, why she stepped back from management to get closer to the work, and how she thinks about building security tooling that won't be obsolete in three months. Jack Clabby and co-host Kayley Melton, recording live from Tampa B-Sides at the University of South Florida, talk with Mudita about imposter syndrome, AI's curveballs for security teams, leadership without a leadership title, and the importance of community in staying on top of a field that never stops moving. She also reflects on what great mentorship looks like early in a career and why clarity, ownership, and consistency are the leadership qualities she keeps coming back to. In the Lifestyle Polygraph, Mudita firmly plants her flag in the Harry Potter universe as Hermione, explains why Deadpool doesn't qualify as a superhero, debates gym vs. nature as a reset strategy, and reveals her dream remote work base: a high-altitude Buddhist mountain town in the Himalayas.

This week, hosts of N2K CyberWire Maria Varmazis and Dave Bittner alongside Joe Carrigan are discussing the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines. They're also joined by special guest Kieran Human, Lead Cybersecurity Engineer at ThreatLocker . Dave's story is on an FBI warning that the Silent Ransom Group is escalating its extortion tactics by combining phishing and fake IT support calls with in-person visits, where attackers may physically enter offices to plug malicious devices into company computers. Joe's story is on a listener-submitted case from Australia where attackers used a phishing email to silently install legitimate remote-access software, hijack a dental practice's email system, and launch a large-scale phishing campaign that bypassed many traditional security controls. Maria's story is on a California mother who lost $5,000 after scammers used what appeared to be her daughter's voice in a fake kidnapping call, highlighting the growing threat of AI-powered voice cloning scams. Our Catch of the Day comes from a text scam that took an unexpected turn when the recipient fired back with a response the scammer definitely wasn't prepared for.

It started with a fake car listing on eBay.What looked like a simple online scam quietly grew, over more than a decade, into one of the most sophisticated cybercrime operations the FBI had ever traced. Custom malware. Opsec off the charts. Fleets of infected computers mining cryptocurrency for someone else. Millions of dollars siphoned from victims who had no idea.This is the story of Bayrob and the three men from Romanian who were behind it. And the long, strange road that led American investigators to their door.SponsorsSupport for this show comes from ThreatLocker®.

Over the last decade, cybersecurity heavily invested in EDR, XDR, SIEM, telemetry, and SOC-driven operations. We stopped asking how to stop attacks and started asking how fast we could detect them. However, Mythos and frontier models have changed that paradigm. How do you detect a -7 day vulnerability? Detection and response cannot keep, so what's the answer? Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss why cybersecurity is shifting from detection and response to prevention and enforcement. As attackers accelerate through automation and AI, organizations are revisiting prevention-focused controls. Rob will discuss why organizations need to adopt application allowlisting, Zero Trust, Ringfencing, and policy enforcement to reduce attacker freedom before execution occurs. Prevention-first security is the only way to decrease the AI attack surface. This segment is sponsored by ThreatLocker. Visit https://securityweekly.com/threatlocker to learn more about them!

If you have to ditch your entire appsec strategy because you expect 2026 to bring more vulns more quickly, then you probably didn't have a good strategy in the first place. Rob Allen shares how the mentality of "assume breach" doesn't have to be a defeatist attitude and can instead be a way to change a catastrophic breach into a more contained one. We also talk about proactive security and what an "avoid breach" attitude could look like, including how to apply the macro lessons of default deny and network isolation to writing secure code.

No Password Required: No Password Required: Next Gen - Ep. 2 - Tim Kircher From Freshman Stress to Cyber Success: Formula 1, Pickleball, and hacking in Real life In this episode of No Password Required: Next Gen, Yazzel Corona interviews Tim Kircher, a cybersecurity student at USF and member of the Security Operations Center Apprenticeship Program at Cyber Florida. Tim shares how his fascination with technology first sparked his interest in cybersecurity. From networking advice and navigating the chaos of a cybersecurity education, Tim keeps it real, giving us all the tips about what it takes to get started successfully in the field. He talks about why communication skills matter just as much as technical ability in the age of AI and automation, and how taking things “one day at a time” helped shape his journey. Outside of cyber mode, Tim is a huge pickleball and Formula 1 fan, leading to fun conversations about cyber pit crews, movie hacking scenes, and why Mercedes would absolutely be his dream team. From defensive cyber operations to teamwork and leadership, Tim's story is all about staying curious, building connections, and finding your path in cybersecurity.
