Join us this week for another episode of Breaking Through in Cybersecurity Marketing. Today, we're talking with Dillon Townsel, Head of Public Relations at Armis, as he takes us on a ride through his career journey. From Egypt and Afghanistan to IBM: Dillon tells the story of how he, like many others, unexpectedly found cybersecurity and ended up loving it. He also shares how he found himself teaching cybersecurity and emphasizes that knowledge in the field is not the first thing he looks for in employees.    Timecoded Guide: [02:15] Background as a musician, opening recording studios, and sales [09:23] X-Force Red and working for IBM [13:09] Working as a combat journalist and telling stories [20:43] How to gain technical knowledge in the field [27:40] Why Dillon could be a professor   Dillon's technical background and the journey of getting there  Dillon shares how his technical background in cybersecurity came in more towards the middle of his career trajectory. First, he tells how his technical knowledge fell like dominoes into more opportunities down the road. Dillon shares how his music background led him to learn the ins and outs of a recording studio which then led him to broadcast journalism in the military. He built on this, eventually going into security PR and then working on a team called X-Force Red at IBM.   “That was tough at times, right, I was out by myself, lugging around camera gear for . . . four or five days at a time. I learned a lot. Getting stories out of people and just going out and you've never met this person before. And your goal is to go out, meet some 21-year-old kid from Oklahoma, and find out what's interesting about maintaining a Humvee or working on military equipment—pulling the stories out of people.”   Meant to be: Jumping into cyber at X-Force Red After taking paternity leave, Dillon dove into cybersecurity, taking a job at IBM. He describes how, on the team, he looked for security vulnerabilities and emphasized that, at IBM, everyone is a customer. He shares why this took a lot of trust-building and how his team ended up getting media coverage for hacking into cars and exposing security vulnerabilities in nuclear power plants, among other things. Along with X-Force Red, Dillon also worked on Trusteer and mobile device management. “I think IBM Security was probably my crash course. That was when I got the most exposure to the most diverse set of security projects that are out there—because IBM Security works on everything. And so the possibilities are endless.”   Boots on the ground stories in Afghanistan Dillon takes us back to his time in Afghanistan and traces back where and how he learned to tell meaningful stories. Aside from getting senior leaders camera-ready and running a radio show, during his time in the service, Dillon had to learn how to tell stories on the fly. This, he says, prepared him for his future endeavors working in PR. Now, he takes his technical and journalistic experience, working at Armis Security. “Especially when we were doing stuff with X-Force Red, we had to take those stories and figure out 'why is this important to the average person?' 'Why would my grandmother care about this piece of security research?' And so it was always about finding the human element and being able to tell that side of security because everything we do is eventually protecting regular citizens. So all of this stuff trickles down to them.”   Where do you see print fitting in today's cybersecurity marketing? Dillon says that, although the majority of his background is in broadcasting, print is aecessary. He also mentions that he picked up a lot of copyediting experience throughout his career which has become quite valuable in his job. He says that his skill set has allowed him to review press releases, video scripts, and other writing. Dillon emphasizes that, in the end, little skill sets can go a long way throughout someone's career—whatever job they find themselves in. “In our world, telling a story in print is aecessary, right? We must get our commentary and thought leadership into those articles, making the business press understand why security is important.” ---------- Links: Spend some time with Dillon on LinkedIn and Twitter.

IBM Security Research Reveals Unprecedented Increase in COVID-19 Themed Scamsespecially emails. Insights on How to Protect Yourself.Stephanie Carruthers (known by her hacker alias, Snow) specializes in social engineering–thinking like a criminal in order to “hack” the human psyche, creating ruses to lure them into divulging sensitive information or taking an action. Cybercriminals use this tactic for their advantage, helping them tailor a more targeted cyberattack or even gain physical access to a secure facility. Fortunately, Stephanie hacks humans in order to help businesses find and fix their security holes, as part of IBM's X-Force Red. Companies hire X-Force Red to break into their networks in order to find the security flaws that exist in their technology, processes, and staff awareness. For Snow, this means gathering information that has been overshared on the web, using her social engineering skills to go “vishing” (voice phishing) for additional intel on the phone, and even creating and using fake badges, costumes, and other tricks of the trade to get inside a company's physical location. Snow also finds information that can help the team hack a company's computer network; such as passwords on sticky notes in the background of a YouTube video, photos of security badges with employee info displayed or laptop screens showing the types of software a company uses.

Daniel Crowley has a long list of software platforms, computers, and Internet of Things devices that he suspects he could hack. As research director of IBM's offensive security group X-Force Red, Crawley's job is to follow his intuition about where digital security risks and threats may be lurking, and expose them so they can be fixed. But so many types of computing devices are vulnerable in so many ways, he can't chase down every lead himself.

As we prepare to enter 2019, are passwords on their way to obsolescence? Dustin Heywood, a.k.a. Evil Mog, says no. Heywood brings his expertise as a penetration tester and password cracker to this episode of the X-Force Red in Action series [ibm.co/2lUG2YQ].

X-Force Red.  Sure, they will break thru building security AND your code, but it’s cool…They get PAID to do it. Listen to Charles Henderson weave thru the human nature components of security exploits. We learned about “cover stories”, how to “counter accuse” and why having a “good” corporate culture can actually be a threat vector!

Cybersecurity at banks, to quote BAI managing director Karl Dahlgren, is a constant game of Whac-A-Mole as institutions struggle to stay a step ahead of resourceful, relentless malefactors. Yet for all the concerns, banks are only as strong as their weakest link—which in some cases might be an anemic office password such as “1234.” David Bryan, the self-described “Breaker of Things” for IBM’s X-Force Red, reveals how white hat hackers test (and often defeat) the cybersecurity measures businesses have in place, while offering practical advice for keeping bank data secure.
