Last year Americans lost $10.3 billion to online crime; contrast that with the estimated $1.3 billion lost to home robberies.  Today's interview with Dr. Zulfikar Ramzan from Aura gives our federal listeners ideas on how to protect your identity. We have learned that when a person's identity gets compromised, it can lead directly to their employer, an especially sensitive problem when considering people who work for the federal government. In the cybersecurity community the gold standard for a detached perspective on understanding cyber threats is the annual Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, commonly referred to as the DBIR. This report reinforces many of the threats presented by Dr. Zulfikar.  The DBIR shows that 74% of breaches involved the human element.  This can be anything from compromised passwords to identity theft.  In the corporate world, this can lead to financial compromise.  In the federal world, it can lead to an international incident. Let's state the obvious: since Covid, remote workers have taxed the ability for systems managers to protect assets with simple username and password logins. Other ways to verify identity must be considered. Dr. Ramzan has a PhD. From MIT and 60 patents.  He was involved in a leading cybersecurity organization when he heard of the innovations coming out of Aura.  As a result, he decided to take his impressive background and hone in on helping individuals protect their identity.   Follow John Gilroy on Twitter @RayGilray Follow John Gilroy on LinkedIn  https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Listen to past episodes of Federal Tech Podcast  www.federaltechpodcast.com  

Higher prices are affecting just about everything we buy, including housing and transportation. The Feds recently raised interest rates to slow down borrowing which will hopefully bring down prices for consumers. And that makes the perfect opportunity for scammers to take advantage of you. So today, we're talking to Zulfikar Ramzan. He's the Chief Scientist at Aura which is an online security company that helps prevent consumers from being scammed online. He tells us his company has seen a dramatic uptick in loan and interest rate scams tied to inflation. He'll also tell us how the scams work and what you need to look out for to keep from getting ripped off.

In this podcast, RSA Chief Technology and Product Officer, Zulfikar Ramzan, will address the challenges and opportunities of cybersecurity in a post pandemic world including where the industry has been and where it needs to go.

This week, we welcome Zulfikar Ramzan, Ph.D., Chief Digital Officer at RSA Security, to talk about how Zero Trust Intersects XDR in Today’s Digital Era! In the second segment, the SCW crew and Dr. Ramzan talk about Cyber Credit Score Industry! Someone made an offhand comment about the Cyber Credit Score Industry on one of our shows a couple weeks ago, so we thought we'd bring it up as a compliance topic. We'll define what we're talking about when it comes to Cyber Credit Scores - what they are intended to do and for whom. Then we'll pick it apart, SCW style!   Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/scw53 Visit https://securityweekly.com/rsasecurity to learn more about them!   Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/scw for all the latest episodes!

The rapid shift to distributed work, along with radical changes in human behavior, is expanding digital risk for organizations and creating new opportunities for malicious actors. As such, organizations are rethinking how they define trust in securing critical data and resources. This interview will cover how capabilities and trends, such as XDR and passwordless authentication, are empowering organization to “never trust” and “always verify” leveraging unprecedented visibility and insight to protect what matters most.   This segment is sponsored by RSA Security.

Zero Trust sounds impressive and futuristic, but it isn't really a new concept — and what does it actually mean? It is not that different from past trust models such as Trust But Verify and Least Privilege.So, here we are once again, stating the obvious: if we don't think differently about the problems we face, we're not going to be able to solve them.Security practitioners and managers are bombarded by marketing messages that require decoding and interpretation, and how to make a decision is more than a matter of trust v literally. Do they listen to analysts, vendors, auditors, their peers, or their gut?Security professionals and their teams are expected to keep up with the changes as new industry reports come out and new technologies are brought to market. Still, they are often forced to continuously think differently about the problems they face in a confusing, distracting, and counterproductive way. This is simply not good for our industry nor our businesses' security.In today's episode, we muse and question the status quo that has characterized our industry for the past 20 years. We go beyond this debate and beyond the Zero Trust concept to look at how organizations should evaluate not just their tech stack but also their teams, operations, and processes. We reflect on where trust fits in, how it plays a crucial role in a security program, and why it isn't binary in nature.Yes, you must think differently, but it's not a good idea to rely on others to think differently for you. Think for yourself and your organization — as you are the one that knows what matters the most for your business.Then, put your thinking cap on and enjoy this episode of Redefining Security."You have this perfect plan, but then you hit the real world and no plan survives contact with the enemy." —Dr. Zulfikar Ramzan"Why do we keep doing this? We continue to chase technology. Why do we not think about the human? Why do we think about the process and procedures? Zero Trust would be great if we could actually know where the hell all the data was inside an environment." —Chris Roberts"We are our own worst enemy. We produce something that is beautiful in our head, but it doesn't work in practice."  —Francesco Cipollone"We're always looking for the easy button as an industry and then blame vendors when they buy the easy button and it doesn't work." —Siân JohnGuest(s)Siân John | Zulfikar Ramzan | Chris Roberts | Francesco CipolloneThis Episode's Sponsors:Nintex: https://itspm.ag/itspntweb____________________________To see and hear more podcasts and webcasts about Redefining CyberSecurity for your business, tune in to ITSPmagazine at:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurityAre you interested in advertising on ITSPmagazine?

While you may not be familiar with the tech industry's latest acronym, DARQ, you've probably heard of its constituent components: distributed ledger, artificial intelligence, extended reality and quantum computing technology. Three of those four could be set to have a significant impact on the future of security, with possibilities including unbreakable encryption algorithms, AI-enhanced cyber attacks and much more.In this week's episode of the IT Pro Podcast, we're joined by RSA CTO Dr. Zulfikar Ramzan to dig into the future of these technologies, and the effect they could have on cyber safety. We discuss why blockchain is the betamax of distributed ledgers, the cost of a quantum attack, and why your next compliance officer might just be a robot.

Discussing cryptography is usually a surefire way to end a dinner conversation. It combines two things that intimidate (and bore) many people: hard tech and complex math. In spite of this, cryptography is on center stage today as it is the very foundation of defending our privacy and perhaps unlocking how we can safely share health information in the midst of the pandemic. There are few people who both understand and can explain cryptography in plain English better than Dr. Zulfikar Ramzan, CTO of RSA.Our hour long conversation with Zully tackles how concepts such as zero knowledge proofs and multiparty computation might be applied during the current COVID-19 pandemic. Historically, sharing healthcare information has been an “all or nothing” affair with difficult privacy trade-offs being made in the name of ensuring we receive the right care at the right time. Zully takes us through how long standing encryption concepts, now made practical by advances in computing, may allow us to selectively share vital health information such as vaccination records or test results without sacrificing our personal privacy.Zully also explains how cryptographers are preparing for a world where quantum computers can make short work of our current encryption practices. He draws perspective from the mid-90s when the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) was being developed and explains the road ahead for promising lattice-based methods that could form the basis of a new, post-quantum AES replacement.Beyond cryptography, we discuss Zully’s role as CTO at one of the most iconic brands in security. He takes us through “a day in the life” and explains his responsibilities beyond being the company’s spokesperson. Perhaps more importantly, Zully explains how he balances all of this with his family where making crispy cauliflower takes priority over factoring prime numbers.

A Their Story conversation with Sean Martin, Marco Ciappelli, and RSA Security executives, customers, and partners. This is a 3-part podcast and webcast series with RSA Security executives and business leaders along with some of their strategic customers and partners. The series will explore the accelerated digital transformation disruption as organizations evaluate their risk as it maps to their current and future business operations. The 3 episodes include: SECURITY | WORKFORCE | BUSINESS Episode 1: SECURITY Guests: Zulfikar Ramzan, CTO RSA Security Mike Newborn, CISO, Navy Federal Credit Union In this first conversation, Zulfikar Ramzan and Mike Newborn tackle the elephant in the room—the digital disruption introduced by the current pandemic and the impact it has on risk management activities, security programs, and business operations. Ultimately, it’s about keeping the customers at the center of the conversation—in the heart of the culture. There is no more time, nor room, for denial—the future is here and businesses need to adapt to and prepare for what’s ahead, what will remain, and what legacy parts of the company will disappear. We all know that there are severe implications of the pandemic on the cybersecurity workforce, information security programs, and risk management strategies, but this is no time for despair—despite all that we are dealing with, this is a time for reflection and improvement. Today, organizations can identify new risks introduced by digital transformation and take this as an opportunity to reduce exposure in legacy and new systems, applications, and processes. This is the time to look at the future and take actions that will last and shape their security strategies for years to come. Through communication and collaboration, our industry can work together to embrace the disruption in a way that can support immediate and long term business sustainability. Indeed, dealing with the here and now is fundamental, even if that means adjusting the risk appetite for the short term, but it also means that organizations that intend to stick around for the long haul should take the time to reflect and plan for more resiliency embracing a culture of security and privacy with the customer in mind. Have a listen to this episode, share it, and stay tuned for the ones to come.

From our RSA CHARGE 2019 coverage | In Orlando. Florida A conversation with Dr. Zulfikar Ramzan, CTO (RSA Security)
 Ask 20 people what “business risk” is, and you will likely end up with 20 different responses. On top of that, it’s very likely that all 20 answers not only won’t match, but they probably won’t even relate to risk itself.  Business risk is about how often something bad could happen paired with the impact it can have on the company activity and performance. There’s a small, yet precise, distinction between risk and threats, or even vulnerabilities: per RSA Security’s CTO, Dr. Zulfikar Ramzan, you’ll get a much clearer picture of what matters to the business and its operations when you think of risk in these terms. We had a fun, in-depth, and educational conversation with Zully, taking full advantage of being in the story-telling world of W. Disney, and even making some connections with his creativity, legacy, and business acumen.   Have a listen and see if your own risk management story will end as you want it to. ______________

Cybersecurity can seem overwhelming, as more data moves into the cloud and internet-enabled devices proliferate. Possibly even more daunting than dealing with potential threats is evaluating the hundreds of new vendors offering solutions. Which “next best thing” can truly keep your data protected? Is security a technology problem or a human one? How can outnumbered “good guys” gain a tactical advantage over threat actors? Dr. Zulfikar Ramzan brings his expertise to bear on this tricky topic, sharing the four critical criteria businesses can use to evaluate cybersecurity solutions, how businesses should prioritize security spending, and why he remains optimistic for the future.
