Modern Cyber with Jeremy Snyder23 Maj 2024

Craig Taylor of CyberHoot

In this episode of the Modern Cyber podcast, Jeremy talks to Craig Taylor of CyberHoot. The pair discuss critical aspects of cybersecurity, focusing on incident response, tabletop exercises, and the importance of regular testing and updating of backup systems.

Craig highlights the need for cyber literacy, emphasizing the frequent causes of breaches such as phishing, social engineering, and weak passwords. The discussion also touches on the role of AI in both aiding and combating cyber threats. AI helps hackers improve phishing emails and exploit vulnerabilities, but it also enhances intrusion detection systems by identifying anomalies quickly.

Craig shares an anecdote about a company where an HR employee was tricked into purchasing $26,000 worth of gift cards for a scammer posing as the CEO, highlighting the importance of cyber literacy training to prevent such incidents. He underscores that until cyber literacy is widely taught and enforced, phishing and social engineering will remain prevalent attack vectors. This is an episode you don't want to miss.
