Security Challenges for Online Gambling - A Conversation with Jonathan Srugo
35:54
John Salomon talks to Jonathan Srugo, cybersecurity consultant, founder of Nebotain Smart Digital Defense, and former CISO of an Asian online gaming company. Internet gambling is a significant part of the online economy, and is legal (if often heavily regulated) in much of the world. Unfortunately, whether due to moral considerations or disagreements about legality, several cybersecurity actors, including vendors and government agencies, refuse to support gaming operators threatened by malicious actors. This, combined with the lucrative nature of the industry and its high degree of dependence on availability and brand integrity, often leaves companies much more vulnerable than more mainstream, traditional firms to cybercrime and attacks. In this video, we talk about an area of the cybersecurity sector that is not on the radar of many professionals working in more "traditional" industries. Jonathan shares his observations on the types of attacks, actors, and motivations that affect gaming operators, thoughts about working with vendors, law enforcement, and CSIRTs, and the views of management towards the value of information security capability. Most importantly, we discuss why failing to support any victims of cybercrime hurts everybody, whether you agree with their business model or not.

Zero Trust - What is Real in the Myth?
01:00:11
Join James Briscoe, CyAN Secretary General, as he moderates a panel of experts discussing the concept of zero trust. What are the requirements for designing and implementing true zero trust models, frameworks, and strategies? What a premises and assumptions should a zero trust architecture be based on, what use cases are relevant, and how can its security value be proven, if at all? What pitfalls should you be aware of, and how can you differentiate between vendorspeak and genuine security advantages from implementing a zero trust environment? Is absolute zero trust even practical and realistic?

AI and Automation in the Information Security World - Udi Cohen, Vendict CEO
32:15
A conversation with Udi Cohen, co-founder and CEO of Vendict, a startup providing automated AI-driven supplier risk management form data entry. In this video, we discuss various aspects of how AI will affect the information security space, particularly in the areas of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC). Udi gives his comments on the potential, as well as the limitations of generative, linguistic AI in creating content beyond filling out forms - e.g. reporting, and even analysis or risk assessment itself. Artificial intelligence is an intriguing, highly promising capability, that will increasingly allow resource strapped cybersecurity organisations to focus their attention on higher-value activities in an ever more complex information security space - in Udi's words, functioning as a "junior analyst". How will management deal with the potential of AI? How will regulators' expectations affect how AI is employed? How will AI impact the industry's ability to ensure a new talent pipeline? Join us for these topics and more. Vendict - https://vendict.com, or on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/vendict.

Jean-Christophe Le Toquin - Privacy vs. Security
27:24
John and J-C Le Toquin finally and conclusively solve the age-old conflict between cyber-privacy and security! No, not really. Rather, we have an interesting discussion of the history, context, and current considerations around this highly contentious topic. How should society, legislators, and law enforcement balance the right to privacy with the need for effective investigations? How can we give law enforcement and intelligence agencies the means for effectively tracking various types of miscreants, including child abusers, terrorists, and miscellaneous other cybercriminals, without violating citizens' ability to protect their communications, including from potentially abusive governments?
Jean-Christophe Le Toquin is a managing partner at SOCOGI in Paris, France. He is co-founder of CyAN, as well as its President and member of the board of directors. As a veteran advisor in the fight against cybercrime and online child abuse, he is President of INHOPE, a global network of hotlines for the combat of Child Sexual Abuse Materials (CSAM), as well as Coordinator of Encryption Europe.

William Binney
01:11:06
In this “Secure in Mind” podcast episode, we are joined by one of the most influential whistleblowers of the last 50 years – William Binney. Throughout modern history, few people have had such far-reaching impact in alerting the general populace of the more shrouded and controversial goings-on of our custodians of law, order, civility, and society. Time is a fickle, wondrous illusion, and when the control of a particular narrative is stalwart, even the most significant events can and will oft slip into vaporous annals of forgotten bygones. Some events and people, however, remain a thorn in the proverbial backside of an institution – enough to tip the scales toward a more open, transparent conversation with the citizenry.

Senator Vernon White
41:59
In this “Secure in Mind” podcast episode, we are honoured to welcome Canadian Senator Vernon White, who shares with us his perspective on security, based on his policing, political and strategic expertise So, the war on drugs is a complete success, isn’t it? Well… all one has to do, if they are not privy to this darker part of our world, is to jump on google, plug in “cartel violence” or “drug seizure record” or “[insert drug here] epidemic” and you’ll likely come to the conclusion that the resounding answer is a big, fat “no”. Specifically, Vern shared with us a new vision on Canada’s efforts to fight illegal drug trafficking, an approach focused on helping and reducing the demand rather than focusing merely on the supply side, following globally recognized models in this respect, namely Switzerland and, partially and arguably, Portugal. The final, broader aim encompasses the interest and safety of entire communities, being those strategies targeted at combating organized crime – both national and international -, society degradation, the spreading of terrorism, death and illegality

Neil Walsh
54:49
In this “Secure In Mind” episode, it was a privilege to welcome Neil Walsh to the podcast for a second time. Neil is the Chief of Cyber-Crime & Money Laundering at the United Nations Office on Drugs & Crime. Please listen to this episode – the impacts of COVID extend beyond the hospital bed and awareness raising is key In the space of a circa 40 minute conversation, Neil and I pivot from an opening filled with genuine good humor and laughter about the current niggles that we are experiencing (my talking tongues to wardrobes / Neil’s ill-fitting slacks) through to the seriousness of suffering for so many victims of physical and sexual abuse of (mostly) children and women in a world of lockdown. The life of victims / responders i.e., law enforcement / or the perpetrators themselves is shocking to many folks simply because it is not part of their day to day. Of course, the life of an impoverished and starving refugee escaping a war zone in bare foot is also a shocking reality. I could go on but the point I want to draw is that these realities exist, regardless if many are ignorant, willfully, or not. Indeed, ignoring or shifting onus of phenomena such as child abuse and domestic abuse to that of a dark deity by using terms grounded in intangible contexts – ‘demonizing’ – does not help to mitigate or effectively contain and prevent it here on planet earth. I raise this point since it is incredibly easy to categories what has been identified in numerous studies as a neurological anomaly as evil – incredibly easy and incredibly true since the word evil is (correctly) attributed to that which causes immense pain and suffering. But just as we have increased life-spans and quality of existence (according to most metrics you can run a ruler over) through science and practicality rather than voodoo or our heads in the sand, so too can we at best prevent and at least minimize this pain-causing phenomenon as well. In short, child abuse and domestic abuse are devastating issues, currently amplified by perpetrators spending more time at home with their victims and evidenced by a vast increase in new generated abuse material available on darknet and Clearnet platforms. Organizations like UNODC, LE, Intel etc. can and do combat this through the application of multiple, practical strategies – they do an incredible job amid the deluge of horror they have to wade through. I’ll leave the reader now to press play and let the podcast do the talking as is its purpose. There are links at the bottom of the page. One in particular stands out: it is the result of decades and more spent by UNODC and associated stakeholders (LE / intel / Civil Society / Aid) trying to tackle a societal ill, facing an equal or greater amount of the same problem day after day. This link tries to nip a potential calamity in the bud before it has jumped the cranial firewall of a would-be perpetrator. It is the necessary confrontation of a sickness epitomized in a link borne of prevention, and as Neil comments during the podcast, if this awareness-raising means that even one individual halts an urge before it manifests in the real-world – a real-world with real-world pain, suffering and consequence – then the awareness has served its purpose. This podcast has a mixed bag of listeners, some of whom know the challenges faced in fighting the above problems all too well. Some of the listeners do not share this level of insight. For both segments, share this episode: not because you enjoyed it – because you may not – but because it needs to be shared to raise awareness to either encourage victims to come forward or encourage potential perpetrators to seek help before, not after, the fact.. The Secure in Mind project Our mission is to greatly increase and encourage community discussion about technological and ethical issues that have done, are and will impact society on a global scale. There is a longstanding and distinct disconnect between the way information is packaged and presented to the public and the effectiveness of this presentation in terms of generating informed, considered debate. |

(Well I’m an Australian so I’ll ask you, dear audience!). What is it to be Italian? Or French? Or Greek? Is it the type of food grown and eaten from a specific location on a map?
