Today we have Mark Berman, CEO of Future Feed, on the podcast. He discusses the changing cybersecurity landscape with a focus on the government's role in improving standards. Mark believes the cybersecurity landscape is changing for the better, with a rise in awareness and government regulations. The focus is shifting from reactive measures to building security into business practices from the ground up. This will have a significant impact on Managed Service Providers (MSPs) who will need to adapt to stricter compliance requirements

On the podcast today we are talking with Andrew Harding. We discuss some of the biggest recent changes in cybersecurity including the move to remote work, which has created new challenges because companies no longer have control over the infrastructure their employees are using. Traditional network security solutions like firewalls are no longer sufficient, as threat actors have shifted their focus to browser vulnerabilities. Companies need to focus on securing the browser and using a zero-trust security model. Andrew is excited about the potential of remote browser isolation to improve security for remote workers. Remote browser isolation can help mitigate browser-based threats and simplify security for remote and hybrid workforces.

We are very fortunate to have Ken with us for our 300th episode. He has built a great following around cybersecurity training and education. He really focuses on the fundamentals. Cybersecurity is constantly evolving, but mastering the fundamentals remains crucial for effective defense. He also stresses making training relatable. Don't just train, educate users in a way that connects with their specific roles and challenges. Use Generative AI has the potential to streamline security operations by filtering alerts and reducing alert fatigue. Consider the specific needs and risk profile before implementing zero trust. Zero trust is not a one size fits all solutions. Embrace the human element to all this. Don't blame users for falling victim to attacks, instead, focus on building a culture of awareness and shared responsibility.

We are very happy to welcome Amber back to the podcast! A lot has happened since episode 3, so we have a lot to catch up on. She tells us about the digital investigations that Paraben has been up to. She talks to us about the current state of cybersecurity and how it has changed in the last two and a half years. Amber talks about the current trends and especially the metaverse and how people will make money there. Transactions = Crime. It will be part of the younger generations daily life, which means it will draw bad actors. Especially when the video games industry makes it way there in scale.
