    BlackCloak Exposes a Surge in Cyber Attacks Targeting Crypto-Invested Venture Capital and Private Equity Firms | A BlackCloak Brand Story with Chris Pierson

    In the recent installment of Brand Stories with BlackCloak, co-hosts Marco Ciappelli and Sean take a journey into the escalating issue of cyber threats facing venture capitalists, private equity professionals, and affluent individuals invested in cryptocurrency. This episode stands out for its insightful analysis into how cybercriminals are increasingly targeting high-net-worth individuals, employing sophisticated strategies to breach their privacy and security and to steal their cryptocurrency. The discussion, enriched by the expertise of Chris Pierson, CEO and founder of BlackCloak, along with in-depth research from his team, highlights the imperative for tailored cybersecurity solutions in an era where financial investments intersect with digital vulnerability.

    The conversation begins with an overview of the emerging trend where cybercriminals meticulously target individuals at the apex of financial and technological investments. Pierson’s input paints a detailed picture of the advanced tactics these nefarious actors use, ranging from social engineering to advanced phishing and hacking methods. These tactics are not random; they are precisely aimed at exploiting the unique lifestyles and the consequent vulnerabilities of high-net-worth individuals, making the need for customized cybersecurity measures more critical than ever.

    A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to discussing the necessity of concierge-style cybersecurity services. Pierson emphasizes that BlackCloak’s approach is far from generic; it offers bespoke protection plans that cater to the individual’s specific lifestyle and risk profile. This personalized approach is crucial, as the assets and digital footprints of high-net-worth individuals are far from ordinary and require specialized protection strategies.

    Pierson further outlines essential mitigating controls and risk reduction tactics that are pivotal in safeguarding against cyber-attacks. The focus here is on creating a multi-layered defense system that protects personal devices, secures network connections, and minimizes vulnerabilities related to one's digital presence. This strategy is not only about defending against current threats but also about being agile enough to adapt to new risks as they emerge.

    A key insight from the discussion is BlackCloak’s proactive stance in anticipating future cybersecurity challenges. The cyber threat landscape is dynamic, with criminals continuously innovating to find new ways to breach defenses. BlackCloak’s methodology is centered on staying ahead of these threats through anticipation and preparation, ensuring their clients remain protected against both current and future vulnerabilities.

    This episode goes beyond traditional cybersecurity discussions, focusing on the nuanced challenges faced by individuals whose financial success makes them prime targets for cybercriminals. It underscores the importance of investing in advanced, personalized cybersecurity solutions in today’s digital age. For venture capitalists, private equity professionals, and cryptocurrency investors, the message is clear: sophisticated, tailored cybersecurity and privacy protection is not an option but a necessity.

    The insights provided in this episode of Brand Stories with BlackCloak offer a comprehensive look into the complexities of protecting high-net-worth individuals in the digital realm. It serves as a crucial resource for anyone involved in high-stakes investment sectors, highlighting the need for vigilance, sophisticated security measures, and a proactive approach to cybersecurity in the face of evolving threats.

    Episode Notes

    In this episode of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast, host Sean Martin converses with Christopher Salgado about the critical yet overlooked aspects of cyber investigations. Salgado's rich experiences, from being an insurance investigator in Chicago to working on Facebook's global investigations division and being a key player amidst the Cambridge Analytica crisis, lay the foundation for this engrossing dialogue.

    Salgado elaborates on the unique challenges posed by cyber investigations—being analytical, yet organic; thorough, yet flexible—straddling between rigidity of process and fluidity of response. Pragmatism and diligent investigation are pitched alongside the usefulness of AI tools, which, as per Salgado, can be both ally and adversary.

    Highlighting the importance of operating within established processes, Salgado presses on the need for standardization and streamlining, without compromising on the inherently organic nature of investigative work. He underscores how modifiable Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) can uphold consistency and enable comprehensive learning, while staying legally sound and economically feasible.

    Salgado also draws attention to the flip-side of AI-tools—potential data-leaks and the threat of manipulated AI-platforms. Corporations employing AI must weigh their usage against the risks, envisaging issues of data-privacy, information-misuse, and disinformation before rolling out (or permitting vendors to use) AI-based systems.

    In a nutshell, this enlightening conversation delves into the complexities of cyber investigations, the indispensable role of AI, and the necessity of solid processes, making it a must-listen for cybersecurity enthusiasts and cyber sleuths alike.

    Top 3 Questions Addressed:

    • What role do processes and standardization play in effective cyber investigations?
    • How do AI tools aid in cyber investigations, and what are the potential risks?
    • What potential risks does modern technology present, especially AI, in the context of cybersecurity?

    JavaScript is Often the Most Common Resource to be Compromised and Exploited | Let's See How Client-Side Security Can Help Successfully Navigate the Application Threat Landscape | An Imperva Brand Story with Lynn Marks: Sr. Product Manager

    JavaScript is Often the Most Common Resource to be Compromised and Exploited | Let's See How Client-Side Security Can Help Successfully Navigate the Application Threat Landscape | An Imperva Brand Story with Lynn Marks: Sr. Product Manager

    Understanding the complexities around client-side security is more important than ever. As businesses and individuals, we are all 'people of the web', and protecting web transactions and user-data becomes our collective responsibility. On this episode of the Brand Story Podcast, hosts Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli discuss these complexities with Lynn Marks, Senior Product Manager from Imperva.

    The conversation begins with a key question: What is client-side protection?

    Marks explains that modern engineering teams often place much of the applicational logic into the client-side, utilizing third-party JavaScript extensively. But as the prevalence of JavaScript increases, so does its vulnerability to being hijacked. A major concern is ‘form-jacking,’ where bad actors compromise JavaScript to skim sensitive information one record at a time. Due to the slow, low, and under-the-radar nature of these attacks, they often go unnoticed, emphasizing the need for proactive detection and robust prevention methods.

    Marks highlights that many organizations are currently blind to these client-side attacks and require visibility into their online activity. This is where Imperva’s Client-Side Protection product comes in. It enables organizations to start gaining visibility, insights, and the ability to either allow or block the execution of certain actions on their client-side applications. The goal is to streamline their compliance processes, manage the auditing stages effectively, and facilitate them to make data-driven, informed decisions.

    Marks also discusses the importance of adhering to PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)—specifically version 4.0. As this standard applies to all organizations processing payment information, it plays a significant role in helping organizations build programs capable of combating these attacks. Imperva’s Client-Side Protection product aligns with this framework, providing necessary visibility and insights while streamlining the auditing and compliance processes.

    For Imperva WAF customers, the Imperva client-side solution can be activated with just one click, removing any constraints and giving back control to the security teams. As organizations implement these security measures into their regular processes, they gain the ability to forecast and manage potential threats better.

    Maintaining client-side security is undoubtedly a complex task, especially with the ever-increasing and evolving use of JavaScript. However, with comprehensive visibility, robust solutions, and readily-available compliance with industry standards, organizations can efficiently manage these threats and ultimately protect the end-users. By fostering a proactive stance towards cybersecurity, we can maintain the integrity of our online experiences and embrace our roles as responsible people of the web.

    Top Questions Addressed

    • What is client-side protection?
    • How can an organization protect itself against client-side attacks?
    • What is the role of Imperva's Client Side Protection product in combating client-side security threats?

    Episode Notes

    In the episode of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast, host Sean Martin discusses the issues surrounding the SEC's precedent-setting decision to charge the CISO of SolarWinds, Tim Brown, in the aftermath of the Sunburst cyberattack. Joining Sean are Emily Coyle, the founder of Cyber Governance Alliance, Andrew Goldstein from law firm Cooley and Amit Elazari from OpenPolicy. 

    Emily elucidates on the work of the Cyber Governance Alliance, aiming to lobby for methodology change by bringing the best practices of cybersecurity into the legal framework. The Alliance is seeking to provide cyber security professionals with the protections they need to carry out their role, including limitations on liability and protection against the chilling effect of litigation. 

    Andrew speaks to the potential impacts their arguments could have on the wider cyber security field. A pressing concern he highlights is the effect of the SEC's decision on aspiring cyber security professionals and their willingness to engage in the field, potentially exacerbating an already vulnerable shortage of professionals.

    Amit points out the contradictions between best practice standards for cybersecurity, enshrined in legislation, and the SEC’s decision. She puts a call to action to the cyber community to collectively support the renewal of the amicus, around furthering discussions with policy makers to create a balanced decision.

    The group concludes that the lawsuit sets a challenging precedence for cybersecurity professionals. They argue that aligning legal and policy frameworks with cybersecurity practices should be a priority. They also encourage the community to engage the policymakers in discussion, starting with commenting on and signing the next amicus brief being drafted. Collectively they emphasize the urgency and importance of the cybersecurity community's involvement in shaping the future of cybersecurity policy and governance before it's set in stone.

    Key Questions Addressed

    • What has been the impact, thus far, of the SEC's decision to charge the CISO of SolarWinds, Tim Brown, after the Sunburst cyberattack?
    • How can conflicting policies potentially impact the sustainability of effective cybersecurity practices and what is the call to action for the cybersecurity community?
    • How is the Cyber Governance Alliance challenging the current cybersecurity legal framework and what protections are they seeking for cybersecurity professionals?

    Top Insights from the Conversation

    • The SEC's decision to charge the CISO of SolarWinds has far-reaching implications for the cybersecurity community and can deter aspiring professionals for a long time to come.
    • Through the Cyber Governance Alliance, there's an ongoing effort to integrate the best practices of cybersecurity into the legal framework and provide basic liability protections for cybersecurity professionals.
    • Despite the contradictions in cybersecurity policies, there's an urgent call for the cybersecurity community to unify and shape the future of cybersecurity policies and governance.

    Episode Notes

    In this episode of the Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast, hosted by Sean Martin, we are joined by guest Keyaan Williams to discuss the impact of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Incident Reporting Rule on organizations and its far-reaching implications. The wide-ranging discussion covers the shift in responsibility from a single Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) to the entire organization, the necessity for companies to have situational awareness to rapidly determine the materiality of cyber security incidents, and how these rules affect the company's enterprise risk management strategy.

    Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is integral to the way organizations protect themselves and manage risk. Contrary to focusing exclusively on cybersecurity and cyber-related risk, ERM takes an holistic approach and considers all risks across the company. This comprehensive approach ensures that companies make well-informed decisions about how they allocate resources, prioritize risks, and choose specific areas to mitigate. ERM also distributes the burden of risk oversight, reducing the intense pressure on CISOs or any single department and making risk management a collective responsibility. In an era of increasing regulatory oversight, such as the new rules from the SEC, ERM also aims to help companies demonstrate that they are taking all necessary precautions and addressing regulatory requirements effectively.

    Williams also emphasizes the need for businesses to prepare for the increasing regulatory scrutiny by maintaining a robust governance structure and adopting a team-based approach for managing cyber security risks. They predict the possibility of additional rule-making concerning cybersecurity in the future, thus viewing the current phase as the calm before the storm.

    Williams ends the conversation with an invitation for listeners to provide feedback, reinforcing the theme of the episode: collective engagement in cybersecurity management.

    Key Questions Addressed:

    • What is the impact of the new SEC reporting rule on CISOs and their teams?
    • How can Enterprise Risk Management contribute to overcoming cybersecurity challenges?
    • How does the SEC reporting rule change the role of a CISO within an organization?

    Episode Notes

    In this episode of Redefining CyberSecurity, host Sean Martin speaks with Ari Schwartz about the momentum to ban ransomware payments and the path to achieve it. Schwartz, a cybersecurity expert with three decades of experience, discusses his recently published blog post titled "The Path to Banning Ransomware Payments", and unpacks the ways not just businesses, but also governments can respond to this growing threat.

    Martin and Schwartz delve into significant issues, including the moral, national security, and economic imperatives for banning these payments. The duo further discuss four potential strategies to make not paying ransoms the rational thing to do: requiring victims to report ransom payments, to submit to oversight by a government regulator, to pay fines or face potential criminal charges for refusing to comply.

    Addressing the practicalities of such a ban, Schwartz believes it’s likely to happen within the next 3 to 5 years but notes the need for passing laws to successfully enforce it. He also examines the critical role of insurance in this scenario and emphasizes the importance of risk mitigation strategies and robust cybersecurity measures.

    The episode also explores potential exceptions to the ban like potential life-or-death situations or major economic harm, and the need for government intervention during ransom situations. Lastly, they discuss how targeting ransomware can help internal corporate security teams highlight the threats to their leadership and drive investment in robust cybersecurity.

    Top Questions Addressed:

    • How can we effectively move towards the banning of ransomware payments?
    • How does insurance play a role in this scenario and what should we prepare for in that regard?
    • What are potential exceptions to the ban and how could a government intervene during ransomware situations?
