Episode notes

"Phishing for Trouble," is the cybersecurity podcast that demystifies compliance and information security in your business.

How do laws protect businesses from data breaches, software failures, and IT mishaps—and when do they leave you liable? In this first episode, Dave and Becca tackle the fundamentals of compliance and information security. They explore how businesses like yours can safeguard sensitive data and avoid common pitfalls that lead to negligence.

The episode features a deep dive into the CrowdStrike incident, in which a software update caused a ‘boot loop’ malfunction for a small percentage of customers—but that small percentage included critical industries like airlines and financial services. Dave and Becca unpack the ripple effect of one technical error and what could have been done to prevent such a major IT outage. What can we all learn to help improve information security and compliance in business?

Joining the conversation is technology and compliance lawyer Jonathan Armstrong, who sheds light on the latest changes in data protection laws and how legislation is adapting to today’s evolving tech landscape. His insights help businesses navigate the fine line between legal protection and liability in an increasingly digital world.
