Episode notes

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

 

How was one of the world’s biggest media companies brought to its knees by a cyber hack? This time we hear how hackers gained access to Sony Pictures in 2014 by manipulating the sociology and psychology of staff.

 

The truth is, a company can invest millions in cybersecurity technology, but social engineering tactics can allow hackers to gain access to an organisation’s IT through the individuals that work there.

 

Plus, it’s not just big organisations that can be exposed to ransomware and other attacks. Whatever size your business is and whatever sector, you could be vulnerable.

 

So how can a company overcome the enormous threat social engineering poses to its data and information security? Becca and Dave bring you expert insights and advice into what you should be doing in your business today, supported by ISO 27001 frameworks.

 

Geoff White is an author and investigative journalist with a special interest in organised crime and technology. He says that tech companies need to think about ALL the ways their products can be used, be that for good or harm.

 

Javvad Malik returns with advice for anyone faced with phishing and vishing communications, and Dr Jessica Barker discusses how hacking groups can target individuals to have a devastating impact on their lives.

 

Professor Keith Martin from Royal Holloway University is leading research into information security that could inform the tools and practises of business in the future. But one thing all our guests agree on is the power of people and culture to protect a business. They discuss how to engage staff in information security on a day-to-day basis.
