Episode notes

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

 

We know any cyber hack is bad for business. But what about the customers and networks that rely upon the services it provides?

 

Dave and Becca delve into the Colonial Pipeline attack of 2021. Thousands of miles of US fuel supply came to a halt for days after the company was hit with a ransomware attack. There were massive economic impacts from this cybersecurity incident. Under immense pressure, bosses made the decision to pay up on the $4.4million bitcoin ransom. They later had to explain this decision in court.

 

So what went wrong in CP’s information security and compliance procedures? If a company that invests millions annually in cybersecurity AND provides such a fundamental national resource got caught out, is there hope for the rest of us? How did hackers get into the network and what can we all learn and action in our own businesses?

 

Rob Lee from SANS institute reflects upon learnings from his career in protecting national cybersecurity in this podcast. He’s passionate about educating and empowering organisations to take action and protect themselves there.

 

Rob explains how he move from the Air Force Academy to National Cybersecurity and today still advises the US government on the tech side of cyber intrusions and capabilities.
