Unraveling the (Con)fusion between Tech & Risk Management

About us

In today's digital landscape, the convergence of Technology, Information Security, and Risk Management is not just beneficial, but essential. Technology drives innovation and progress, but with this advancement comes increased vulnerabilities and potential threats. Information Security acts as the guardian, protecting data integrity and safeguarding against cyber threats. Meanwhile, Risk Management provides a strategic framework to anticipate, evaluate, and mitigate these risks, ensuring that technological growth is both sustainable and secure. Together, these disciplines form a robust shield, fortifying our digital world against the ever-evolving landscape of threats. By understanding and integrating these three pillars, organizations can achieve a harmonious balance between growth, security, and resilience. We invite our listeners to join this crucial conversation: subscribe to "ByteWise" share your thoughts, and be a part of shaping a safer, more innovative future in technology.

    This *very* clever hack shows how cyber is a dynamic risk that requires us to constantly adapt. Here's what's happening: Cyber-attackers found a genius 👩🏼🎓 way to bypass our malware defenses: ↳ Send broken files that look harmless ↳ Let users "fix" them ↳ Watch the malware come alive Why this matters: 1. It beats every defense ↳ Email filters can't catch it ↳ Antivirus software fails ↳ Security tools are blind 2. It exploits human nature ↳ People want to help ↳ "Fixing" feels right 🔧 ↳ Trust becomes a weapon 3. It's spreading fast ↳ Active since August 2024 ↳ Zero detection rate ↳ Targeting major companies Here's how it works: Step 1: You get an email ↳ "Your bonus is ready" ↳ File looks damaged ↳ Security lets it through Step 2: You try to help ↳ Word asks to "repair" it ↳ You click "yes" ↳ Malware activates Step 3: Game over ↳ Your data is exposed ↳ Network gets compromised ↳ Hackers win How to stay safe: 1. Never fix broken files by yourself 2. Double-check senders 3. Remember you're a foot soldier in the cyber wars ♻️ Repost this if you want to keep others safe. PS: Share this with your IT team. They need to know about this one.

    • A dark cybersecurity-themed image featuring a corrupted Microsoft Word document icon. The document appears broken and glows ominously in red and blue hues, symbolizing its malicious nature. In the background, faint streams of binary code are visible, adding a sense of hidden digital activity. A glowing red QR code on the side emits a dangerous aura, representing its role in leading to a phishing attack. The overall tone of the image is intense and foreboding, with sharp contrasts between the dark background and the glowing elements to emphasize the danger.

    Cybersecurity Analyst at Cyber Skyline

    I wanted to share a few observations from my experience posting job openings at my company and serving on hiring committees. I know the job market is tough right now, so I hope these thoughts can help. When I shared the job postings, I invited people to DM me with questions. So far, I’ve received almost 100 emails. Many of them are clearly AI-generated, with placeholders like [your name] or [reply] still in the text. I use AI daily(I used it to proofread this post), but if you’re going to use it for job hunting, please take the time to edit the output. Submitting unedited responses doesn’t leave a good impression. Also, to the guy who saw my comment about my inbox and decided to reach out to my personal email address: no. I’ve also noticed that many of the messages are overly long, full of unnecessary personal details, or contain too many questions. If you want to respect someone’s time, keep it brief. Limit your questions to one or two. And whatever tool you’re using to insert cute little anecdotes about my accomplishments or history—it’s weird. It feels insincere and, as someone who specializes in social engineering, I find it a bit insulting. Instead, ask a quick, specific question. Please don’t ask me to "tell you more about the role," and definitely read the job description before reaching out. Most of the resumes I received were not relevant to the position. I understand that “cyber analyst” often has a specific meaning, but in this case, it doesn’t. The job posting is clear that the role is US-based only and requires the ability to obtain Public Trust clearance. Unfortunately, many applicants aren’t reading the job description, and it comes across as very low effort when their resumes don’t align with the role at all. Like I get shooting your shot, but it has to make at least some sense. Now that I’ve highlighted some issues, here’s my advice: • Read the job description. • Tailor your resume to the role. If you want the job, use the job description to create a customized resume for each application. • If you’re using AI tools, proofread and edit the output. • Pay attention to eligibility requirements. If a job is US-only and requires clearance, there aren’t exceptions. It is what it is. • Be mindful when reaching out. If you’re one of 100 people reaching out, don’t send a novel—I won’t have time to read it. If your questions require more than a few minutes to answer, I won’t. Open-ended questions suggest you haven’t done basic due diligence. If you’ve seen my talks, you know I’m passionate about helping people land jobs. Many of the hurdles I’ve mentioned can be overcome with the right tactics. I recommend checking out Jason Blanchard’s videos on Job Hunting Like a Hacker and his guides on optimizing your LinkedIn profile. I know all of this takes significant effort, and I recognize how exhausting the process already is. But investing time into these steps can make a big difference. Good luck fam.
