Best quotes from our guests
"Do not trust that you control the asset for your WFH employees—build security accordingly. The laptop may sit on a highly compromised network—act accordingly." - Howard Holton, GigaOm
"The reality is, smart organizations have been looking at blast radius really tightly. We can’t protect everything equally nor should we try to. The cost would be enormous." - Howard Holton, GigaOm
"We need to stop trusting everything we see online. The number of AI-generated images getting millions of hits, and people sharing them as though they are news, is shocking." - Howard Holton, GigaOm
"We’re seeing a lot of novel and short-term cybercrime groups because the barrier to entry has been drastically reduced." - Jason Baker, GuidePoint
"The biggest thing is the distributed model making cybercrime accessible to anyone with low ethics and morals. All it takes now is an internet connection and a PC." - Jason Baker, GuidePoint
"The longer they've been strung along, the less likely they think they’re going to actually get paid. For cybercriminals, prolonged negotiation often reduces their confidence." - Jason Baker, GuidePoint
Quotes from the chat room
"Negotiate your service rate with a ransomware negotiator before you need them. The price today is vastly different from when you are in a crisis." - Duane Gran , director of information security, Converge Technology Solutions Corp.
"Trust but verify! Deepfakes require watermarks and a trusted password/answer to a question." - Aman S. , cybersecurity business engagement, vp, Elsevier
"Highlight the risk to the business! As Howard says, these threats are highly sophisticated and well-funded." - Aman S. , cybersecurity business engagement, vp, Elsevier
"Offer your work-from-home and work-from-office employees time with security and admins to get advice on how to set up and create a reasonably secure network and purchase equipment that is good for them and safe to put on their network." - James S.

3wThe largest organization in the major EU economies employed former police officers because if you don’t understand how the crime industry operates and have never experienced it, discussing it is as futile as debating the existence of pink unicorns. If you are not familiar with this field, one option is to partner with a lawyer and study significant court cases. This means visiting the courthouse, paying for copies of documents, reading them, and learning from them—repeating this process as needed. While it's not the same as direct experience, it will certainly help you stand out from those who simply rely on online searches.
