In this episode of CISO Perspectives, host Kim Jones sits down with Larry Whiteside Jr., the Chief Advisory Officer for The CISO Society, to discuss this identity crisis and how the industry as a whole connects to both of these labels. Throughout the conversation, Larry and Kim will discuss the merits and drawbacks of both labels and how cybersecurity does not solely fall into one category or the other.

This week, Dave speaks with Max Gannon of Cofense Intelligence to dive into his team's research on "The Rise of Precision-Validated Credential Theft: A New Challenge for Defenders." Threat actors continuously develop new tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to bypass existing defenses. When defenders identify these methods and implement countermeasures, attackers adapt or create more sophisticated approaches. This research explores how cybercriminals are leveling up their credential phishing tactics using Precision-Validated Phishing, a technique that leverages real-time email validation to ensure only high-value targets receive the phishing attempt. The research can be found here: The Rise of Precision-Validated Credential Theft: A New Challenge for Defenders⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I'm grateful for you, it's a nice podcast. Writing such assignments is a true struggle for me. Furthermore, I believe that everyone will eventually run into difficulties finishing their homework. As a result, in this situation, having a trustworthy provider that can assist is necessary https://us.masterpapers.com/ I came into this source and continue to use it. It aids in timely and effective preparation, even for the most challenging assignments.

Re: Ransom DDoS episode... not only did that dude mispronounce technology names (indicating lack of technical knowledge), he used the phrase “or their [law enforcement counterparts] in other civilized countries”. In saying this, he effectively implies that hackers who write in broken English are savages from uncivilized countries. The implicit racial connotations in making a statement like that are seriously offensive (equating being ‘civilized’ with speaking English well). Really surprising and disappointing.
