**Dr. Gerald Auger** (0:01)
All right, what's up, everybody? Welcome to the party. It's June 15th, Monday. This is Simply Cyber's Daily Cyber Threat Brief podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Gerald Auger, coming to you live from the Buffer Auger Flow Studio here in the beautiful Lowcountry. If you're looking to level up, kick butt, and socialize with like-minded cyber professionals who are absolutely the best, well, then you're in the right place. So grab your coffee, get comfortable. We got a great show for you. Let's get cooking.
That's right, good morning, everybody. Hope everybody had a lovely weekend. I did, kind of unplugged a little bit after all the travel with Georgia. And we got big travel coming up this weekend as well. So just trying to lock it down and give ourselves a little bit of peace before hitting it hard again.
Guys, we are gonna go through the top eight stories in Cyber over the next hour. And what we're gonna do is, of course, go through the headline in the top, the surface level information that you need to stay current on industry. But the value proposition of this show is that I take my 20 plus years of experience alongside my passion for cyber security and dig deeper into the stories to give you insights and applicable learning and wisdom that you can use to level up yourself as a cyber professional, be able to drive risk down for your business stakeholders. Ultimately, my goal is to empower you to be the best and most flexible cyber security professional in the market. I don't mean flexible like you're like some AI video, where you're able to do gymnastics or something. I mean flexible like, I don't like working here because my boss is toxic. I'm just going to go over here because I'm the CEO of me. That's the level of flexibility I'm looking to give you here. Support, inclusion, empowerment, that's the core values at Simply Cyber. Now, as if it wasn't already a banger of a show, we go one step further. I'm going to be providing you half a CPE per episode. That's right. Every single episode of the Daily Cyber Threat Brief can be qualified as a instructor-led webinar. We have some fun here. We've got the cool music and the retro synthwave backgrounds and vibes. But at the end of the day, if you strip it all down, I'm qualified as an instructor in cybersecurity. This show does go through that stuff. So half a CPE, very simple. Go to cyberthreatbrief.simplycyber.io/cpe.
I'll drop it in chat for those who are live. For those watching on replay, Kimberly is putting it in the description. So you can just go down in the description of the YouTube video and click on the link there. You'll be brought to a web form page. If you're watching live with us right now, you can see it. You scroll down, you'll notice it has today's date. Today's episode, and it asks you to put your name. So Marcus Kyler, Gerald Auger, Kyle Kyle, right? Whatever it is, whatever your first and last name is, every one of us, unless you're like Zendaya or Cher or Madonna. If we have Zendaya, Cher and Madonna here, like I'll manually write your CPE cert, but for the rest of us, mere mortals, full name, email address so I can send it to you. Click these two checkboxes and hit submit in once a month. At the end of the month, every month, I'll send you a really snazzy email with a downloadable certificate showing all the days you attended, how many CPEs you got, etc. Very good stuff. Love it. Get your CPEs here as always. Now, we do have a lot of fun here. We have a lot of people who come on back, come on back. But every one of us, even myself, was a first timer at some point. It could be a little intimidating walking into a new group, especially one as well established and as awesome as the Simply Cyber community is. So if you're here for the first time, you have to take a little bit of initiative, not much, just a little bit. Drop a hashtag first timer in chat. Hashtag first timer in chat. You will be introduced to Simply Cyber community members because we are going to welcome you with sound effects, emotes and just a general get in here, my friend. So don't be shy. Drop a hashtag first timer if today's your first episode.
It's been a minute since we had some first timers in chat. I don't know what's going on, but hopefully we can get some and do what we do. All right, guys, half an hour.
