**Jerry Auger** (0:01)
Yes, sir, we're out the gate and running. What's morning? What's morning? What's going on? Good morning, how you doing? This is Jerry from Simply Cyber. Welcome to the Daily Cyber Threat Brief. We're straight kicking it like a bunch of bosses up in this mother trucker. And you're joining us for the top cyber news stories of the day, so get your coffee, get comfortable, and let's get ready to cook.
All right, everybody, good morning. Hope you're well. Had my first sip of coffee while that little intro video was playing to kind of boot the system up. We're still in the BIOS with the Windows splash screen right now, but I guarantee you by the end of the stream, I will be fully loaded and all the services up and running. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Simply Cyber's Daily Cyber Threat Brief. If you didn't know, over the next hour, we're gonna go through the top eight cyber stories of the day. We'll go, you know, obviously at the surface level what's the headline, what's the key things you need to know. And then I'm gonna take my 20 years of experience, go way down into the weeds on it with you, and distill out some valuable insights, some additional nugget of knowledge or two that you can use at your work to help drive cyber risk down, as well as, and more importantly to me, frankly, although driving cyber risk for your business stakeholders is important, don't misunderstand. But what I want to do is empower you to be the CEO of you, give yourself the flexibility to be able to pivot within positions, find out about opportunities, ultimately be the decision maker. Because if you're in a toxic situation, if you have to move, if you get ripped or laid off, none of those things are your fault, and it's absolutely hot garbage that you're not enabled or in a power to do something about it. So that's what we're trying to fix here. Now for the eight stories, I will let you know I've researched and prep for Zero.
Ain't nobody got time for that. But that's what we do in reality. Every single day, people are like, Oh my God, Jerry, 1,200 episodes or whatever it is. How do you stay consistent? I say, my guy, this is the job.
I turn a light on and scream into a mic, but for the last 15, 20 years, I get up, and the first thing I do is have coffee and read the cyber news. You need to do it. If you want to be a highly effective, highly confident, impactful cyber professional, I'm telling you, staying current on the top current news, trends, you know, what are threat actors up to, what tools are out there, what's available, regulations are coming down. Trust me, you want to be the person bringing that information to the meeting, not the one being like, really? Really? What? Huh? Say more. You don't want to be that person at the meeting. You want to be the one who's like, and did you know? Now, every episode of the Daily Cyber Threat Brief, what's up, Marcus Kyler of the Eat Crew?
Every single episode of the Daily Cyber Threat Brief is worth half a CPE. So if you have a cybersecurity certification requiring continuous education, it's simple. This is an instructor-led webinar. I have cool graphics and I'm a little wild on the sides, little rough around the edges, but I am qualified as an instructor. I got a PhD in cyber operations. I got a bunch of other degrees. I've worked in the industry for a wicked long time. I ooze cyber passion. I'm telling you, no one's going to question my ability to deliver this briefing. Now, that makes it a one-hour briefing. Jerry, I want a full CPE. No, because we have fun. We do silly things also. Like at the mid-roll, we're going to be talking about Dan Reardon and his meme of the week. That's a must-see. You'll catch that. You'll laugh. Everybody, I'll have a good time. You can't get CPEs for that. So, my goal here is to not mince words with the certification bodies on. Well, actually, we'll just say half a CPE. Dude, do it every day of the show and you get 120 a year. If you go to cyberthreatbrief.simplycyber.io/cpe, you can do exclamation point CPE in chat and nap night bot will tell you. You can also look in the description of the show notes and you'll see a link there. And I'll show you on screen right now. It's a very simple form field. It will have today's date. Today is June 18th. It'll have your name, your email address. Spoiler alert, you know your name. Believe me, if you don't know your name, I don't know how you got a cybersecurity certification in the first place. Love you mean it, but let's work on the fundamentals. Get your name, get your email address. Click on two checkboxes, verify that you're human, not a robot, and submit the attestation once a month. So July 1st, coming up, you'll get an email from me. Do not send it to spam. Do not mark it as junk. Because inside of it, it's going to have a link for a PDF, all for you with all the days you showed up, how many CPEs you earned, and my sign off on it. So it is a very simple attestation or certificate of attendance for you and this brief. It's a gift. You don't have to sign up. You don't have to pay anything. You don't have to do anything behind a paywall. None of that crap. You just show up, get some CPEs. Up, up, up.
