**Dr. Gerald Auger** (0:01)
What's up, everybody? Welcome to Simply Cyber's Daily Cyber Threat Brief. I'm your host, Dr. Gerald Auger, coming to you from the very wet Buffer Auger Flow Studio here in the Lowcountry. Welcome to the program. If you're looking to stay current on the top cyber news stories of the day while doing it, among friends who are all about support, inclusion and empowerment, and just kicking butt in the world of cyber, then you're in the right place. So grab your coffee, get comfortable. We got a great show for you. We're off and running.
Yes, it's Friday, we made it, everybody. Another week in the books. Welcome to Simply Cyber. I am so happy to greet you and welcome you this morning. What's up, Steve Young at Tech? We got the left coast, Phil Stafford. Mr. Buddha is in the hissy. Carrie's here, as always. Marcus hitting that elliptical. Sunny Allen, I saw you in chat, and Nintendude in the great state of Georgia. We're inching closer to becoming neighbors with you, my man. Guys, over the next hour, we are going to go through the top eight cyber stories in the news. And of course, we'll do the headline and give you the surface-level insights that you need to know, just as a general practitioner in the cyber security industry. But we are also going to take my 20-plus years of knowledge and experience and my education and all of the Simply Cyber communities' collective knowledge. And we are going to delve deep into each of these stories to find additional insights, additional value, things that you will not learn in a classroom or a textbook, things that are just gotten from sitting in the seat and then deliver them to you. Because the goal here is support, inclusion and empowerment. And part of that triad of value is to make it so you can shortcut some of the lessons learned and just, you know, basically stand on the shoulders of giants. So that's what we're doing here. We do it every day. Today is episode 1157
Remember Passenger 57, Wesley Snipes, that movie? That was a good one. Like, by the way, if you're looking for a great turn your brain off action movie this weekend, Passenger 57, not a bad option. So there are eight stories. I will tell you, I don't research or prep for any of them.
Because I know I got time for that. I'm not going to set up and research and prep and then come in here like, oh, what do I know? No, it's all rough, rugged, raw, off the cuff, and keeping the energy real. I am super pumped to be doing it.
We'll see where we go, everybody. Now, every single day of the Simply Cyber Daily Cyber Threat Brief has a special segment. And Fridays is reserved and has been for years for this dude. James McQuiggin at 35,000 feet. If he's not laying his head down in his bed in his house, he is sitting in seat 3B slightly reclined, waiting for the flight attendant to come bring him his bagel. Okay, that's why he's at 35,000 feet, but he also has dad jokes for days. He is going to delight us with some original dad jokes at the mid roll. So 30 minutes from now, get ready for some rib tickling or some groaning. It's your choice how you react. But the jokes come through. I haven't read or reviewed them yet. I will see them in real time with you and read them. It's just a fun little way to break the show up. Now it is, I don't want to say a serious show, but we are talking about serious topics. This is work related. So therefore every single episode of the Daily Cyber Threat Brief is worth half a CPE. So if you have a cybersecurity certification, I continue to get comments about this. So let me be crystal clear. What I'm about to tell you is how the CPEs work, how the Continuing Professional Education credits work. If you have questions about the CPEs, I'm about to give you all the answers.
Every episode is worth half a CPE. The current model is to go to Cyber Threat Brief, simplycyber.io/cpe.
I just dropped the link in chat. You can look in the show description for this episode and find the link that I'm talking about right now. It will take you to this page. When you get to this page, you will see that it has today's date.
June 19th is today's date. You'll put in your name, for example, Gerald Auger, then your email address, Geraldauger at yahoo.com or whatever. Then you check the two checkboxes. It's Submit Add Task Station. It is logged in a database that I built, and control is on the back end. That's all you have to do for attendance here today.
