I'm your host, Daniel Lauer, we are on number 1159 today. We're going to get knee deep into some cybersecurity headlines this morning. So without further ado, let's jump in and get to it, shall we?
Well, good morning, everyone. Thanks for joining me this morning. This is, like I said, the Daily Cyber Threat Brief. And as you can tell, I am not Jerry Auger. Jerry's off somewhere doing things. I think he's camping in the deep dark woods of Appalachia.
He's probably gonna come back with Lyme's disease and an aversion to red meat, but what are you gonna do? He's having fun. He's gonna go take his time with his family, I guess.
No, we kid the Jerry, right? It's good for him. Go be with the family, have some downtime. That man, he's like the James Brown of cyber, right? He's the hardest working man in cyber security. He definitely does a lot. This show, if you don't know this, by the way, to run this show, I can only imagine what he's got going on in his end of things. There's just so many little tidbits for you to tap dance on. It could get a little overwhelming. You're like, where the hell is that? Okay, this is next and that's next. But it does make for a great show and that's why we watch, right? That's why we are part of Team SC. If you are a first-timer out there, do us the immense favor and drop hashtag first-timer into the chat so that people can give you the warm, hearty welcome that you should and deserve, that you should get. So we're going to have some fun today. I'm going to get into those cyber security topics, just making sure that I've got all the things going on, that we're at today. I got a whole list of stuff because there's things we got to make sure we hit. There's one, CPEs. By the way, if you were unaware, this show affords you a half a CPE. If you watch this thing, you can literally gather yourself a CPE. Let me show you what I'm talking about here, because Jerry got a whole website developed for this here. Let me do this because that looks a little bit better. Here we go. If you go to cyberthreatbrief.simplycyber.io, cyberthreatbrief.simplycyber.io, it's right there in the top of my screen. You'll see also right there in the banner, a little CPE. Click that. That takes you here and it tells you all the information you need to know on how to claim your 0.5 CPE for watching. So if you watch the show every day and you keep claiming these CPEs, if you need CPEs for things like certifications and to maintain certain skill sets, well, then there you go. This is how you gather those up and get them over to whoever needs them, right? I'm thinking like ISC Square, I think they require them. I have a beard here in my tongue. It's bothering me, stop. There it goes.
I love that. That's the one bad thing about having a beard is every now and then you go, what is that? That's going on here. I don't like it, makes me feel funny. All right, before we get too deep in the weeds, I'm gonna go ahead and let Jerry do the sponsors because I forgot to do that yesterday, at least at this time. We didn't forget overall, but I don't want to forget that today. So let's let Jerry do the thing he does, keep the lights on, pay the bills, and we shall return.

All right, thank you, Daniel. Quick note from the stream sponsors, those who make it possible for us to bring this program to you every single day. Quick shout out and love starting with my friends over at Flare. Flare Threat Intelligence Platform, they are the identity-focused threat intelligence platform that shows if your company's data including credentials, access, sensitive files, are being leaked or sold on the dark web, telegram or hacker forums, and most importantly helps you act fast to reduce that risk. Flare basically goes into the cyber criminal underbelly and pulls all that information. So if you have creds, if you have secrets, if you have tokens, if you have compromised endpoints and you don't know about those leaks or compromises, Flare could be finding those in those dark web forms before they've been utilized by a threat actor in the execution of an incident or a crime, and you get the heads up to be able to take intervention action and revoke those creds, and clean those endpoints and stuff like that. The best part is you don't have to get dirty or filthy with any of that stuff. Flare goes does all that for you, brings it back to their platform and makes it very easy for you to search for your VIPs, your domain names, your IP addresses, and all the things that are relevant for you very, very quickly. I've used it myself. I find their platform phenomenal. You can see for yourself now for two weeks, free trial, go to simplycyber.io/flare.
