All right, what's up, everybody? Welcome to the party. Today is October 16th. It's a Friday. Oh yeah, come on now.

Thank you, Rick Flair, a little slow. Looks like Rick Flair had a late Thursday night. Guys, welcome to the party. This is Daily Cyber Threat Brief. You're looking to stay current on the top cyber news stories while engaging with like-minded professionals or walking your dog the day after, listening on Spotify. I'm looking at you, Drew. You're in the right place. So do me a favor. We've got a great show for you, one-hour chock full of information, knowledge, experience, leveling up and top cyber news. Then we're going to do a AMA with a panel like we always do on Fridays. Get your coffee, get ready. We're off and running.

All right, all right, all right. What's up, everybody? Happy to have you here. Thank you for joining us for this beautiful Friday morning. Coming to you live from the Buffer Osierflow Studio in the Lowcountry. Shout out to DJ B-Sec running the board yesterday, handling the show as I had to travel to Charlotte for a day work trip. But I'm back, baby, and I'm always excited to be here with you every single morning at 8 AM. Now, if you're new to the program, let me tell you what's going to happen. Over the next hour, we're going to rip through the top eight cyber stories of the day. Look at the headline and the surface level information that you would get literally anywhere else, which is great. But what makes Simply Cyber's Daily Cyber Threat Brief special and different, its unique proposition, if you will, is that we'll go beyond those headlines. I'll take my 20 plus years of cyber industry experience and try to data mine out additional value and insights that you're just not going to get anywhere else. On top of that, right above my head is the Simply Cyber community. If you're here right now, you're listening, you're part of that community. There's tons of expertise. One of the things that you don't learn until you're further along in your career is, you're never going to learn at all. Cyber is too big, no one's going to be an expert in anything. You might get really specialized in one or two things, but for the most part, it's going to take a village if you expect to be great. Unless you're experiencing some type of Dunning-Kruger effect, welcome to the party, pal. The entire Simply Cyber community above me is part of that patchwork that brings that expertise. So if I don't have something hot, hot, hot to share with you, I'll do the best I can, but always the Simply Cyber community is right there with the assist. Now, one thing I definitely can do is add value through CPEs. Every single episode of the Daily Cyber Threat Brief, including today's episode, October 16th, episode 1000, 267 is worth half a CPE. So grab your CPEs. What's up Arturo? Thanks for the squad membership. Grab your CPEs. You might be like, dude, a half a CPE, I've never even heard of a half a CPE. I don't get out of bed for less than one CPE. Well, my friend, we do this every single weekday morning. So that stacks up. 10 a week, 120 a year. You want to talk about CPEs. I got CPEs for days, my guy. You got CPEs coming out of the woodwork. You're going to have a kitchen junk drawer with CPEs spilling out. All right. Look on your floorboards. There's Simply Cyber, Daily Cyber Threat Brief, CPEs down there too. So get on here. Go to that cyberthreatbrief.simplycyber.io/cpe.

What's up, DreamLogic? Put in your name, your email address, these two check boxes. Again, name, email, two check boxes. It takes all of 10 seconds. You hit this yellow button and you, my friend, will be transported on a ride, ride, slippity slide. A fantastic voyage, if you will, where on the first of the month, like November 1st, I will take, I will harness the power of the interwebs. I will hop on the information super highway, and I will deliver you a crispy email with a PDF attachment capturing all the days you were here, and all the CPEs you've earned, and it looks really, really tight.

And you can use it for your CPE requirements. Now Joe Foster says, I'm a first time on time. We'll say what's up. So hey, you know, Joe Foster, whether he's a first timer or just first time on time, if you're here for the first time in any capacity, holler at us with a hashtag first timer in chat. So it could be your first time here ever, your first time live with us, your first time commenting. In case you're not picking up what I'm putting down, I'm trying to find any reason that you could say that you're a first timer in some capacity.
