🔴 Oct 6's Top Cyber News NOW! - Ep 1259

Dr. Gerald Auger (0:00)

All right, what's up, everybody? Welcome to the party. Today is October 6th. It's a Tuesday, Wild West Hack and Fest Week. Welcome to Simply Cyber's Daily Cyber Threat Brief podcast coming to you live from the Buffer Auger Flow Studio here in the Lowcountry. If you're looking to stay current on the top cyber news stories of the day, while being entertained, educated, and in an inclusive, supportive community, well, look no further. I'm your host, Dr. Gerald Auger, and we are absolutely lit the candle in this Mother Trucker. Get your coffee, let's go.

All right, all right, all right. I hope everyone had a wonderful Monday. We are just cruising. Wheels are turning the flywheels up on this week. We got a great show for you. Listen, if you're new here, every single day at 8 a.m. Eastern, just like two minutes ago, we kick off and we rip through the top eight cyber stories of the day. We give you the headline and the surface level news so you're prepared to do what you need to do as a cyber practitioner. But then we double click down on the value train and go deeper into the headlines, I try my best to extract some type of additional insight, additional value, ultimately giving you cheat codes for a cyber career. Or if you're already in a cyber career, it doesn't mean just getting into a career. There's cheat codes at the mid-tier level, there's cheat codes for CSOs. Don't think it's just about all hard work. Sometimes having the answers to the test can help you accelerate your career. And why not? Dude, it's all about reducing risk for your business stakeholders, not about working as hard as you possibly can to achieve the same results. Now, if you're here for the first time and you're liking the energy, do me a favor, drop a hashtag first timer in chat. Hashtag first timer in chat. We love welcoming our first timers. We got Bite the Hand in the chat. Good to see you, Bite the Hand. Ember Elks. Kimberly Can Fix It has entered the chat. What up, Kimberly? Good to see you. Owen B. Wen. Igma, of course, as always. So drop a hashtag first timer. We have a special sound effect, a special emote for all of the first timers in chat. We want you to feel included as part of this community. If you're a regular, I don't ask often, but let's go ahead and drop a hashtag team SC in the chat, if you will, team SC. Boom, Chocolocka, boom, Chocolocka.

Guys, every single day of the week has a special segment. And what is it? Today's Tuesday, boom, baby, boom. Tidbits Tuesday, share a little bit about myself, see if it's something we can vibe on or something we can be divisive on, but in a very polite, supportive way.

We'll see how it goes.

New Kuru says, first time I've been watching on the VODs. New Kuru, welcome to the party, pal.

Hell yeah.

If you're going to be at Wild West Hack and Fest, sound off in chat. I will be there. Of course, I've announced this in the past, but to remind everybody who's here, maybe you missed it. We will be doing the show, Daily Cyber Threat Brief live from the floor at Wild West Hack and Fest. Come downstairs to Dale's Sportsbook. It is 6 AM, so it is a bit of an ask here for you. But we'll be there at 6 AM. We'll have folks from the community on the panel with me. A special edition of Daily Cyber Threat Brief. We did it last year. It was a success. Quick shout out to Dale's Sportsbook and the Denver Grand Fountain New Lounge or whatever. I cannot say whatever the name of that hotel is correctly, but their infrastructure support is just absolutely Chef's Kiss. Pure cinema! All right, guys, so what else we got? Oh, did you know? Oh, hello. Many of you know, because the email just went out.

Every single episode of the Daily Cyber Threat Brief is worth. Michael Vito, what up? Every single day of the, every episode is half a CPE, right? So what does that mean for you in practice? It means if you show up on the regular, you can earn 10 CPEs a month, 120 a year, which let me just check with the judges. Judges, yep, I'm getting nods. Way more than you need for a year.
