🔴 Sep 21's Top Cyber News NOW! - Ep 1248

Jerry (0:23)

All right, welcome to the party.

Good morning, everybody. Hey, listen, over the next hour, me and you are going to go through the top cyber news stories of the day. We'll break them down and give you the high level overview, as well as going beyond those headlines, give you additional insight and value, which is awesome, right? Kick off this week correctly. I am Jerry, I'm your host for today's episode of Daily Cyber Threat Brief. As always, we're gonna have a good time. If you're here for the first time, in case you guys didn't know, every single episode of the Daily Cyber Threat Brief is captured here on the website, so you can watch it in if you want to. But what you may not know is, in addition to the episode, AI goes through and actually analyzes my dialogue, like the transcript of the entire show, and then actually breaks down what my takes were, what my thoughts were, what you need to know about each of these stories. It's actually quite extensive what gets done here, key takeaways. So like the Daily Cyber Threat Brief podcast and the Actionable Intel Newsletter, like each episode kind of gets its own Actionable Intel Newsletter. So unfortunately, you're not going to get that today. I guess what I could say is there is no CPE today, unless you want to go old school and take a screenshot of yourself saying, what's up in chat, that's always viable. But what I would say is every episode is worth half a CPE, so you can get 10 a month, 120 a year, which is extensively more than you need for any real cyber-securetification.

So, sorry. All right, if you are here for the first time and you managed to find us, let me tell you, welcome to the party, pal. Good to have you here. As always, we love welcoming first timers to the show. As always, I do want to say hello to Robert Hendrickson. Good to see you. James E. One, good to see you. Phil Stafford in the house. Isaiah Morris, as always. Pirate Kitty, part of the crew now. Cyber Sean 2K, very nice.

All right, guys, every episode, Daily Cyber Threat Brief is brought to you by the stream sponsors. Let's talk about anti-siphon training. Anti-siphon training is disrupting the traditional cybersecurity training industry by offering high quality cutting edge education to everyone regardless of financial position. We've been talking about this all week last week. I want to remind you, if you're a blue teamer or you work in IT ops, and you have Microsoft Azure as part of your environment, spend one hour with Gerard Johansson and see if your Azure environment is incident ready. To come to this one hour free training, you'll leave with a clear picture of what your incident response plan needs to address Azure specific threats, and where the gap in your current approach might be. I'm going to drop a link to chat right now for you to sign up. Go check it out.

All right. Woke up early to watch this today in California for a couple of weeks. Nice Robert Hendrickson. Thank you. All right. Message pinned. All right, guys. So, Gerard Johansen and the Azure crew. Going to be setting you up to see if you are incident ready for the Azure environment. Also want to say shout out to ThreatLocker. What's up, ThreatLocker? Guys, ThreatLocker, your cybersecurity solution for your endpoint cloud network. They've got it all. Again, the whole point behind them is simply, simply put, deny by default, allow by exception only, which you think would be a burden. It would be incredibly difficult to achieve that. The overhead alone would be a maintenance nightmare. However, it is hard, but they've done it over at ThreatLocker, the world's leading Zero Trust Platform. Basically, if you don't want random malware to run in your environment, ThreatLocker. If you don't want random threat actors accessing your resources, ThreatLocker. If you don't want cloud apps being used, your cloud apps being used by anyone, anywhere, ThreatLocker. Privileged access management, Zero Trust, network architecture.

It's amazing what they pull off over there at ThreatLocker. Go to threatlocker.com now to get a demo. Check it out for yourself. There's a link in the description below for all the stream sponsors, including Flair. We'll talk about Flair in a little bit. Big old fan of Flair. They got some training coming up that you need to know about, but I'll tell you about that at the mid-roll. You know what else I'll tell you about at the mid-roll? Simply Cyber Community Member of the Week. Oh yeah, also sponsored by ThreatLocker. So what does a sponsored segment mean? It means that I get to give a $100 gift card to the Simply Cyber Community Member of the Week, which by the way, I'm happy to say this individual is in chat right now. I have seen them in chat. So stay tuned with us. About 20 minutes, I will reveal who you're Simply Cyber Community Member of the Week is.
