All right, let's rip the top off this, baby. Good morning, everybody, Friday. This is Daily Cyber Threat Brief Podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Gerald Auger. If you're looking to stay current on the top cyber news stories while high-fiving like-minded professionals in the most epic way possible, you're in the right place, so get your coffee. We got an hour of entertainment to shove down your throat. Let's cook, baby.

All right. What's up, everybody? Off and running on this beautiful Friday morning. We made it to the end of the week. Everybody's working for the weekend like Loverboy. Oh, yeah.

Come on. All right, Kool-Aid, man. Thank you very much, guys. Hey, listen. This is Daily Cyber Threat Brief. Over the next hour, we're gonna go through the eight top cyber stories that you need to know about right now. We'll do the top headline and the surface level stuff that you need to know, like you'll get with everything else and be able to consult with colleagues alike about these news stories. But then the value prop of this show is we go beyond those headlines, give you additional insights, additional value that you will not get anywhere else. No classroom, new textbook, straight from the mouth of those who have sat in the chair and have the scars to prove it. My name is Gerald Auger. I've got 20 plus years of experience in the industry, but I'm also joined by so many amazing cybersecurity professionals in the chat alongside me. And we are all leveling each other up because the like, spoiler alert, let me let you in on a little secret.

You will never know everything in cybersecurity. You will never be a master of particular anything. There's always more to learn. There's always more to supplement. And when you have a community full of expert professionals, then we can all help each other out. And that's what we're doing here every single day at Daily Cyber Threat Brief. Now, I want to let you know that we got mad value for you, but all the stories that we're about to cover, I don't know what they are. I literally do not even know the headlines, except for maybe an Open AI Hacking Australia or something like that. So we'll get into that. But I just want you to know, every story you're going to get is my honest, in the moment reaction and analysis to that story.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

That's right. Ain't nobody got time for that. Our industry moves pretty quick. And like Ferris Bueller said, if you don't take a minute to look around and sniff the flowers, life will pass you by. Shout out to Ferris Bueller, save Ferris. Guys, hey, every single episode of the Daily Cyber Threat Brief, including this one, is worth half a CPE. CPEs are one hour, one CPE. We say half a CPE because half the show is all about good times, high fives, and community. The other half is about instructor-led webinar. Instructor-led webinar. I'm the instructor. I'm qualified. I would argue with anyone who wants to push back on that. I'm qualified to run a Threat Brief. And for those reasons, we say half a CPE, which may not seem like a lot, but my guy, you get 10 a week or 10 a month, 120 a year.
