Sony's failed attempt to stop piracy.

This week, Dave and Ben sit down to discuss how Sony's failed lawsuit could have major impacts on other copyright lawsuits alongside how the EU's AI approach might be grounded in nuclear deterrence strategies. Additionally, our team sits down with Dr. Liz James, a managing security consultant at the NCC Group to discuss the EU's new cybersecurity regulations that were instituted as a part of new vehicle emission regulations.

The Human Side of Threat Intelligence

Ingrid Parker, Director of Intel Response at Unit 42, has a background that doesn't fit the mold: art student, Army linguist, systems administrator deployed to Afghanistan, co-author of 11 Strategies of a World-Class Cybersecurity Operations Center. In this conversation, she and host David Moulton dig into what it actually feels like to do threat intelligence at the highest levels — how you build the kind of thinking that lets you get inside an adversary's head, what you look for when you're hiring for that skill, and what the job quietly costs the people who do it well.

Joe once again shares tales from his "stupid" chickens. Dave has the story on how sugar baby scams are evolving into broader cyber threats involving fake identities, financial fraud, and account compromise. Maria's got the story on a Michigan business owner whose hacked Facebook account was drained, banned, and effectively locked away by automated moderation systems. Joe has the story on a Virginia family who narrowly avoided a Facebook Marketplace rental scam after a fake landlord asked them to wire money for a home they didn’t own. Our catch of the day comes from Reddit, where a scammer was this close too fooling, not really.

Cyber Creator Tyler Ramsbey Shares How to Grow an Audience & Community in Cyber

This episode is a little different. We're sharing a session from Behind the Cyber Creator, a live AMA series we run at the Cybersecurity Marketing Society, and Tyler Ramsbey was our first guest. Tyler went from pastor to pentester, built a study group into a community of 15,000 people, and walked away from a six-figure job to run his own businesses. He's been doing it all in the open, which makes the conversation worth having. We talk about building an audience without a big budget or a polished setup, why he says no to most brand deals, what it's like to be the bottleneck in your own business, and how he thinks about family alongside all of it. There's also a good thread on AI and pentesting that doesn't require a technical background to follow.
