The 4th episode of the Gate 15 Podcast is now available! There is a lot of information “out there” related to the COVID-19 pandemic – some of which is true and useful… Aside from initial reactions, the team looks ahead to what’s next as this pandemic continues and how do we start preparing to handle other incidents – from spring flooding and an upcoming hurricane season to potential hostile events – in a COVID world.
With multiple COVID-19 updates per day from myriad sources, scammers are predictably using every conceivable (and even inconceivable) lure to hide their cyber attacks in plain sight.
As coronavirus has shown, the impacts of a pandemic can wreak havoc worldwide, quickly and severely. At some point, things will start to get back to “normal,” and there will be a big push to catch up and make up for lost time. While it would be easy for many to get through this pandemic and reassure ourselves, “this happens every hundred years,” and to then try to resume “normal” routines and operations, focusing on the next requirement and not the past – that would be a huge mistake, and an even more huge missed opportunity.
So much can change in a month. Last month we touched on COVID-19, and in this episode we dig more into questions about preparedness and the resulting cyber scams associated with it. Then we transition to other cyber issues, specifically Business Email Compromise and phishing.

As 2019 turns into 2020, technologies and threats that impact daily operations and data security persist in blended and complex ways. The convergence of both physical and cyber domains increase the productivity and value of businesses and critical infrastructure at large, but introduce new and evolving risks that can harm assets and individuals when the line between IT and physical risks are no longer crystal clear.
As enterprises and security minded organizations keep contending with the physical and cyber components of security, the merging of both physical and cyber realms necessitates a similar security approach to strengthen and maintain the foundations of our critical infrastructure.
