In the latest episode of the Risk Roundtable, Andy and Dave welcome in Tracy Maleeff as they went through the latest security news. Tracy kicked things off by looking at a new scam reported on by the Better Business Bureau involving craft fairs (is there no place that’s safe). Then the roundtable took turns looking at the recently released National Cybersecurity Strategy and what it means for individuals and organizations, especially around training and information sharing. Andy used the release to also discuss corresponding actions that the EPA is taking to improve the resiliency of the water system. Tracy then transitioned back to other types of scams and how Artificial Intelligence is even getting into the scam business targeting individuals pretending to be loved ones and how safe words could be an effective mitigating factor. Dave wrapped things up with a quick hit on venue security to which the group discussed how this is not strictly a physical security problem, but in fact a blended threat. Andy put the finishing touches on the pod with his three questions (no comment on the new CISA website redesign).
