In this episode of the mnemonic security podcast, Robby is joined by Matt Cooke from Proofpoint.
They discuss the evolving landscape of email security, emphasising the need for a multi-layered approach beyond traditional prevention methods, as well as the importance of pre-delivery, post-delivery, and click-time protection to combat phishing and business email compromise (BEC) attacks.
Matt notes that 76% of data breaches involve human error, and stresses the significance of threat intelligence and machine learning in detecting and mitigating threats. The conversation also touches on the role of AI in enhancing email security, the importance of DMARC for email authentication, and the concept of "very attacked people" (VAPs) to prioritise security efforts.

In this special, celebratory 100th episode of the mnemonic security podcast, Robby speaks with author and industry legend - Jon DiMaggio.
Jon is the Chief Security Strategist at Analyst1 and has over 15 years of experience hunting, researching, and writing about advanced cyber threats. As a specialist in enterprise ransomware attacks and nation-state intrusions, Jon authored several investigative reports, including Robby ́s favourite, “The Ransomware Diaries”, and also wrote the award-winning book “The Art of Cyberwarfare.”
Jon has gone as far as to go develop relationships with some of the world’s most notorious ransomware gangs, for example LockBit, and exposed the interworkings of cartels behind major ransomware attacks. Their conversation explores the operational models of ransomware groups, which often function through a web of partnerships, specialised roles, and profit-sharing structures. DiMaggio provides his unique perspective on building relationships with cybercriminals to gather intelligence while navigating the ethical dilemmas and personal risks.
Most importantly, he answers Robby ́s burning question: “What’s your opinion of the bad guys?”

In this episode, Robby speaks with Jens Christian Vedersø, Head of Cyber Risk Management at Vestas, one of the world’s largest wind turbine manufacturers.
Jens is a former Navy and intelligence officer and recovering regulator. Before managing cyber risk in the renewable energy sector, Jens helped develop energy sector legislation and cyber preparedness at the Danish Energy Agency, and served as a subject matter expert for SCADA, OT, ICS and IoT at the Danish Center for Cyber Security.
In the discussion Jens shares his unique perspective on how security acts as both an enabler and a potential barrier in the transition towards renewable energy transition, and how the industry needs to move from a reactive, compliance-driven approach towards a more proactive, risk-based model. Jens also shares insights into the threat landscape, potential motivations of state actors, and how Vestas is working to quantify cyber risk and empower customers to better understand and control their own cyber risks.
