This episode is for anyone working within cybersecurity that has ever had to explain what they actually do, or defend why they are investing in security.
We’re happy to welcome Jeff Barto back to the podcast, to go through his presentation “We are Defending” that he presented at mnemonic’s C2 summit this summer. Jeff is the CISO of a large hedge found in the US, and has worked in security for over 20 years. He will share some of the key lessons from his presentation that aims to explain what it is we, the defenders out there, actually do.
During his presentation, Jeff goes through the importance of continuous improvement in security, testing, and how to identify what your major gaps are and what you need to take care of in 2023.
To follow Jeff’s PowerPoint presentation, Feel free to check out the video version of the podcast on ISACA Norway's channel - https://www.youtube.com/@isacanorwaychapter

Bots; they can be both helpful assistants and harmful pests, and you’ll find them all over the internet targeting most public facing applications in some way or another. But what actually are they?
To explore the bad bots on the Internet, Robby is joined by someone that has spent the last seven years studying them, Dan Woods, Global Head of Intelligence, F5.
They talk about why Dan became fascinated by bots, real-life examples of how bots are being used, and what separates the sophisticated bots from the rest.
They also discuss if we are underestimating the sophistication and the motivation of the organisations behind these automations, how botnets and human click farms work, and whether Elon Musk will be able to solve his bot problem on Twitter.
