How does cybersecurity play a part in ensuring food security?
As part of the ISACA series of the mnemonic security podcast, we’re welcoming Karianne Kjønås, Cyber & Privacy Associate at PwC Norway. Karianne recently won the ISACA master’s thesis award with her thesis on how cybersecurity incidents can affect Norwegian food production.
During her conversation with Robby, she shares some of her major research findings, and how data, automation, IoT and AI play an important role in food production these days.
They also discuss the state of cybersecurity in farming technologies and some of the most common cybersecurity threats to the food supply chain.

Conflictual coexistence
Today’s guest, Raymond Andrè Hagen, holds over 20 years of experience in cybersecurity and information security, and is currently researching advanced persistent threats for his PhD in Computer and Information Systems Security.
He also has experience as a Security Specialist at the Norwegian Digitalization Agency (Digdir), including being Chief Security Officer at Altinn, the Norwegian authorities' solution for reporting and dialogue with business and industry.
In his conversation with Robby, Raymond shares from his threat research on predicting APT attack behaviour, including his hypothesis, prediction models and some preliminary findings.
Raymond and Robby also discuss conflictual coexistence between nation states, especially US-China and US-Russia relationships, and how this has affected the cyber landscape historically, and will continue to affect it in the future.

A student/mentor’s perspective on AI

How will AI impact the next generation of people working with computer science?
This question is probably relevant for anyone making their way through school now, in all fields of study. Without looking for a definite answer, but to help him navigate this question, Robby has invited two people with quite different backgrounds: Richard Stiennon, author of Security Yearbook 2023 and Founder and Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest, and High School Junior, Athena Contos.
Athena was recently visiting colleges, together with her father Brian Contos, a long-time veteran of the mnemonic security podcast. They both noticed a lot of excitement and concern regarding AI amongst those about to embark on their higher education, and questions about how AI will impact their choices of schools, majors, careers, and ultimately their future.
In this episode, Athena and Richard share their perspectives on AI’s potential in education, the ethics of using AI in this context, and how we can go from combating the use of AI in the classroom to making it a useful tool for learning.
