    Netwrix - Hybrid Security Trends Report

    What does it take for organizations to stay one step ahead of cyber threats in an increasingly digital world? In this episode, I sit down with Dirk Schrader, Field CISO EMEA and VP of Security Research at Netwrix, to explore the state of cybersecurity and the findings from Netwrix’s latest annual security report. The conversation reveals a stark reality: 79% of organizations experienced a cyberattack in the past year, a rise from 68% in 2023, with ransomware remaining one of the most significant threats. Dirk offers insights into what these trends mean for organizations today, especially as cloud-based infrastructure attacks are now matching on-premise incidents. He highlights how identity compromise has become the primary attack vector, particularly for privileged identities, underscoring the importance of identity and privilege management. Throughout the episode, Dirk shares the protective measures organizations can adopt, from fostering a positive security culture that encourages reporting and proactive engagement to utilizing just-in-time privilege approaches and identity threat detection systems. We also discuss the challenges and opportunities brought by remote work and the increasing reliance on cloud services, which demand a shift in traditional security practices. Dirk advocates for a flexible but resilient approach to cyber risk management, where understanding sector-specific needs and balancing regulatory compliance play crucial roles. Lastly, we touch on the role of AI in the evolving cybersecurity landscape—both as a defense mechanism and as a potential tool for adversaries, especially with threats like deepfake voice calls and scalable persuasive phishing on the horizon. Tune in to understand how Netwrix’s research and Dirk’s expertise can help your organization anticipate risks, fortify defenses, and foster a robust security strategy in an era where cyber resilience is paramount.

    A CISO’s Guide to Mobile Security: Key Strategies from Jamf

    In this episode, we tackle a fresh perspective on a common cybersecurity question: What keeps a CISO awake at night? According to Michael Covington, VP of Strategy at Jamf, the real issue isn’t about external threats but rather a lack of robust security processes, especially in mobile device management. Covington shares insights on how a well-thought-out strategy can let CISOs rest easy, with their minds at ease knowing that key areas, from cyber hygiene to compliance, are under control. Our conversation dives into three primary areas that Covington believes are essential for keeping mobile device vulnerabilities at bay and ensuring secure integration within enterprise ecosystems. First, he highlights the often-overlooked importance of cyber hygiene. He notes that nearly 40% of mobile users operate devices with known vulnerabilities, a staggering figure that reveals the challenges organizations face in keeping devices up-to-date and correctly configured. Covington argues that regular updates, vigilant configuration management, and consistent patching practices are not just best practices—they’re fundamental in building a secure foundation. Second, we explore the complexities of compliance, particularly when it comes to mobile devices. Covington points out that many organizations struggle to balance security regulations with the diverse landscape of personal and work devices. He suggests that the right tools can streamline compliance, ensuring that mobile devices align with broader corporate standards without creating unnecessary friction. Lastly, Covington addresses the evolving nature of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies and the intricacies of managing shared devices. Despite their long-standing presence, these device policies often present challenges, with many organizations lacking effective management strategies. Covington emphasizes the need for layered solutions that integrate into existing security frameworks without overwhelming IT teams or sacrificing the user experience. Join us as we unpack Jamf’s approach to these challenges and discuss the future of mobile security in industries from healthcare to aviation. How can organizations prepare for the next wave of AI-driven data on mobile devices? And what steps can they take now to ensure seamless, secure access for users? Listen in and share your thoughts on the balance between security, compliance, and user enablement in today’s mobile-driven world.

    Checkatrade and the Tech Transforming the £59B Home Services Market

    Can finding a tradesperson be as effortless as ordering a pizza? Today, we explore this question with Jambu Palaniappan, CEO of Checkatrade and former Uber executive, as he leads the digital transformation of the £59 billion UK home services industry. In this episode, Jambu shares his vision for bringing trust and efficiency to a sector that, while essential, has largely remained offline. Since its founding in 1998, Checkatrade has built a reputation as a trusted platform for connecting homeowners with vetted tradespeople, addressing a critical need that emerged after a natural disaster highlighted the risk of rogue traders. Now, Jambu is focused on evolving Checkatrade from a traditional lead-generation platform into a comprehensive, end-to-end marketplace that simplifies every step of the home services journey—from finding a qualified tradesperson to payment and review. Imagine a world where scheduling, cost estimation, and invoicing are all streamlined on one platform, giving users peace of mind and tradespeople a business management toolkit that’s intuitive and effective. Checkatrade’s digital roadmap includes innovations like a new consumer app, launched to enhance accessibility and engagement, and business tools that make quoting and invoicing seamless. But with rapid innovation comes the challenge of balancing trust and quality. Checkatrade’s rigorous 12-step vetting process remains central to its mission, and the company continues to reject potential members who don’t meet its standards—because, as Jambu puts it, “no one checks trades like Checkatrade.” Alongside technological advancements, Checkatrade is also addressing a shortage in skilled trades by partnering with over 500 schools to promote careers in the industry, making this digital transformation as inclusive as it is innovative. In our conversation, Jambu reflects on lessons from his career, including insights from Uber’s rapid growth and his gratitude toward mentors who saw his potential. With new features on the horizon and plans to transform the home services market, what does the future hold for Checkatrade’s digital journey? And will this blend of innovation and trust reshape how we navigate home improvement? Share your thoughts with us after tuning in!
