In this episode we’re joined by two cybersecurity educators for their perspective on the current state of education in the cybersecurity industry. This is a really important topic given the current cybersecurity skills shortage where its becoming more difficult to find qualified and skilled individuals to fill cybersecurity jobs. Gotham Sharma serves as the Managing Director of the Exeltek Consulting Group, where he manages daily operations of the New York City based cybersecurity advisory firm. Previously a Wall Street consultant for Global Technology Operations at various Fortune 500 Organizations, Gotham left financial services to consult for the nonprofit world, where he focused on youth development and STEM education. In particular, his work centered around designing Career and Technical Education (CTE) Programs for traditionally disconnected young adults. You can contact Gotham via his LinkedIn page. Dr. Brian Krupp is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science department at Baldwin Wallace University. He is the faculty advisor of the Mobile Privacy and Security (MOPS) research group where their current research is investigating methods to increase consumer awareness of privacy issues in smartphone and tablet applications. He is also the faculty advisor of CS+ which provides computer science opportunities for elementary to high school students through Tech Camps, school visits, and partnerships in the NEO region. You can contact Dr. Krupp via his Twitter or find out more about the classes he teaches and his work with students via his Baldwin Wallace University home page. On this podcast we discuss if there really is a shortage of cybersecurity talent and what programs are available for young kids as well as teenagers and college students that may be interested in a cybersecurity career. We also discuss the importance of mentorship, being a good mentor as well as the need for more women, minorities and diversity in the cybersecurity industry. Thanks to Gotham and Dr. Krupp for being guests on our show! Recorded April 19, 2018.

In episode 320, Tom and Scott discuss the contentious issue of who is accountable when Facebook or Instagram accounts are hacked, discussing potential failings on both the user's and Meta's part. They explore the possibility of inadequate security measures on these platforms and the implications of Meta potentially profiting from fraudulent ads. The episode also covers a Wired article regarding 41 state attorney generals in the U.S. urging Meta to enhance their security to manage the rising complaints of account theft. Furthermore, the 'Aware Much' segment highlights a new threat involving spoofed Zoom, Google, and Skype meeting requests that spread remote access Trojans (RATs), discussing the sophistication of these phishing attacks and malware's ability to compromise systems. The conversation touches on the effectiveness of two-factor authentication (2FA), the challenge of identifying malicious URLs, and the role of government in pressuring companies like Meta to improve security practices.
