We can rid the world of ransomware attacks to such an extent they are no longer a likely risk vector! It is possible, but we all have to work together.
It all starts with one simple yet controversial concept: criminalize the payments of digital ransoms.
The key is how one act will set in motion a cascading chain of events, like dominoes falling one after another, to reach our goals. This video explains the 10 steps that will happen.
Thanks for watching. Let’s communicate and collaborate together. That is how we make cybersecurity strong in protecting the global digital ecosystem.

A new vulnerability has been discovered in the popular Zoom online conferencing tool that allows an attacker complete remote control over the targeted system, without any involvement by the user. As vulnerabilities go, this is pretty bad. But there is some very good news about this exploit.
In this weeks video, I cover both sides of the story and discuss how vulnerability research has improved over the years.

Watch panelists Chris Roberts, G. Mark Hardy, and Matthew Rosenquist at VShield 2020
I had the honor to be on a distinguished panel with the incredibly knowledgeable G. Mark Hardy and the infamous white-hat hacker Chris Roberts. We discussed the evolution of cyber resilience, agility, and innovation in these troubling times.
Gokhan Say, the organizer of VShield 2020, facilitated a great list of issues that impact every digital citizen on the planet!
Watch the panel as we discuss the following topics:
1. Is Covid-19 a turning point for cybersecurity?
2. Are Insider Threats increasing with the shift to remote workforces?
3. Are trusted employees still the greatest threat? How can security help improve employee behaviors?
4. Privacy: is it a government, business, or societal problem? What is the responsible approach? Should tech companies be compelled to unlock user devices, build-in backdoors, or use weak encryption algorithms?
5. Are Bug Bounty programs good or evil for technology?
6. How important is IoT security? Are the emerging risks being addressed or ignored across transportation, critical infrastructure, and government agencies?
7. Nation States – will the cold war intensify?
8. How will hardware and firmware insecurity for critical infrastructure play out? Where are the risks?
9. What are the most important emerging topics in cybersecurity!
These guys were awesome! I was thrilled to be part of this panel and share my humble thoughts. We all are looking forward to doing this again on-stage next year in Istanbul Turkey, where we can debate, banter, pontificate, take questions from the audience!
The entire VShield 2020 conference is recorded and posted to YouTube!
Here is a link, our panel starts at 3:11:27 and ends at 3:44:15 (~33 minute panel): [https://youtu.be/YFy7PjAmep4?t=11487](https://youtu.be/YFy7PjAmep4?t=11487)

Ransomware risks are skyrocketing with increasing costs and greater impacts that are expanding to affect everyone!
It is a growing threat to organizations and national critical infrastructures connected to the Internet. Ransomware puts in jeopardy all the products, services, and basic functions that citizens depend upon every day. It can and will eventually impact everyone.
This is the first in a series of videos on Ransomware. We will cover the growth, costs, critical impacts, and why paying ransoms is such a bad idea.
The ransomware menace will get much worse unless we collectively gain a better understanding of the threat and how to address the problem collectively.
The Ransomware Explained video series will help shed light on the strategic aspects of this criminal activity and will spur interesting discussions!
