In this episode, Steve Durbin, Chief Executive of the Information Security Forum, is joined by Brett Johnson, former U.S. Most Wanted cybercriminal turned federal consultant, to explore how AI and off-the-shelf tools have lowered the barrier to entry for attackers, why compliance training is falling short, and what his journey from prison to the FBI means for cybersecurity’s future.
Today, a person can enter into the environment, not understand any dynamic of any type of attack or crime they’re trying to commit, and they can be successful.
Key Takeaways:
- Volume has replaced skill as the primary cybercrime threat, with millions of low-skill individuals now able to launch effective attacks using AI and off-the-shelf tools.
- Until security training addresses how attackers manipulate emotions, it will remain little more than a compliance exercise.
- Know your crown jewels and guard them obsessively.
