Today on Cyber Work, we’re talking about last September’s breach of the MGM Grand Casino chain, an attack that lead to a week of tech failure, downtime and over a hundred million dollars in lost revenue. The attackers were able to get in via a point that my guest, Aaron Painter of Nametag Inc, said is a common point of failure: the request for a password and credential reset from the helpdesk, and the ever-frustrating “security questions” approach to making sure you are who you are. Nametag is built to create an alternative to security questions and go beyond MFA to create a method of verification that is even resistant to AI Deepfake attempts!
This conversation goes into lots of interesting spaces, including career mapping, the importance of diverse design teams and the benefits of security awareness training, plus you get to learn about an amazing piece of emergent tech!

Now, I’m just going to come out and say it: Tindill's episode is like a cybersecurity career seminar in a box, and a must-not-miss if you’re interested in not just ICS and OT security, but specifically the realm of Risk Assessment. Tindill brought slides and literally lays out his entire career for us to see, including the highs and even some of the lows, and what he learned from them. He explains the fuzzy distinctions between ICS security and the act of determining risk for said systems, gives us a 60 year history of the increasing attack surface and number or risk types associated with operational technology, and gives us tons of great career advice and ways to get started.

Infosec and Cyber Work hacks want to help you pass the Security+ exam! We have three separate hacks on this channel to help you through the process of studying for and taking the exam. But what about in the years after, when it’s time to get ready to recertify? Infosec boot camp instructor Tommy Gober walks you through all the different ways you can earn your continuing education units (CEU), how many you need to re-certify your Security+ and some less-known activities that can keep your CEU numbers rising and make ongoing learning an ongoing process, not something you need to “cram” at the end of three years. Wanna know more? Well, it's all here in today’s Cyber Work Hack.

Tom Terronez joins Cyber Work to discuss security in an industry that doesn’t always make the headlines for security news: dentistry. Terronez co-founded Medix Dental, an IT and security provider for the dental industry, 20 years ago, and has the lowdown on some of the specific security issues dentist offices and networks face. It is an uphill battle to get the industry to acknowledge its extreme insecurity, and I find out how a shared love of Hall & Oates got Terronez into this very specific area of the security sphere. And I promise that I tried to avoid overusing the phrase “drill down on this point.” Spoiler: I failed.

Infosec and the Cyber Work Hacks podcast are here to help you pass the Security+ exam! For today’s hack, let’s talk bootcamps. If you’ve been piecing your way through the Sec+ study guide for six months or more, it’s possible that you would learn better in a concentrated, focused environment with expert instruction. I’m talking, of course, about Infosec boot camp instructor Tommy Gober!
Goberwill walks you through what the Infosec five-day Security+ boot camp is like the learning and memorizing strategies you’ll employ and all the ways that boot camp training can make the difference between passing on the first try and endless headaches and heartaches of re-sitting the exam. You don’t have to do it alone! But to learn more, you do have to keep it here for another Cyber Work Hack.
