Scinary Cybersecurity, LLC

We have quite an interesting podcast today! There is a lot of good information about the trends in data breaches, but we also have a new face joining on the podcast this week. Richard has stepped out for this one, probably knowing this would go off the rails. As such, mead has made a return to the podcast.

That sounds like a recipe for entertainment to us! So hurry up and check out this week's episode of the Scinary Information Nexus!

To our 5 listeners, sorry we haven't been putting out the regular announcement of podcast episodes lately.

This week's podcast is a fun one as our hosts discuss the recent CISA advisory, router bans, and how the Government may use EDR. With all the government talk, we had to throw in some mild conspiracy theories for Joe as well.

Scinary Cybersecurity Is Your EDR Actually A Government Backdoor?

Richard has made his return this week on the podcast! He saw last week's episode and thought that it didn't go far enough off the rails. So, he came back to make sure that this episode had more of the chaos that we all thrive on.

Well, that and we had to address the recent Stryker cyber attack.

Whatever his reason, join us this week as we analyze the recent cyber attack and talk about how to separate personal and professional data.

It is another great week at Scinary. The podcast episode is a bit unusual this time. Our great leader, Richard, has let loose the cohosts and given them the reigns.

They took this chance to discuss shared experiences managing and operating a functional SOC. If you've wondered about what a SOC should be doing, or what some of the pitfalls are, now is a good chance to answer those questions.

Enjoy the show and see just how chaotic, or calm, things are with the "inmates running the asylum."

You spoke and Richard heard you. On this week's podcast episode, Richard has lowered his mic volume, but trust us, he is still just as energetic in the studio.

We are talking to Ginnie Harwood of Bespoke Consulting and taking a look at E-rate and the... unique ways that it has been applied. If that sounds interesting, then you're in good company with us.

The weather has let up, and our podcast hosts are back again this week. This time, they are talking about Cybersecurity Frameworks. For some, it's a foreboding topic, while for Richard, it's a fond way to spend an afternoon, as long as there's beer.

Join us this week and decide for yourself whether NIST or CIS should reign supreme. So break out your Cybersecurity Framework: pocket edition and listen in!

‘Twas the night before Christmas, the servers were still,
No phishing or ransomware to give IT a chill.

The firewalls were patched, the backups all tight,
In hopes that the network would stay safe tonight.

Have a merry, secure holiday from everyone at Scinary!
