Ransomware: the problem that everyone is talking about, yet somehow continues to get worse with each passing year. In 2021, the cost of ransomware to global businesses is estimated to reach a whopping $20B. The problem has reached such a critical mass that it can no longer be cast away as some unknowable IT problem––everyone from cyber insurance providers to the federal government have taken note. ExtraHop VP, GM of International and Global Security Programs Mike Campfield joins Security Weekly for a retrospective on ransomware in 2021, shares his predictions on how it will evolve in 2022 and beyond, and what controls enterprises can put into place to build their resilience to the growing threat.

I once told my college advisor that I wanted to double major in computer science and jazz performance. She laughed at me. Instead, I jumped into a career in IT and played jazz - without a degree in either. Turns out, that was fine - the industry valued experience and results over academic achievement. Today's guest *has* two degrees, one in fine arts, one in pre-law, and that's also fine. If there's anything I've learned in InfoSec, it's the mind that matters most, less so the degrees or certs on your wall. Angela Marafino gets cybersecurity and understands what makes it tick. Using this knowledge, she has built a personal brand, network, and career in an impressively short time. She is simultaneously mentor and mentee. Today, we'll explore Angela's path into the industry as well as some of her views on challenges, like imposter syndrome.

Traditionally, the red team has been seen as "fun and interesting", with blue team characterized as "all work, no play" in terms of cybersecurity career paths. Today we talk with Frank McGovern to explore the current state of blue teams and the importance of security policy. Not only has Frank been a practitioner his entire career, but he also built Blue Team Con, a labor of love designed to fill a significant gap in both the Chicago security events scene and across the wider cybersecurity events industry.

When it comes to detecting the next cyber breach, would your organization pass the test? Of course, in real life, you not only need to ace the practice exam – you need to test against the real threats. So when SE Labs recently conducted the industry’s first network detection and response (NDR) test against NSX NDR, they used a range of advanced persistent threats designed to compromise systems and penetrate target networks in the same way as criminals and other attackers breach systems and networks. And the result? VMware NSX Network Detection and Response (NDR) was able to detect every targeted attack and tracked each of the hostile activities that occurred during the attacks. Every. One.
