If it were a country, cybercrime would be the third largest economy in the world behind the United States and China. Best estimates suggest cybercrime will cost $10.5 trillion globally on an annual basis by the year 2025. In fact, AT and T says that represents the greatest transfer of economic wealth in history.
So, what do we do? How do you do business? How does a government function? How do you safeguard your investments in the face of that historic threat?
This Story Studio Network podcast series, ponders those questions and explores the solutions to harden. Cybersecurity. Welcome to 1:CLICK 2:CYBER CHAOS.
It's not a matter of if, but when your data will be breached. It is hospitals that are being attacked. It is financial institutions. It is governments. It's everyone, including individuals.
When you look at things like connected cities and connected cars and connected devices, they are all entry points for “the bad guys” to get into your networks. Combatting cybercrime is becoming all the more challenging. There's a shortfall of 3 million jobs globally. That’s good news for those who are pursuing a career in cyber security. We believe this podcast will be an eye-opener. Put an ear on it.

Quantum computing is still in it’s early days, but organizations must begin planning now, because one thing is certain : modern encryption as we know it is toast.
The bad actors know it too. They are stealing data now to encrypt later, when quantum computing comes.

AI is a superpower. The question is, will it be used for good, or will it

bad and biased data to prevent cyber criminals from using both train

The energy sector like most industries, has experienced a rapid digital transformation over the past few years creating new vulnerabilities for sophisticated cyber criminals to exploit. But for the most part this is an industry that gets it! Hydro companies have fostered a culture of resiliency, accountability and reliability. A “ zero trust “ mindset underpins it’s cyber security policies.

The Rogers network outage in the summer of 2022 is a cyber security lesson for us all. Telecom companies have learned the importance of designing and testing redundant infrastructure. Planning for a crisis before it occurs, should be job one for C-suite executives and the average citizen has realized just how dependent they are on cellular and internet service. What did we learn from the Rogers Outage and What’s next for the telecom industry in Canada?

Let's peel back the layers of a cyber-attack. Increasingly it starts with fake news.
Dis-information is part of the cyber-attack delivery package used to deliver malware. And how? The tried-and-true method of manipulating people's fears and heightened emotion. It's been used throughout time in elections notably in 2016, it was discovered that Russia used Facebook and hacking techniques to promote Donald Trump.
We saw it also firsthand in the pandemic. Conspiracy theories raged about the efficacy of certain vaccines. Technology has changed the playing field. There is no one quick fix, but there is one thing the experts do agree on: Disinformation and cyber security need to be addressed.
In this episode, we’re joined by Kevin Newman, the award-winning journalist and the host of the Attention Control podcast.
And Greg Markel, the CEO of Ridge Canada, Cyber Solutions, a company founded by Tom Ridge, who served as the first US Secretary of Homeland Security.
What do you do when hackers come after the power grid and plunge the city into darkness? Or intruders infiltrate the I-T systems of a water treatment plant, seizing control of the valves used to clean the water we drink? Increasingly we are seeing sophisticated, widespread cyber attacks on critical infrastructure.
That's costing millions in ransom demands and putting lives at risk. Today, we explore the gaps in the systems, examine questions about government oversight and regulation and debate the question of whether threats to critical infrastructure are outpacing protections.
Our guests are Kevin Newman, award-winning investigative journalist and host of the podcast Attention Control, which focuses on issues of cyber security, privacy, election, fraud, and national security.

Since the start of the pandemic, healthcare organizations have been inundated by cyber-attacks.
It's part of a global trend where attackers hold systems and data hostage in exchange for multi-million-dollar extortion payments. The cyber-attack on the healthcare system in Newfoundland in November of 2021 is proof of the urgent need to act.
In this episode, we'll tell you why the health care sector is a top target for attack and explore the challenges and dangers it faces. We’re joined by Richard Dugan, a broadcast journalist at VOCM news in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Jeff Musson, Executive Director of the Coding for Veterans program
Cyber attacks. Data breaches. Ransomware. No doubt about it. Cybersecurity news has claimed its spot in the headlines and the impact is huge on so many levels.
