Cybercrime is the fastest growing crime costing Americans over $20 Billion last year alone. Your personal and business devices carry sensitive information that is highly valued by cybercriminals. Criminals can obtain personal information electronically through hacking or illegally purchasing information from the Deep Web/Dark Web. They can also obtain information through paper records that are not properly disposed of or securely stored. And they can trick you to disclose information using social engineering techniques and scams. Once you know the threats and the tactics used by hackers, there are steps you can take to protect yourself.
In today’s podcast, RANE founder and Chief Collaborative Officer interviews Dr. Christopher Pierson, CEO and Founder, BlackCloak.

Most security awareness training either overwhelms people or puts them on edge. Humans are an "interdependent species" which requires we trust one another, and security goes against those core beliefs. As a result, employees often don't care about security or think it's necessary.
With a better understanding of "why" it benefits them as individuals, employees are much more open to the "how" to be secure at work and can start to appreciate the value security provides.
In this podcast, RANE CMO Greg Radner interviews best-selling author Robert Siciliano, CEO of Safr.Me, and the architect of the CSI Protection certification – a Cyber Social and Identity Personal Protection security awareness training program. Robert discusses how to transform your employee's awareness into behavior-changing appreciation and take advantage of the full benefits of being secure.
CSI Protection ThreatReady Cyber Awareness Training promotes proactive strategies to enhance security and protection and help prepare your staff for over 30 threat vectors. Instruction and training covers the latest best practices and client-centered approaches to prevent cybercrime, identity theft, and social media intrusions and instill in participants cyber-safe habits so that they and your company don't become the next cyber victim.
Reputation Risk has become the largest, scariest and least manageable of all operational risks facing today’s enterprise. The ERM process consistently flags its criticality, but its lack of clarity makes mitigation seem overwhelmingly difficult. The result is an increasing number of nervous CEOs and boards with fingers crossed, hoping that they will not preside over the next “front page news” crisis. In times past, reputation risk events could just be dealt with in the courts, but today all stakeholders know and care about the people behind these companies and what they stand for. The rules for crisis management have changed, and it’s clear that a new approach is needed to reduce the likelihood and impact of such events.
In this podcast, RANE CMO Greg Radner interviews Anthony Johndrow, CEO of Reputation Economy Advisors (www.RepEcon.com), where he and his colleagues offer consulting and advisory services to the senior management and boards of leading companies. While their approach is reputation-based, their clients typically partner with them around one of three specific needs: advanced perception analysis/metrics, message integration for growth, or reputation risk. Anthony has spent over 20 years acting as trusted advisor and partner to reputation champions all over the world. Considered one of only a handful of experts in this field, he is a sought-after keynote speaker and his thoughts on reputation and its link to business can be found in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Bloomberg TV, The Economist, CNBC, American Banker and Financier Worldwide.
While today’s conversation will focus on how to build risk capabilities, Anthony believes that Reputation (when treated as a management discipline) has the potential to provide tremendous competitive advantage for companies who embrace the challenges and opportunities of today’s Reputation Economy.
Rumors are swirling around the impending nationwide launch of China’s controversial social credit system. The system, which collects vast amounts of public and private data, is intended to tighten its control over its nearly 1.4 billion people, but it could affect businesses as well.
Low grades could make it impossible for companies to borrow money and lead to investigations, frozen bank accounts, or limitations on local employees’ movement. The authorities are installing separate facial-recognition technology and other monitoring systems to contain dissent, as well as stop crime.
In this podcast, RANE Analyst Zachary Torrey interviews Kendra Schaefer, Head of Digital Research at Trivium China. Kendra leads Trivium’s User Behavior division, consulting on User Behavior, the Digital Silk Road, and China's social credit systems.

West Africa has become one of the premier destinations for emerging markets investors. Improved economic and political governance, coupled with the fast-growing population, presents opportunities for business in an environment of slowing global growth. Despite the improvements to the business environment, many firms continue to have overly risk-averse attitudes towards West Africa due to outdated attitudes and beliefs about the region.
It is vital to examine how recent developments across West Africa have created new business possibilities, and obstacles, for investment in the region. In this podcast, RANE Research Analyst Cody Gardiner interviews Nana Ampofo, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Songhai Advisory, a firm that provides strategic analysis and risk assessment to help clients conduct responsible and transformative business in sub-Saharan Africa.
The digital information stored on your computers and in the cloud is the lifeblood of your organization. You know it, your customers know it, and would-be hackers know it too. Cyber criminals are constantly using new techniques to access your “crown jewels” because the barriers most companies put in place simply are not adequate.
This is particularly true for the data you warehouse, known as data at rest. From financial information to medical records and intellectual property, adversaries work very hard to bypass conventional and outdated methods of data protection.
Yet, there is a way to prevent your company from becoming the next victim of a catastrophic data loss – even if the bad guys manage to breach your defenses.

The recent shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, OH again reiterated the need for companies to address and prepare for an active shooter situation. Because active shooter incidents are dynamic and unique by nature, it is difficult to put forth a single set of best practices for how companies or organizations should prepare for or respond to such incidents.

Enterprise cybersecurity has always focused on that which is within the company’s walls or where its data lies. In recent years employees bringing their own devices (BYOD) has shifted this paradigm with employees giving up some privacy and containerization in exchange for accessing work email on their personal devices.
However, recently the threat landscape has shifted more dramatically. Adversaries are actively targeting key executives, CEOs, CFOs, COOs, and other business leaders in their personal lives to break into or gather intelligence on the company. Whether it is password reuse and credential stuffing, hacking the home router, or infecting the executive or a family member with malware, the attackers have set their sights on executives in their personal lives to gain access to the company, accounts, or sensitive data.

Today’s podcast focuses on the panel entitled Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, and the Implications for Financial Crime Compliance.

The opioid crisis is arguably the single greatest public health issue in the last 100 years – in large part driven by dysfunction in the U.S. healthcare system. Solving the problem requires that we get serious about tackling the broader challenges of how we pay for, deliver, and receive care. Fortunately, upstream antidotes have been created and proven by forward-looking leaders and employers. It’s time to apply these solutions to stop the crisis in its tracks —which will go a long way toward solving larger issues with our health care system.

Business leaders and their governing boards face ever more challenging disruptions and must be ever more on guard. While some disruptions can be anticipated, others arrive without warning. Their onset stresses decision makers, impairs company operations, and may even put the enterprise at risk.

In recent years, culture has increasingly become a top corporate governance priority.

In this podcast, RANE founder David Lawrence interviews R.P. Eddy, a globally recognized national security and intelligence expert and CEO of Ergo, a leading intelligence and analysis firm, on how we can we find those prescient people before the next catastrophe strikes.
CSOs and CISOs are constantly looking for better ways to detect and mitigate emerging threats before they can impact the business. Unfortunately, most data collection methods today are manual and unable to quickly identify critical insights on which to make accurate recommendations.
Technology can automatically collect, organize, and analyze the entire web to identify new vulnerabilities and emerging threat indicators. Natural language processing, machine learning, and even artificial intelligence tools can now be used to surface threat intelligence in real time from the open, deep, and dark web, enabling risk professionals to efficiently dismiss false positives and detect incidents they might otherwise miss.
In this podcast, RANE founder David Lawrence sits down with Christopher Ahlberg, CEO and Co-Founder of Recorded Future, to discuss the use of real-time threat intelligence by organizations as well as highlight the threats companies should be most concerned about in 2017 and how to best prepare for them.

Our ability to foresee and protect against natural catastrophes has never been greater; yet, we consistently fail to heed the warnings and protect ourselves and our communities, often with devastating consequences.
In The Ostrich Paradox: Why We Underprepare for Disasters, Wharton professors Robert Meyer and Howard Kunreuther draw on years of teaching and research to explain why disaster preparedness efforts consistently fall short.
In this podcast, RANE founder David Lawrence interviews Howard Kunruether, Professor of Decision Sciences and Public Policy at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and co-director of the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center, on how people and institutions can work with, instead of against, our natural tendancies.

With cybersecurity top of mind with most risk professionals, a lot of attention is being focused on the forensic examination of breaches. Unfortunately, the threat intelligence produced from these deep dives does not seem to be able to stop the breaches as adversaries are staying one step ahead of those trying to prevent them from succeeding. Even the information sharing approach has not been able to keep up with the ever-evolving sophistication of bad actors.
In this podcast, RANE founder David Lawrence sits down with Jeff Castelli, Executive Vice President, Federal, Endgame to discuss how threat intelligence can be used to inform the development of more effective breach prevention and detection and faster eviction of intruders after a cyber attack.

From cyber and physical security to legal and regulatory changes, the breadth and velocity of risk continues to increase for corporations. In fact, three out of four Americans say they feel more fearful today than they did twenty years ago.
In his book, sociologist Barry Glassner argues that it is our perception of danger that has increased, not the actual level of risk. He also claims that we are afraid of the wrong risks, and that there is a cost to society – and a danger to corporations - for focusing on the wrong things and ignoring the things that really matter.
In this podcast, RANE founder David Lawrence and Stephen Lassonde, former Dean of Student Life and Lecturer on History at Harvard University and now at Hunter College, interview Glassner, author of The Culture of Fear: Why Americans Are Afraid of the Wrong Things, a national bestseller that was named a “Best Book of the Year” by Knight-Ridder newspapers and by the Los Angeles Times Book Review.

RANE founder David Lawrence interviews Irwin Redlener and Jeff Schlegelmilch from the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at the Earth Institute, Columbia University.
Whether through the preparation they demand or the destruction they cause, major disasters present a threat to organizations in addition to the risks they pose to our communities and our national security. In the face of terrorism, cyberattacks, natural hazards amplified by climate change, emerging biological hazards and infrastructure fragility, the resilience of any single entity depends on a cross disciplinary approach to thinking, learning, and action. As recent events have illustrated, resilience can also make a significant difference in terms of savings in lives, property, and assets. However, too often, the public and private sectors work in parallel efforts that don’t fully capitalize on the expertise and resources that they have to offer each other.
