Security Unlocked - Inside Insider Risk

Throughout the course of this podcast series, we’ve had an abundance of great conversations with our colleagues at Microsoft about how they’re working to better protect companies and individuals from cyber-attacks, but today we take a look at a different source of malfeasance: the insider threat. Now that most people are working remotely and have access to their company’s data in the privacy of their own home, it’s easier than ever to access, download, and share private information.

On today’s episode, hosts Nic Fillingham and Natalia Godyla sit down with Microsoft Applied Researcher, Rob McCann to talk about his work in identifying potential insider risk factors and the tools that Microsoft’s Internal Security Team are developing to stop them at the source. 


In This Episode, You Will Learn:

  • The differences between internal and external threats in cybersecurity 
  • Ways that A.I. can factor into anomaly detection in insider risk management 
  • Why the rise in insider attacks is helping make it easier to address the issue


Some Questions We Ask:

  • How do you identify insider risk? 
  • How do you create a tool for customers that requires an extreme amount of case-by-case customization? 
  • How are other organizations prioritizing internal versus external risks?

What A Day - Johnson & Pausin’

Federal health officials recommended a pause on giving out the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, yesterday, after they reported that six women experienced rare blood clots. Nearly 7 million people have received the J&J vaccine so far, so the incidents are extremely rare, but all 50 states suspended the vaccine’s use or advised a pause.

Today, President Biden is expected to announce that he will withdraw all US troops from Afghanistan by 9/11 of this year. This comes after 2,300 US service members and an estimated 157,000 civilians died during the past two decades.

And in headlines: the officer responsible for paralyzing Jacob Blake will not face discipline, the FDA says patients can get abortion pills via telemedicine, and an enormous rabbit has been stolen in England.

The Daily Signal - Investigative Reporter Uncovers Disturbing Facts About Presidential Election in Wisconsin

A Democratic operative gained unprecedented access to the conference center in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where officials counted ballots on election night, investigative reporter Matt Kittle disclosed in recent stories.  

Kittle, who is also executive director of "conservative information hub" Empower Wisconsin, obtained emails that reveal questionable activity during Wisconsin’s 2020 election. The Daily Signal has picked up his reports.

Kittle joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share what he has learned about the role that the Democrat operative and $6 million from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg played in Wisconsin's presidential election.

We also cover these stories:

  • Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine likely will be "paused" because of blood clots that developed in some Americans who got the shot.
  • The Biden administration announces that it will pull out all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, exactly 20 years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
  • The state of Texas sues President Biden for rescinding the Trump administration’s “Remain in Mexico” policy for asylum-seekers. 


Enjoy the show!

Amarica's Constitution - Ending Catch-22

10 years after Professor Amar wrote, with Gary Hart, on how the Senate can put an end to the filibuster, it remains (mostly) in place.  Akhil and Andy take you through the long history of this notorious practice, from the pre-Constitutional theories and practices, through the many misdeeds of the post-Civil War and 20th century periods, to today where the filibuster looms large but also is threatened with extinction.  Professor John Fabian Witt joins the conversation with unique insights into the origins of the “modern” filibuster, how it was employed to thwart anti-lynching as well as major civil rights legislation. What is now rule 22 (“catch-22”) is not so entrenched, not so consistent with the Senate’s mission, as many have thought.  Thanks again to EverScholar (everscholar.org) for sponsoring “Amarica’s Constitution.”
