Security Unlocked - The 2021 Microsoft Digital Defense Report

Okay, look, we know you plan on reading the entire 2021 MDDR at some point. But you're busy. Life gets in the way. We get it. Who has the time! Well, we've got the time, but that's beside the point, and honestly... fortunate for you. We've read the report front to back and have decided to cover some of it today on the podcast, but you'll still need to read all 134 pages yourself if you truly want to grasp the entire piece. Unless you want to be that person who listens to a single podcast and pretends they read the whole thing... then go ahead; we won't tell. 

In this episode of Security Unlocked, hosts Natalia Godyla and Nic Fillingham are joined by Sian John, Microsoft's director of strategic growth. Sian is currently working with the business development team, exploring growth opportunities for Microsoft to strengthen security, compliance, and identity offerings that address unfulfilled needs in the market. As a security professional with over 25 years of experience, Sian accompanies us as we discuss the 2021 Microsoft Digital Defense Report, which she personally contributed to.   

  

In This Episode You Will Learn:    

  • The history and analysis of the 2021 Microsoft Digital Defense Report 
  • The evolution of cybercrime services that are for sale 
  • What's providing new attackers with access to deeper data 

 

Some Questions We Ask:    

  • How did Microsoft settle on the topics and themes of the 2021 MDDR?   
  • What are some takeaways from the newly added disinformation chapter? 
  • Why isn't Zero Trust being implemented, considering the conversations we've had that it's more critical than ever?

What A Day - Striketober Fest

Thousands of John Deere workers are on strike after the company and the United Automobile Workers union failed to negotiate a new contract. Jonah Furman, a staff writer and organizer with Labor Notes, joins us to discuss what led to the Deere strike and the national movement by workers demonstrating for better pay and rights.

And in headlines: the Haitian gang that abducted 17 people has asked for $1 million per person in ransom, Brazil’s Senate calls for homicide charges against President Jair Bolsonaro for his handling of COVID-19, and the January 6th House commission holds Steve Bannon in criminal contempt.

The Daily Signal - What’s Inside Democrats’ 2,465-Page $3.5 Trillion Spending Bill?

Democrats' $3.5 trillion dollar spending package gives the IRS permission, and funding, to snoop on nearly every American's bank account, Jessica Anderson, executive director of Heritage Action for America, says.


The "Biden administration is asking Congress to go ... weaponize the IRS to spy on Americans," Anderson says.


The future of the bill is unclear after Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., said he could not support a spending bill over $1.5 trillion. Anderson joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss how likely it is for the bill to move forward in Congress, and what we know about the provisions in the package.


We also cover these stories:

  • Christian schools are experiencing a boom in enrollment.
  • Director of the Berkeley Atmospheric Sciences Center David Romps resigns, saying the organization has become political.
  • City council members in New York City vote unanimously to remove a statue of Thomas Jefferson.


Enjoy the Show!

NPR's food and agriculture correspondent Dan Charles explains why farmers are happy, bakers are frustrated and people who want to preserve the world's natural forests are worried.

NPR's Book of the Day - Stephanie Grisham is — yes, really — taking our questions now

Former Trump press secretary Stephanie Grisham famously held no press briefings during her time in the White House — but now, she's ready to talk. Her memoir, I'll Take Your Questions Now, is the latest tell-all from a former Trump staffer — and Tamara Keith, from NPR's Politics Podcast, hit her with some tough questions about whether the book is simply an image rehab project. "Too many books have been out there to help one person's reputation so they can be rehabilitated ... or to try to rewrite history," Grisham says. "I just want to tell my story and have people take what they want from it."

Amarica's Constitution - Errors of Commission

Remember “18 reasons for 18 years?”  Well, so did the Biden Commission, and as they reject court packing, they flirt with the 18 year plan.  A few voices are raising in the media and even some on the commission, so we review their arguments and analyze their possible merits.  A big question - can it be implemented by statute, or is a constitutional amendment required?  No surprise that Akhil has a clear opinion on this.  If this happens, you heard it here first - or rather, you read it first back in 2002 when Akhil and his co-author came up with it.
