CWP #7 290719 - the summer vacation edition

Bec and Vic return from the summer holiday (sorry, "vacation") to talk all things resilience - cybersecurity, operational, and emotional. Includes a calming photo of Vic's dog swimming in the sea, to remind you to take some time out - ideally with a dog.

WARNING: NOT SUITABLE FOR THOSE WHO STILL BELIEVE IN SANTA, OR THOSE WHO ARE PARTICULARLY DEVOTED TO BIG BIRD.

Bec and Vic welcome Emily Overton, aka RMGirl_UK, to discuss records management and its relation to cybersecurity, privacy and all the rest.

CWP #12 - Records Management!!!

Bec and Vic have more fun than they should in the company of infosec rock star Rik Ferguson. Prepare for ransomware, operational technology attacks, and being an ally in infosec. All served with a side order of cheesy peas, seitan dippers, and our new gameshow "Huawei or not Huawei?"

CWP #13 - It's Only Rik Ferguson!!!

Becky and Vic try to keep themselves amused while NOT BEING AT RSA. We cover some of the more diverting cyber issues of recent weeks, including facial recognition, responding to very public breaches, and rogue pet feeders; and we discuss security theory vs security practice, and learning on the job.

CWP #14 The NOT AT RSA edition

Don't Panic! It's the Working From Home edition. Bec and Vic speak to Jess Barker about COVID-19 scams and misinformation, fear and those who seek to play on it, the security and well-being aspects of working from home, and how it feels to be Boris Johnson.

CWP #15 The WFH edition

One for the fans. Vic tries to recover after an unfortunate few minutes as a dalek. Bec and Jess, meanwhile, are consummate professionals.

CWP #18 12/07/20 - Saving the World (Wide Web)

Feeling a bit meh? Don't worry, so are we. Bec and Vic shoot the breeze about "doing the cyberz" in lockdown, and how sometimes it's important to channel Linda Carter and Sheena Easton. There's also inevitable discussion of ransomware, everywhere.
