Don’t let your data fall into the wrong hands – follow these steps for ultimate security.

This Kitecast episode features Chris Pogue, Director of Digital Forensics at CyberCX, a cybersecurity veteran with 25 years of experience. Chris brings unique insights from his extensive background spanning penetration testing, executive leadership, and military instruction. As an adjunct professor at Oklahoma State University, he teaches both international business and digital forensics, emphasizing the critical importance of communication between technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Chris introduces CyberCX as "the biggest cybersecurity company you've never heard of"—a pure-play security firm with 1,500 professionals globally. Founded in Australia through the acquisition of 24 boutique security firms, CyberCX stands apart by focusing exclusively on cybersecurity expertise without the distractions of hardware sales or software development. With specialized teams including 200 penetration testers and 40 incident responders, they offer comprehensive security solutions tailored to each client's unique risk profile.

The conversation reveals alarming trends in the threat landscape, including the surprising resurgence of SQL injection attacks targeting forgotten systems and unpatched vulnerabilities. Chris explains that once an exploit is announced, threat actors typically begin targeting it within 24 to 48 hours, yet organizations often take 60 to 90 days to implement patches. The podcast also explores how ransomware tactics are evolving from simple data encryption to targeting operational technology and critical infrastructure, creating more leverage by disrupting business continuity rather than just threatening data exposure.

Third-party risk management emerges as a critical concern, with Chris noting that the traditional "castle and moat" security model has become obsolete in today's interconnected business environment. He describes how Business Email Compromise attacks frequently move laterally across supply chains, with compromised trusted partners becoming vectors for invoice fraud and malware distribution. The conversation also touches on the emerging role of AI in creating more convincing phishing campaigns and voice synthesis attacks.

Drawing on decades of experience, Chris offers this compelling perspective on security investment: "In my career, I have yet to find an organization who under-invested in cybersecurity and was thankful that they did later." With data breach costs averaging $4.5 million globally and $9 million in the United States, the economic argument for proactive security becomes increasingly clear. Don't miss this eye-opening discussion on the frontlines of cybersecurity defense.

Chris Pogue: Digital Forensics in the Modern Threat Landscape

Welcome to the Identity Theft Resource Center's (ITRC’s) Weekly Breach Breakdown for June 13, 2025. I'm Alex Achten, Senior Director of Communications & Media Relations of the ITRC. Thanks to Sentilink for supporting the ITRC and this podcast. Each week, we look at the most recent events and trends related to data security and privacy. Today, we will examine a data event that has dominated the headlines for the last two weeks, its implications for consumers and why it highlights the importance of passkey adoption.  

You’ve probably heard the phrase “the future is now.” There is a debate over the origin of this term. Some say it was from the back cover of Alvin Toffler’s 1970 book “Future Shock.” Some think its origins may be older, stretching back to a speech given by Robert F. Kennedy in 1966 or a similar phrase from Sir Austen Chamberlain in 1936. Regardless of who coined the phrase, it is relevant to our conversation today, as it pertains to findings recently discovered by cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler.

The Weekly Breach Breakdown Podcast by ITRC: The Future is Now - S6E18

Welcome back to the Identity Theft Resource Center’s (ITRC) Weekly Breach Breakdown, supported by Sentilink. I’m James E. Lee, the ITRC’s President, and this is the episode for June 20, 2025. Happy first day of summer! Each week, we take a look at the latest news and trends related to data security and privacy. This week, we’re going to talk about a heads-up being issued by cyber threat researchers. However, we’re going to swerve into the rapidly changing cybersecurity policy landscape and ransomware group Scattered Spider – just for fun.

If you ask an artificial intelligence bot how many people in the U.S. are afraid of spiders, it will tell you that up to 50 million people suffer from arachnophobia. I’m not one of them, but I’m close. With that said, not all scary spiders are of the 8-legged freak.

Welcome back to the Identity Theft Resource Center’s (ITRC) Weekly Breach Breakdown, supported by Sentilink. I’m James E. Lee, the ITRC’s President, and this is the episode for July 18, 2025. Each week, we take a look at the latest news and trends related to data security and privacy. This week, the ITRC released our H1 2025 Data Breach Analysis that looks at what happened in the first six months of 2025 when it comes to U.S. data compromises. Let’s talk about the trends, but first, some housekeeping with some numbers: 

A total of 1,732 data compromises were reported in the first half of 2025, resulting in a little more than 165.7 million breach notices. That’s about five percent ahead of where we were at this time last year in terms of compromises. It’s also more reported compromises than at the halfway point in 2023, when we set the current high-water mark for data compromises.

Dr. Rick Goud brings a unique perspective to the data sovereignty conversation, combining medical informatics expertise with entrepreneurial technology innovation. As co-founder and Chief Innovation Officer of Zivver, a secure digital communications platform acquired by Kiteworks in 2024, Goud's journey began with an unexpected twist – missing out on medical school in the Netherlands' lottery system led him to medical informatics, where he discovered his passion for solving healthcare's data security challenges. His background as a strategy consultant in healthcare, where he witnessed firsthand the alarming frequency of sensitive patient data being shared through insecure channels, sparked his mission to create solutions that balance robust security with user-friendly functionality.

The podcast reveals a fundamental tension in European data sovereignty: While Europe boasts the world's strongest data protection laws like GDPR and the upcoming EU Data Act, organizations remain heavily dependent on foreign cloud infrastructure. Goud explains that the challenge extends beyond mere infrastructure – it's the absence of true European alternatives for essential software services that creates vulnerability. He highlights recent incidents, including a French Microsoft executive's court admission that Microsoft cannot prevent U.S. government access to data without customer notification, and the shocking case of a Dutch criminal court judge whose email was blocked by Microsoft at the behest of American authorities. These examples underscore how data sovereignty encompasses not just data protection, but also continuity of service and freedom from foreign interference.

When addressing the economic realities of data sovereignty, Goud advocates for a pragmatic, risk-based approach rather than wholesale abandonment of U.S. cloud services. He emphasizes that organizations should start by identifying their specific risks – whether it's human error (the leading cause of data breaches), email interception, weak passwords, or phishing attacks. The solution often lies in implementing encryption layers where organizations maintain control of their own keys, effectively rendering data unreadable even if accessed by unauthorized parties. This approach allows organizations to continue using familiar tools like Microsoft 365 and Gmail while adding crucial security layers for sensitive information, avoiding the massive costs and behavioral changes required by complete infrastructure migration.

The conversation concludes with practical advice for organizations beginning their data sovereignty journey. Goud recommends starting with "low-hanging fruit" – simple security measures that can be implemented quickly, such as activating DANE (DNS-based Authentication of Named Entities) for email encryption, which despite being available for a decade, sees adoption rates of only 15% to 20%. He stresses the importance of email and file security as the primary risk points where data leaves organizational boundaries. Rather than embarking on multi-year infrastructure overhauls, organizations should focus on immediate, achievable improvements while building partnerships with trusted vendors and peer organizations facing similar challenges. This collaborative approach ensures organizations aren't navigating the complex data sovereignty landscape alone.
