Cybersecurity Under Siege: From Microsoft Fix Confusion to Hacker Breaches at IKEA, and IBM

In this eye-opening episode of SecureTalk, host Justin Beals welcomes Bryant Tow, Chief Security Officer at LeapFrog Services, to discuss why technology alone can't solve cybersecurity challenges. Bryant reveals how the "Ring of Security" concept shows that up to half of your attack surface lies outside of technology—in governance, policies, people, and processes. The conversation explores real-world examples like the Change Healthcare breach, why security frameworks often fall short, and how building a culture of security requires connecting protection of company assets to personal security concerns.

Key Topics

The Change Healthcare breach: How a single oversight led to a $2.9 billion loss despite substantial technology investments

Why frameworks like CIS are great starting points but insufficient on their own
How the "Ring of Security" approach addresses the complete attack surface

Building a security culture that resonates with employees on a personal level

Why a business impact analysis is critical but often missing from frameworks

The importance of understanding your data before implementing AI solutions
