S03E130 Cybersecurity and Preparedness with Jason G. Weiss

Описание: Cyber threats don’t wait for anyone, and neither should we. I’m joined by Jason Weiss, former FBI agent who built and led one of the Bureau’s top digital forensics labs and now a partner advising on incident response, data privacy, and cybersecurity frameworks, to unpack the moves that keep firms and businesses safe when the clock is ticking.

We dig into the two fastest-growing risks: business email compromise that hijacks trust to divert funds, and modern ransomware that pairs encryption with double and triple extortion. Jason explains how AI has erased the old “bad grammar” tell, why social engineering should be the default assumption, and the simple verification habits that stop costly fraud. From independent call-backs to domain checks and link hygiene, the tools are straightforward, if your team knows and practices them.

Then we get tactical. Jason lays out the first-hour playbook: isolate affected systems to halt lateral movement, call counsel and your insurer to secure privilege and resources, and bring in a forensics team to scope, remediate, and guide notifications. We talk backups that actually save the day, immutable or segmented, verified daily, and the risks of restoring into the same vulnerable configuration. We also cover the frameworks that bring order to chaos: NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, and SOC 2, plus the incident response, disaster recovery, and business continuity plans that must be exercised, not shelved.

The biggest lever? People. Quarterly micro-training, phishing simulations, and a culture of “trust less, verify more” beat shiny tools every time. Jason shares why law enforcement helps but can’t be your only plan, especially with overseas actors, and how proactive testing and gap analysis cost far less than a real breach.
