IoT Security Podcast

DJ Goldsworthy, Vice President of Security Operations and Threat Management at Aflac, joins the podcast for episode number 1. Brian and John dig into DJ’s background in cybersecurity research and development, and his current role at Aflac where he oversees 8 teams. He’s a leader, but he’s really hands on, keeping his technical edge.

How do you make sure the right areas of a team this expansive gets the right support? The right funding? They soon dig into the current threat-scape and trends in cybersecurity, particularly in terms of the increase in commoditized threats. These are no longer poorly written emails with a couple of links, but cybercrime as a service.

Cybercriminals are also selling access to xIoT devices, which includes IoT, OT, and Network devices, after having gained persistence in a network.

What is IoT Security Podcast?

The IoT Security Podcast explores the Security of Things. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a giant network of over 50 billion connected devices, and it’s transforming the way we live and work. But a breakdown in security will prevent this IoT transformation. Join John Vecchi as he speaks with the biggest names and the biggest brains in cybersecurity, including CISOs, analysts, security researchers, and other industry thought leaders, to give you the information you need to navigate security and threats in an increasingly Thing-based world.
