The CyBUr Guy Podcast

In this episode of The CyBUr Guy Podcast I'm joined by Air Force Colonel and fellow Northern NY native Martha Monroe to discuss the future of cyber threats, how the Department of Defense is dealing with these threats, how she got to her current position and some High School memories.  If you have topics for future episodes you'd like to hear discussed or questions I can answer, please email me at darren@thecyburguy.com.  Tell your friends.

In this episode I discuss the FBI's Outreach program with the former FBI Special Agent Kerry Straub. We also discuss some cases Kerry conducted during his career, including a Public Corruption case that may have only been possible in Alabama. I also discuss some weekly cyber news items, including the death of a woman due to a Ransomware attack on a Hospital.  If you have questions or comments, email me at darren@thecyburguy.com and you can get this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, and Spotify.

In this episode I interview the President of the Northern Alabama Chapter of Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS) Stacie Bohanan. Stacie and I discuss the goals of WiCyS, the future for women in the cybersecurity field, the Sarah Palin hacking case, and the FBI jobs moving to Huntsville.  For more information on WiCyS go to www.wicys.org.  If you have questions or thoughts on topics for future podcasts email me at darren@thecyburguy.com or find me at linkedin/in/darrenmott.

I take the podcast on the road and speak with Ted Levison, Senior Investigator for the Major Crimes Unit of New York State Police Troop B in Norwood, New York.  Where the heck is Norwood you ask. Well it is at the top of NY on the border with Canada (and no NOT near BUFFALO).  It is not the end of the world but you can see it from there.  Ted and I discuss the difficulties in investigating and prosecuting cybercrime and other cyber matters in small rural areas like St. Lawrence County.  Though really the issues we discuss are likely found everywhere.  Email me with questions for future podcasts at darren@thecyburguy.com or find me on www.linkedin.com/in/darrenmott.

In this episode I discuss how to protect some of the most vulnerable among us, our seniors, from cyber scams.  If you have questions about this, or any of my podcasts, or have thoughts on future episodes, email me at darren@thecyburguy.com.  Also, you can contact me at www.linkedin.com/in/darrenmott.  Resources mentioned in this episode:

In this podcast I discuss a 5 year online undercover operation from the halcyon days of the FBI's Cyber Intellectual Property Rights phase of the early 2000s. I'll discuss the case with the informant I worked with who made the case successful.  This case resulted in search warrants and arrests in over 20 US cities, and across 7 countries when it was all said and done, as was part of the largest online takedown operations in the FBI at that time. If you have questions for future podcasts, email me at darren@thecyburguy.com.

In this episode I provide a history of how the FBI evolved to address the evolving nature of the cyber threat and become the primary federal law enforcement agency investigating cyber crime and cyber national security matters.  Also a brief discussion on the cyber concerns associated with School From Home. Question, thoughts, or comments, please email me at darre@thecyburguy.com.

In this episode we talk (or rather listen) to Retired FBI Special Agent talk about his experience as an FBI Agent working cyber matters, his book The Secret to Cybersecurity, and why what most companies are doing in regards to cybersecurity doesn't seem to be working.

The inaugural episode of The CyBUR Guy Podcast. Retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Darren Mott discusses why he created this Podcast, what to expect from it, and why Tik Tok is bad.
 
He is still working out the audio kinks, so bear with the occasional microphone pops.
