Coffee and Cyber Security

Show Notes

In this episode, I've invited Benjamin Pomerleau to talk about phishing! He's our product owner of our service: Phishing Training.

This means, he's getting paid to phish our customers and teach them how to spot them, which makes him perfect to talk about phishing.

Benjamin talks about why technical solutions are not enough despite spam filters, two-factor and anti-virus systems probably can guard you against 99,9999% of all attacks. He talks about how creating a general interest in social engineering might be the way to go. He talks about why phishing-reporting and helping each other is key.

And much more.

So tune in, and I hope you enjoy it. And remember to subscribe if you don't want to miss another episode!
