Episode 74 - Let's Talk Advanced Email Security
Show Notes

In this episode I have a 1 on 1 conversation with the one and only Brian 'Schneebs' Schneble about Advanced Email Security. Brian is a Senior Enterprise Account Executive for Abnormal Security. Brian is not only an active member of the Michigan cybersecurity community but he has extensive knowledge of the automotive industry.

Talking Points:

In a break from the traditional talking points, for this episode we break down a real world use case where a company was hit by a very creative 'double whammy'. Both a compromised email account and a look-a-like domain were used in this attack.

Brian and I walk through what happened, how it could happen and how you can do things to avoid this in your company.

  • Compromised Email Accounts
  • How Malicious Actors 'Learn' Your Workflows
  • Look Alike Domains
  • Defensive Domains
  • DMARC

This was a highly informative episode and don't mind the state of security talk about the beginning.  Listen/View the whole episode, as it will definitely be worth spending your time on!
