Welcome to "AI or Not," the podcast where we explore the intersection of digital transformation and real-world wisdom, hosted by the accomplished Pamela Isom. With over 25 years of experience guiding leaders in corporate, public, and private sectors, Pamela, the CEO and Founder of IsAdvice & Consulting LLC, is a veteran in successfully navigating the complex realms of artificial intelligence, innovation, cyber issues, governance, data management, and ethical decision-making.
Andy Jenkinson, CEO of CyberSec Innovation Partners and cybersecurity expert, doesn't mince words as he exposes how our entire digital infrastructure stands vulnerable despite decades of warnings. "We are fighting organized cybercrime with disorganized cybersecurity," he states, pointing to the disturbing reality that basic internet protocols like DNS (Domain Name System) remain largely unsecured by even the largest organizations.
Through shocking real-world examples, Jenkinson reveals how seemingly "sophisticated attacks" are often just exploitations of fundamental security failings. These breaches stem from basic negligence rather than advanced hacking techniques.
Particularly troubling is the organizational resistance to addressing these vulnerabilities. Jenkinson describes a culture of willful ignorance that prioritizes deniability over actual protection. Meanwhile, cybercrime costs have skyrocketed to roughly four times the annual budget of the Department of Defense.
For both individuals and businesses, the path forward requires returning to fundamentals. While personal safety measures like covering webcams and being suspicious of unsolicited contacts are important, true security demands organizational accountability. "If you don't know what your internet assets are and what your servers are doing, you have no way of protecting them," Jenkinson warns.
