In this Soap Box podcast Patrick Gray talks to Material Security’s CEO and co-founder Abhishek Agrawal about the security problems inherent to modern productivity suites.

Does it make sense that threat actors can authenticate to o365 and Workspace accounts and clean them out entirely? Years of mail, years of files?

Material Security has built a product that tackles this issue. It can lock up email archives behind MFA challenges, redact PII from inboxes, better control files share via Google Drive and OneDrive, and just generally limit the damage a threat actor can inflict when they compromise a cloud productivity account.

Even if you’re not interested in buying a product to tackle this, we think this one is a great listen.

In this podcast Adam Boileau and Tom Uren talk about two very significant cyber incidents. In the first, LockBit attacked the US arm of China’s biggest bank and the disruption left the bank owing USD$9bn at the end of the day. The other disrupted 40% of Australia’s port traffic.

They also examine the reasons why it makes sense for banks to do more regarding fraud.
