Brian A. Coleman, Senior Director for Insider Risk, Information Security, and Digital Forensics at Pfizer, talks to us about how his security team is experimenting with AI to improve their insider risk detection systems. The system Brian and his team put together can detect sensitive information or documents handled by unauthorized accounts, but can also spot documents moving around and ending up where they shouldn’t be - either by accident, malice, or as a result of a security breach.

In this podcast Tom Uren and Patrick Gray talk about the likelihood that the incoming Trump administration will end the ‘dual-hat’ arrangement where a single officer leads both US Cyber Command and the National Security Agency. This would result in Cyber Command outranking NSA and could prioritise cyber disruption operations over intelligence collection. That would be a bad outcome.

They also talk about how changes to SEC disclosure rules have led to an outpouring of corporate drivel and how WhatsApp became an everything app.

This episode is also availble on Youtube.
