About this listen

 If it were a country, cybercrime would be the third largest economy in the world behind the United States and China. Best estimates suggest cybercrime will cost $10.5 trillion globally on an annual basis by the year 2025. In fact, AT and T says that represents the greatest transfer of economic wealth in history.
So, what do we do? How do you do business? How does a government function? How do you safeguard your investments in the face of that historic threat?
This Story Studio Network podcast series, ponders those questions and explores the solutions to harden. Cybersecurity. Welcome to 1:CLICK 2:CYBER CHAOS.
It's not a matter of if, but when your data will be breached. It is hospitals that are being attacked. It is financial institutions. It is governments. It's everyone, including individuals.
When you look at things like connected cities and connected cars and connected devices, they are all entry points for “the bad guys” to get into your networks. Combatting cybercrime is becoming all the more challenging. There's a shortfall of 3 million jobs globally. That’s good news for those who are pursuing a career in cyber security. We believe this podcast will be an eye-opener. Put an ear on it.

  • Hacktivists: A Formidable Force in the Israeli-Hamas Conflict

    Hacktivists: A Formidable Force in the Israeli-Hamas Conflict
    Oct 25 2023
    I’m Kym Geddes, and in this episode of 1Click2CyberChaos, Jeff Musson and I examine the Israeli-Hamas conflict through a cyber security lens with the esteemed Bob Gordon, a strategic advisor with the Canadian Cyber Threat Exchange and a former CSIS agent.

    We delve into the new dimension of this conflict brought about by low-level hacks and highlight concerns that Hamas-affiliated hackers might escalate the dispute into full-fledged cyber warfare. With today's technology, distinguishing fact from fiction has become increasingly challenging, and hacktivists are piling on, facilitating, enabling, and pushing their cause. We wrap up the episode by taking stock. It’s been four years since Canada created the Centre for Cyber Security. How secure is the nation now? You may be encouraged by Bob Gordon’s assessment.

  • COBOL: Unearthing the Legacy Language That Powers the World’s Money

    COBOL: Unearthing the Legacy Language That Powers the World’s Money
    Oct 11 2023
    What if there were no coders left who knew how to keep your banking services running? Or your mortgage safe?

    That’s where we are with COBOL. It is a six-decades-old computer programming language with too few coders left to run it. A challenge that has remained largely invisible to the public.

    Why have we allowed this antiquated banking system to persist despite our willingness to embrace innovation? What are the cyber security and economic risks associated with COBOL transformation initiatives?

    I’m your host, Kym Geddes, and in this episode of 1Click2CyberChaos, we investigate the problem and discover modern-day solutions that may save us and our money from Armageddon. Our guests include two former COBOL coders, Michael Cody and Steve Steuart, and New York Times tech journalist Clive Thompson.

  • Emerging Trends: The Impact of Cybersecurity and Future Tech

    Emerging Trends: The Impact of Cybersecurity and Future Tech
    Sep 27 2023
    The integration of artificial intelligence in various industries has brought about significant benefits. However, this technological advancement has also raised several moral and ethical concerns, particularly cyber security.

    How do we deal with this? Where do we start?

    Microsoft CEO Brad Smith suggests coders should be required to take a Hippocratic oath like that of doctors, to only code for good.

    What about global conflicts?

    Does a new Geneva Convention need to be established to safeguard critical infrastructure from cyberattacks?

    I'm your host, Kym Geddes. In this episode of 1Click2CyberChaos, Jeff Musson and I explore the emerging technological trends predicted in the next 10 years and unpack the cyber attack vulnerabilities that will result.

    Our guests include Robert Gordon, Strategic Advisor with Canada's Cyber threat exchange, and David Shipley, the CEO and founder of Beauceron Security, a cyber risk assessment firm based in New Brunswick.
