30+ years on the front line of cybersecurity. SANS Top Summit Talk of 2024. Author of You're Already a Target, out November 3. Corey makes AI scams, deepfakes and cyber risk easy for any listener to follow, and every episode ends with steps they can take that day.
Each one works as a 30 to 60 minute conversation, audio or video. Corey tells real stories from the front line, and listeners leave with something they can do that day.
AI didn't invent new crimes. It took away the cost and skill needed to commit them, so every family and small business is now worth targeting.
The book maps 263 ways attackers get into a home or a small business. Nobody tackles all 263 at once. Corey walks through the few that matter most and how to prove each one is closed.
Three seconds of audio is enough to clone a voice. Corey explains how the fake call, the fake invoice and the fake boss actually work.
The first call on Operation Aurora, the Sony PlayStation Network response, helping the government recover from the OPM breach, then founding, scaling and selling Cyvatar.
Data stolen today can be read tomorrow. Corey explains quantum computing and what it means for encryption in plain English.
How leading with honesty and care shaped every company Corey has built, and why trust is the real security control.
Corey the futurist: AI agents, deepfakes, quantum computing and whatever comes next. What the next ten years look like for families, workers and small businesses, and how to stay ahead of it instead of reacting to it.
Phishing is still the way most attacks begin. Corey plays the game he ran live at the Mastercard Small Business Summit: real messages, and the listener decides if each one is a phish or legit. Individuals, micro businesses, solopreneurs and influencers are the new targets, and the easiest ones.
Use them as written, mix them up, or go off script. Corey is comfortable either way.
Corey's new book is the practical, no-jargon guide to protecting a family or a small business from identity theft, fraud, deepfakes and the threats hiding in plain sight. Written for real people, not IT departments.
Reads cleanly out loud, word for word.
My guest today started in cybersecurity on August 24, 1995, the day Windows 95 came out. He has led the response to some of the biggest breaches of the internet era, including the Sony PlayStation Network breach, and he founded, scaled and sold the security company Cyvatar. Today he is the founder and CEO of Cythentic and the author of the new book You're Already a Target. Corey White, welcome to the show.
My guest today has spent three decades on the front line of cybersecurity. He took the first call on Operation Aurora, the attacks on Google. He led the response to the Sony PlayStation Network breach, and he helped the U.S. government recover from the OPM breach.
He served as SVP of Worldwide Consulting and Chief Experience Officer at Cylance, then founded, scaled and sold Cyvatar, a managed security company with zero reported major customer breaches across seven years. His SANS talk on AI-based threats was named a Top Summit Talk of 2024.
Today he runs Cythentic, which protects small businesses and families, and his new book, You're Already a Target, shows anyone how to close the doors attackers use. Corey White, welcome to the show.
