Should We Fear the IOT?

This is a legacy episode that made its way on to our youtube channel but never made it on here! Originally puiblished on Sep 5, 2022. Everything is on the internet these days. If it has electricity, it most likely has internet access. With billions of devices dedicated to providing convenience for consumers, it's no wonder how many fall victim to hackers. By opening our homes and businesses to the internet, we also offer a large enough attack surface that hackers can use just about anything as a pivot point for more extensive hacks. Should we be more cautious in our use of IoT devices? Should we really be this afraid? In this episode of the Cyber Guys podcast, we look at the risks associated with utilizing IoT devices. #cybersecurity #infosec #iot #smarthouse

Hollywood Doesn't Know How to Cyber

Movies tend to depict computers as magical mcguffins, capable of solving any problem. Many movies and tv shows show hacking as this overly dramatic smashing of keyboards with the added visual of a streamlined and professional user interface. It’s not incorrect to say that Hollywood has taken some liberties in an effort to entertain. From fancy blinking lights to diffusing bombs with excel, Hollywood sure knows how to make cyber look really, really silly. In today’s episode, the Cyber Guys, with special guest Michael Phillips, take a look at some of Hollywood's more absurd and ridiculous scenes of hacking, cybersecurity, and computer technology.

Can Cybersecurity Jobs Be Entry-Level?

Cybersecurity jobs far outweigh the candidates to fill them, and it’s a lucrative field to get into. Who wouldn’t want to walk into a position that starts at six figures? These days it seems like anyone can get an entry-level cybersecurity job. But is the industry going in the wrong direction? Should entry-level positions require more skill and expertise? Should Cybersecurity jobs be entry-level positions at all? In this week’s episode, the Cyber Guys debate which jobs in cybersecurity should and should not be entry-level and what the future of the infosec job landscape looks like.

Is Skynet Gonna Take Our Jobs

So is AI really going to replace Cybersecurity Experts? A Trend Micro Survey conducted last year found that 41% of IT Leaders believe that AI will replace humans in cybersecurity by 2030.

In this episode, the Cyber Guys discuss how AI already impacts the Cybersecurity industry, where it may be heading, and how worried Cybersecurity Experts should be about being replaced.
