What does the business cybersecurity landscape look like today? Were you to believe Hollywood, it looks like a pimply-faced teen hacker working from a dark basement for a stylish but likeable band of thieves. The realities are far more sinister – involving sophisticated cyber espionage rings backed by nation states using surveillance capitalism, ransomware, and zero-click attacks on financial markets, critical infrastructure, and military defense systems. For companies navigating this, there are additional, significant challenges: namely, underdeveloped (but overhyped) security software, a pervasive talent shortage, and exorbitant costs. And then there are those colleagues who just can’t stop clicking on – innocent-appearing but anything-but – cat pictures … In episode #15 of Campus 10178, the ESMT Berlin podcast, we speak with Marc Goodman of the Future Crimes Institute and Sandro Gaycken of the Digital Society Institute at ESMT Berlin about how businesses manage (and mismanage) the threats, traps, and realities of cybercrime. The two speak frankly about the big lies of the cybersecurity marketplace, debate cyber defense strategies, lament the state of talent recruiting, and detail the high costs of securing our digital lives.

Snake oil and cat pics – the (sad) state of business cybersecurity

Much has been documented about the role of sexism and racism in reducing opportunities for women and people of color in the corporate world – whether in hiring, compensation, or in advancement to the C-suite and board-level positions or, in the entrepreneurial space, in access to project investments. But, as the song goes, “sisters are doin’ it for themselves” to create and share opportunities in the workforce. Born in Nigeria and raised in the US, Deborah Choi has been a successful serial entrepreneur for years. With her first startup – launched while she was finishing her degree at the University of Chicago – Deborah landed on Bloomberg BusinessWeek’s top “25 under 25” list. Now living in Berlin, Deborah is the managing director and co-founder of Bosque, a tech-enabled, direct-to-consumer plant startup. In episode #14 of Campus 10178, the ESMT Berlin podcast, Deborah speaks about the critical role of mentorship, networks, and investment for female founders and women of color in entrepreneurship.

We hear a lot about “disruption” these days, especially as technology like AI and machine learning transforms traditional sectors like manufacturing.

In an online meeting earlier this year, a high-level executive at KPMG UK said employees should “stop moaning” about the pandemic and dismissed staff fears about proposed salary and pension cuts as “playing the victim.” Although he later apologized to his team for his choice of words, the leaked video of his comments prompted a public outcry and lead to his resignation from the company.
