Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 34 Why Scam Prevention Is a Cyber Problem with Iain Russell
Q: Can you give a concrete example of how this threat prevention work is applied in practice?
A typical use case involves detecting patterns across data sources, applying machine learning, and then removing access to the fraudulent domain or platform, either by working with registrars, hosting providers, or by disrupting social media and app stores where scams operate.
Ep. 34 Why Scam Prevention Is a Cyber Problem with Iain Russell
Q: Did you want to maybe explain a bit what threat prevention is and how you got there?
Threat prevention started as scam prevention, aiming to protect our customers' customers from scams. As threats evolved with AI and broader attack surfaces, the approach broadened to target the scams themselves and disrupt the perpetrators by removing fraudulent domains, apps, and social footprints.
Ep. 33 Why The Same 3% of People Keep Getting Phished with Dr Matthew Canham
Q: Would you briefly introduce yourself and your background?
Dr. Matt Canham explains his path from cognitive neuroscience and human-computer interaction to cybercrime investigation, academia, and eventually leading the Cognitive Security Institute, focusing on high-risk users and human factors.
Ep. 31 When AI Therapy Works (And When It Doesn't) with Dr Rachel Wood
Q: What are the harms or risks of using AI for mental health support?
AI can unintentionally reinforce stigma, provide inappropriate or non-clinically-grounded guidance, and reduce people's motivation to seek human help if used as a replacement. The guest stresses the need for specialized, clinically supervised, purpose-built models with guardrails and the importance of maintaining human oversight.
Ep. 20 Tackling Cybersecurity and Global Threats with James Corera
Q: What does sovereignty mean in practice for defense, data, and technology policy?
Sovereignty is evolving from a nation-state concept to a data-control and regional partnership issue; it involves dialogue on data localization and coordinated responses with partners while balancing openness and security.
