ello and welcome

On the cover this month , we have Killian Faughnan , Group CISO at William Hill . We hear how the bookmaker operates with a robust cybersecurity strategy , as well as gaining insight into Faughnan ’ s role at the company and some of the driving factors behind its ambition to continuously strengthen its cybersecurity posture .

This issue , in our ‘ Cybertrends ’ feature , we take a look at some of the trends that have developed as a result of the Coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) pandemic . A recent McAfee report shows the threat actor evolution and how cybercriminals have exploited the pandemic and caused detrimental harm to businesses for personal gain . Raj Samani , McAfee Fellow and Chief Scientist , discusses the findings .

For our ‘ Editor ’ s Question ’ on page 27 , we asked the experts what the major cyberthreats are to the North America region as enterprises face the chilling reality that being attacked is no longer a case of ‘ if ’ but ‘ when ’. Don Boxley , CEO and Co-Founder of DH2i ; Linus Chang , Founder and CEO of BackupAssist ; and Michael Jack , VP Global Sales and Co- Founder , Datadobi , share their thoughts .

Also this month , we turn our attention to email security as we explore how

businesses are facing huge financial losses as a result of social engineering attacks , such as Business Email Compromise and Email Account Compromise . Adenike Cosgrove , Director , International Product Marketing at Proofpoint , tells us how organisations can use technology and training in tandem to prevent these types of attacks , enabling a true people-centric security model .

We also explore another type of attack approach in our ‘ Business Surveillance ’ feature on page 62 , as Ryan Trost , CTO and Co-Founder of ThreatQuotient , tells us that a spike in cloud attacks shows businesses were not prepared to work from home .

To round off , we ‘ Go Phish ’ with Richard Cassidy , Senior Director of Security Strategy , Exabeam , who tells us about his career in cybersecurity and his most memorable achievement in the industry .

I hope you enjoy the read and if you ’ d like to contribute to any upcoming publications , please don ’ t hesitate to get in touch at alix @ lynchpinmedia . co . uk
