COVID fraud warnings, the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre's suspicious email reporting service,  Dubai’s police deal with COVID fraud, Microsoft tracks ransomware groups, a fake FBI special agent starts dating, porn blackmail, counter-drone tech, and the Metropolitan Police force’s virtual police academy highlight our law enforcement round-up followed by a conversation with retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Scott Augenbaum the author of The Secret to Cybersecurity: A Simple Plan to Protect Your Family and Business from Cybercrime.  As a generous nod to our listeners, Scott will send you a personal copy of his book if you are one of the first five to send him an email: Information Assured Podcast as the title (email available address on the show website).

Scott and I discuss 

• Scott’s career at the FBI
• The story of his book
• Fraud
• Personal Protection
• Corporate Protections
• Nation-States and our Economy

Scott reveals his four truths of cybersecurity during our conversation, and he delivers with an energy and enthusiasm I think you’ll appreciate.  I’ve had the pleasure of working with Scott for many years, and he was indirectly responsible for my training and professional experiences with ENCASE and FTK through a regional ICAC team in Tennessee.
