Yaniv Balmas - Cyber Crime and Digital Espionageby MTF Labs | MTF Podcasthttps://musictechfest.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/podcast/113-yaniv-balmas.mp3Yaniv Balmas is head of Cyber Research at Check Point Software in Tel Aviv. He's a security researcher, software developer, and a technology enthusiast with over a decade in the industry. His approach to keeping yourself and your computer free from attack is as much philosophical as it is technical. Cyber security may well be one of the most challenging domains in our day and age. With infinite complexity, ever changing technological landscape and thousands of new vulnerabilities found every month, protecting your network and ensuring a 100% risk free environment is nearly an impossible task..@ynvb on TwitterDownload episode← Previous episodeNext episode →TranscriptDubber Hi, I’m Andrew Dubber. I’m Director of MTF Labs, and this is the MTF Podcast. So given that you’re listening to a podcast right now, it’s a fairly safe bet that you have a computer or a smartphone and it’s connected to the internet, which means that it and you and perhaps everyone you’ve ever sent an email to is in some sort of twenty-first-century peril right now.Enter the cybersecurity specialist, coding furiously against time to take down the criminal underworld, foreign agents, malware and spyware, and lock out the hackers and the bots. The hunter becomes the hunted, and so on. In fact, according to actual cybersecurity expert Yaniv Balmas, there are actually some pretty simple things you can do yourself, or stop doing, as the case may be. And there are some things you might not actually be in a position to do anything about at all, but, well, chances are, you’re not as interesting a target as you might think. Here’s hoping, at any rate.But given that we live in a world where everything is so very digital and so very connected, from our conversations to our thermostats, our politics to our pop music, I thought I’d have a chat with Yaniv – he’s Head of Cyber Research at Check Point – to talk about what’s going on in the world of cyber and see what I can do to avoid a catastrophic network breach or some such.Dubber Yaniv Balmas, thanks so much for joining us for the MTF Podcast. Can I ask where we find you today, where you are right now, or would that give too much away?Yaniv Well, I’m at home, like most of the other people around the globe.Dubber Yeah. And where is home on the globe?Yaniv Well, I live just outside of Tel Aviv in Israel.Dubber And you’re in cybersecurity. Is Tel Aviv a good place to be doing cybersecurity?Yaniv Well, Israel has been called a cyber nation. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but, yes, there is a lot of cyber business going on in Tel Aviv and all around me here.Dubber All right. So we should probably just get to the very, very basics. What is cybersecurity?Yaniv When I started this career, there wasn’t such a term, ‘cybersecurity’, actually. It was ‘security engineering’, maybe, or ‘information security’. So cyber, for me, is just a big, new name for something. And, technically, what we’re talking about is we’re talking about mistakes. Human mistakes, usually.So we have software running. We have hardware running. We have all of these mechanics and all of these electronics going on. They should theoretically be perfect and do exactly what they’re supposed to do and absolutely nothing else, but, unfortunately, or fortunately – it depends who you ask – that’s…Dubber It depends on whether you make your living out of cybersecurity or not.Yaniv Yeah, exactly. Usually, it doesn’t work that way. There are bugs. There are errors in there. Some of them are just bugs and errors. Some of them might be much worse than that, and they could lead to a lot of security issues, and I guess that’s the core of cybersecurity. That’s where it all starts.Dubber Because what I imagine when I hear ‘cybersecurity’ is that there are lots of, for want of a better term, baddies in the world who are trying to break things, steal things, blow things up, make people’s lives miserable, and you’re the last line of defence, frantically typing like a hacker in a movie onto a screen to stop them from getting in. Is it anything like that? Is anything of that true?Yaniv Well, I always think – about this typing like a hacker in a movie – that if someone would ever make a film on me while I’m working, it would be the most boring film in the world. It really doesn’t look that way in reality.Are we the last line of defence? I don’t know. There’s a pretty large community. Some of it is by vendors. Some of it by individuals. Some is mixed. And there’s a lot of work being done on the defensive side of cybersecurity around the world. I don’t ...
