During China’s pseudo-cyber-hiatus, the PRC’s hacking operations get a major overhaul. CCP leadership moves responsibility away from the sloppy, brazen hackers at the People’s Liberation Army to the far more stealthy, and strategic, Ministry of State Security. Gone are the “most polite” hackers in the digital world. Here to stay are the gunslingers – the elite of the elite in their field. In Episode 6, host and former New York Times cybersecurity reporter, Nicole Perlroth lays out what it looked like as China’s hackers went underground… and what we missed in Eastern Europe as they did.

For small organizations with limited resources, cybersecurity expert Pavlina Pavlova shares a powerful strategy: collect less data. Minimize what you gather in the first place instead of struggling to protect excessive information you don't actually need.

When healthcare systems are compromised by cyberattacks, women face disproportionate consequences. As primary caregivers and users of reproductive health services, they suffer more when these critical systems fail, explains researcher Pavlina Pavlova.

Attackers just need to succeed once to get your data. As defenders, we need to get it right 100% of the time. That’s why prevention is no longer enough. Let’s build a proactive strategy for securing your data wherever it lives! Subscribe to our channel to learn more about how Rubrik can help.

Cybersecurity expert Pavlina Pavlova reveals that healthcare breaches aren't happening because of sophisticated attacks, but due to basic security failures like missing multi-factor authentication, delayed patching, and phishing vulnerabilities.

Welcome to the Data Security Decoded podcast by Rubrik Zero Labs. In this episode, our host Caleb Tolin speaks with Pavlina Pavlova, a researcher and cybersecurity advocate focusing on data weaponization and its disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations. Pavlina defines data weaponization as using data to manipulate, deceive, coerce, or attack someone to inflict harm. Her research investigates why cyber attacks and their impacts often have gendered dimensions, with certain populations experiencing more severe consequences.

Every U.S. administration, dating back to President H.W. Bush has struggled to address the threat of Chinese trade theft. But a growing sense of urgency kicks in as American businesses start hemorrhaging trade secrets and entire product lines start vanishing to Chinese copycats. Just as the Obama Administration is set to do something about it, Edward Snowden shifts the narrative back onto the United States.

Highlighting real-world examples of civilian cyber engagement, from the Ransomware Hunting Team developing decryptors to organizational models like Cyber Peace Builders that connect volunteers with nonprofits needing cybersecurity assistance.

As Chinese hackers continue their raid of American companies, the threat reaches new levels of urgency, not so much for the sophistication of these hackers, but because of the sheer volume of attacks. And yet, victims continue to keep their breaches under wraps, and the government is hamstrung in what they can say because most everything they know about Chinese cyberespionage is classified.

Welcome to the Data Security Decoded podcast by Rubrik Zero Labs. In this episode, our host, Caleb Tolin, is joined by Michael Razeeq, a cybersecurity policy researcher specializing in advocating for Civilian Cyber Corps (C3s). Michael shares insights into how these volunteer forces, C3s, are transforming community cyber defense, addressing workforce shortages, and providing both preventive and reactive cybersecurity services to underfunded organizations.
