Hello, cyber rebels! Ever wondered what lightsabers, the Force, and intergalactic battles have in common with the world of cybersecurity? Welcome to a special episode of the Discarded Podcast. Join host Selena and co-host Greg Lesnewich, Senior Threat Researcher at Proofpoint, along with our guest, Eric Geller, cybersecurity reporter and host of the Hoth Takes Star Wars podcast, as they dive into the fascinating intersection of Star Wars and cybersecurity. He reveals how the tactics and strategies from a galaxy far, far away can be applied to modern-day digital defense.
Greg and Eric share their love for Star Wars while drawing parallels between iconic moments from the saga and modern cybersecurity practices. Ever wondered how the Rebels' infiltration of the Death Star reflects real-world hacking techniques? Or how the Empire's security flaws could be lessons for today's digital defenses? We've got you covered. They highlight how living off the land techniques, identity protection failures, and internal security oversights in the Star Wars universe can teach us valuable lessons for defending against cyber threats.
From red teaming with Han and Chewbacca to intelligence analysis with Princess Leia, and even hardware hacking with Babu Frik, we cover a broad spectrum of cyber roles through the lens of Star Wars. We also delve into who would make the best CISO in the Star Wars universe, with some surprising nominations and entertaining analogies.
Whether you're a Star Wars enthusiast or a cybersecurity professional, this episode provides a unique and entertaining perspective on the skills and strategies essential for both realms. Tune in for a fun and insightful conversation that bridges the gap between fiction and reality in the most engaging way possible.
