Cybercrime Magazine Podcast

Only 25 percent of global cybersecurity workers identifies as a woman, according to data from Cybersecurity Ventures. CIO Africa reports that in Hollywood films, cultural depictions of cybercriminals and the cybersecurity experts who protect against their attacks tend to exclude women. The book "Hacker's Movie Guide: The Complete List of Hacker and Cybersecurity Movies" contains hundreds of flicks from 1954 to present, and many of the movies feature female hackers, including Acid Burn aka Kate Libby, played by Angelina Jolie, in "Hackers", the popular 1995 crime thriller. In this episode, host Paul John Spaulding is joined by Steve Morgan, Founder of Cybersecurity Ventures and Editor-in-Chief at Cybercrime Magazine, to discuss. The Cybercrime Magazine Update airs weekly and covers the latest news, interviews, podcasts, reports, videos, and special productions from Cybercrime Magazine, published by Cybersecurity Ventures.
