Dr. Dave Chatterjee
About this episode

In this episode, Shrav Mehta, Founder, and CEO at Secureframe, joins me to discuss major cybersecurity incidents in 2024, highlighting five significant breaches: National Public Data (2.7 billion records), AT&T (50 billion), Ticketmaster (500 million), Change Healthcare (145 million), and Dell (49 million). We emphasize the importance of proactive measures, such as data minimization, continuous training, and zero-trust models. I stressed the need for leadership engagement, robust incident response plans, and a holistic approach to security. Shrav underscores the role of automation and continuous monitoring in enhancing protection. We both agreed on the necessity of evolving security practices to counter emerging threats like deepfakes and AI-enabled attacks.
