All right. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the party. Quick show note, let me know if you see what looks like the normal feed instead of some janky multi camera thing. I don't know. Restream has decided to. Restreams decided to give me a feature upgrade and I'm finding out about it now, so. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the party. If today is your first. Well, hold on. Welcome to the party. Today is Thursday, April 23, 2026. This is simply Cyber's daily Cyber Threat Brief podcast. I am your po, your post. I'm your host, Dr. Gerald Dozier, and we're going to be going through the top cyber news stories of the day. I'll be breaking them down, giving you those insights to help you level up and be the best practitioner you can. We're going to do it alongside Simply Cyber Community members. Just trying to get my bearings. We'll be back and ready to rock. All right. Good morning, everybody. Just trying to get my bearings. I. I don't know. I don't know if this work happens to you guys sometimes, but, you know, you get used to a certain routine. A couple variables, right? Maybe your morning commute, you know, you're dealing with different kinds of traffic, maybe there's an accident or whatever. But imagine if you will, that you, like, get on the highway to do your morning commute and all of a sudden, like, there's a detour that takes you through a small town. You're like, what the hell? Like, that's kind of what's going on here. So I'm just trying to get grounded back into the show. So enable me to do this. Good morning, everybody. I hope you're having a lovely week. Today is Thursday. Over the next hour, I'm going to go through eight stories, go beyond the headlines and provide additional insight and value that you wouldn't necessarily get just by reading the headlines yourself. I've got 20 plus years of experience and just passion for cyber security, also passion for helping everybody here level up to be the best practitioner they can. I want to be the advocate and champion of you and your dominating cyber security career. So let me do that. I do want to say, of the eight stories I literally have, I haven't even prepped the tabs yet because I was dealing with this nonsense. So I literally have no idea what we're going to be talking about today. I have no idea what I'm going to say. Ain't nobody got time for that. Ain't nobody got time for that. I'd like to say that it's part of the charm of the show. Lol. But I do have one thing that's a solid standby. A huge cup of coffee. Coffee cup. Cheers to everybody out in the chat who is starting their morning with a big cup of joe and getting after it. I know we have an international audience and perhaps maybe some of you are tipping back a couple social lubricants, celebrating the end of a hard work day. And I definitely can support you on that. If you're here for the first time, holla, holla, holla. If you're here for the first time, welcome to the party, pal. I want to say every episode's a good episode, and today with you here for the first time, is a banger. So do me a favor, let us know. It's your first episode. There's hundreds and hundreds of people here. Don't be shy. We are a supportive, inclusive, and empowering community that wants to welcome you into the circle. So drop a hashtag first timer. We can't see you unless you, you know, step into the light and let us know you're here. So hashtag first timer in the chat, and we have a special sound effect, a special emote, and you'll see a bunch of people welcoming you in addition to just me. Toasty Pop in the Kansas City connection is here. So good to see you, Toasty pops. As always, Mr. Budalicious, Mr. Buddha Bootlicious. Good to see you. All right, guys. Hey. Every episode of the Daily Cyber Threat Brief, including this one, is worth half a CPE Continuing professional education credit. So if you have a cyber security certification that requires maintenance and upkeep, I'll tell you what. You handle paying the annual fee, and I'll handle the CPEs. I think that's a fair deal if anybody wants to flip the script on that. I can't. I can't. I can't just say what's up in chat. This episode, just like every episode, is worth Half a CPE. Half a CPE is 30 minutes of education. We have a good time here. I like to party. I like to party. And I like to do cyber security. I'm like a mullet. All right? Business up front, party in the rear. But it's all cyber on every direction. So half of the show is just good times and rib tickling. And the other half is instructor Le Webinar Mad Destroyer doing a first timer. Looks like we have VR, vfr. Jj. Vfr, jj. Welcome to the party, pal. Welcome to the party, pal. I do want to say shout out to Mad Destroyer Dan, I was thinking of you yesterday as I was putting together. Putting together a sh. Shorakai Genesis engine. Commander Deck. Thinking about bringing it to your house and just dropping. Dropping bombs on your head, Commander style. I. I digress. But the coffee is good and we have to get up for a cup of coffee, guys. Every episode of the Daily Cyber Threat Brief. It is not possible without the support and kindness of the stream sponsors and also the first timers like Khalil Gai. 369 Khalil K H A L For those in the chat who want to welcome Khal. Welcome to the party. Welcome to the party, pal. I hope you have a great show. Khalil and vf. VF who I'll refer to vf show sponsors make it possible if you want to support the channel, if you enjoy the show, first timers, if you're like, this guy's pretty good, I like what this guy's saying. What can I do to do more? Doesn't cost you anything. Go check out the links in the description below for the show sponsors. I stand by them. I'm very, very. I, I personally, I love the fact that I get to, you know, do a podcast and help people and have sponsors that help fund the inevitable costs that are required to run a show like this. But it's sponsors that I like, right? I'm not doing a NORDVPN or Vienta commercial or any of those others like Squarespace or whatever. So let's talk about flare really quickly. Flare Cyber threat intelligence platform. Pretty sick. If you are doing cyber security, if you are a small to mid sized team and you don't have great threat intelligence coming in. If you're a large team and you want to augment your existing threat intelligence flares, engineers and analysts go into the dark web undercover in some instances with sock puppet accounts and mine all sorts of amazing threat intelligence. I'm talking real logs from info stealer logs, host names, user accounts, domains, dark web chatter, ransomware, threat actor behavior. They run the gambit and they bring it back, put it into a very easy to interface data set which at the end of the day what's this mean to you? Sounds cool, but like so what? Who cares? Jerry, let me tell you what you can do. You can very quickly go data mining in here looking for your organization, Looking for your VIP's emails, looking for your VIP's endpoint like computer names to see if they got picked up in info stealer logs, looking at telegram chat, seeing if you are potentially an inbound victim organization Mad value. Check it out. Right now if you go to Simply Cyber IO Flare, you can actually just sign up for a two week free trial. Zero questions, zero cost, all value, right? If you're wondering if this juice is worth the squeeze, the answer is yes. Grab it with both hands and squeeze the crap out of it. Simply Cyber IO Flare Anti Siphon training Disrupting the traditional cyber security training industry. Now many of you, I attended Patterson Cakes UNIX Endpoint IR workshop yesterday. If you did and you're in chat, let us know the value you got from it. I would like to know personally, but flair, I mean Anti Siphon is always bringing the heat. And just like that they have another banger. Just like DJ kid. Another one and another one, another banger coming out next Wednesday. Natalie Saman teching you to break free from the cyber security burnout trap. My guy. If you are dealing with burnout, if you're dealing with overwhelmed, if you're like there's so many acronyms. If you're like how do I step away from the keyboard when I am dealing with an active incident? Natalie is going to help you understand this.

Noon next Wednesday, April 29. Be there or be square. As you would say in Back to the Future when they were in the 1955 timeline. Finally, I want to say thank you to Threat Locker. Longtime sponsor application but deny by default security. This is an enterprise grade solution but not at enter grade enterprise grade pricing. If your organization wants to take it to the next level and just have an absolute shutdown. This is like having a shutdown lockdown cornerback in the NFL. Threat Locker doesn't do all the things they do application security and they do it freaking really well at the endpoint and now in the cloud. Quick word from Threat locker and then VF and Khalil get your SPF5000 on your face because I'm about to nuke this place. And go, go, go. Absolutely. Burner, bring in the heat.
