EU CyberNet Launches Expert Podcast Series

EU CyberNet launches a podcast series to bridge the expertise from EU CyberNet’s Expert Pool and its partners to wider cybersecurity and cyber capacity building community on people, policies and practices shaping cybersecurity globally.

While often seen as a complicated topic, the podcast will decode cyber resilience into clear understanding and actionable steps. EU CyberNet Expert Podcast Series turns cyber capacity building and cybersecurity-related topics into accessible stories.  

Rooted in the European Union perspective and addressing global audience, the series brings spotlight to underrepresented voices and less discussed issues such as women in cyber or youth engagement, but also seeks to raise wider cyber awareness by discussing how cyber affects societies on a daily basis in order to build a more inclusive and resilient digital future. 

Ultimately, EU CyberNet Expert Podcast Series will bridge the gap between cyber experts and interested listeners to improve the relevance of cyber resilience to policymakers and teenagers alike. 

First Podcast on AI and Social Engineering 

The inaugural podcast builds on recent blog article “Agentic AI Systems Conducting Social Engineering Attacks” by Julian Neylan and highlights how agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems can be used in various steps of social engineering kill chain. The podcast episode will highlight measures and broader policy recommendations of actions that can be taken to mitigate the potential harms from agentic AI automated attacks. 

Julian Neylan is the Dissemination and Defense Lead at the Disarm Foundation and Training Programme Lead with Alliance 4 Europe. His research interests are in disinformation, AI, cyber security and public health.
