This week, we are pleased to be joined by George Glass, Associate Managing Director of Kroll's Cyber Risk business, as he is discussing their research on Scattered Spider and their targeting of insurance companies. While Scattered Spider has recently turned its attention to the airline industry, George focuses on the broader trend of the group’s industry-by-industry approach and what that means for defenders across sectors.

George and Dave discuss the group’s history, their self-identification as a cartel, and their increasingly aggressive tactics, including the use of fear-based social engineering, physical threats, and the recruitment of insiders at telecom providers. They also examine how organizations—especially those with vulnerabilities similar to past targets—can proactively defend against this threat and prepare an effective response if their industry becomes the next focus.
