Episode 12: Cybercrime is a $10 trillion industry - and it’s coming for you
– With Hanna Linderstål
Every 39 seconds, a new cyber attack takes place. Yet most go unreported, leaving us unaware of just how vulnerable we are.
In this week’s episode, cybersecurity advisor Hanna Linderstål joins Simply Briefed to shed light on the evolving cyber landscape. As CEO of Earhart Business Protection Agency and an award-winning security expert, Hanna breaks down the hybrid nature of today’s threats—where digital, physical, and psychological attacks converge.
We talk about the rising role of AI in both enabling and defending against cybercrime, why cybersecurity is as much about trust and culture as it is about firewalls, and why transparency after a breach might be your best defense.
Key takeaways
- Organized cybercrime is now big business
- Hybrid attacks blend digital, psychological, and geopolitical tactics
- AI is a double-edged sword: both a security threat and a defensive asset
- Strong cybersecurity starts with culture, strategy, and transparency
- Basic cyber hygiene (yes, even your passwords) is still crucial
