Welcome back to The Lost Bots! In this episode, our hosts Jeffrey Gardner, Detection and Response (D&R) Practice Advisor, and Stephen Davis, Lead D&R Sales Technical Advisor, walk us through the most hilariously bad and surprisingly accurate depictions of cybersecurity in popular film and television. They chat about back-end inaccuracies, made-up levels of encryption, and pulled power plugs that somehow end cyberattacks. Then they give a shout-out to some of the cinematic treatments that get it right — including a surprising nod to the original 1993 "Jurassic Park."
For Season 2, we're publishing new episodes of The Lost Bots on the last Thursday of every month. Check back with us on Thursday, August 31, for Episode 3!
