Episode notes

Cybersecurity Today would like to than Material Security for their support of this podcast. On Cybersecurity Today on the Weekend, the host speaks with Jennifer Hutton, a cybersecurity leader in the car dealership sector, about how she entered cybersecurity through increasing cyber insurance requirements and why dealerships are prime targets because they hold bank-level sensitive data and run complex digital and IoT ecosystems. They discuss the rise of cyber-enabled fraud, including impersonation scams, smishing, and synthetic identity fraud, and the need to educate both employees and customers. Hutton describes gaps in industry resources, especially for smaller dealers, and contrasts regulatory pressures such as updated FTC safeguards rules in the U.S. She emphasizes servant leadership, empathy, and communicating risk in business terms, arguing that cyber risk is business risk. The conversation also covers supply chain disruption from the CDK ransomware incident and the importance of incident response, business continuity, and resiliency-focused planning.
