No Password Required Podcast Episode 41 — Allan Liska

Allan Liska —Threat Intelligence Analyst at Recorded Future, the Ransomware Sommelier, and a guy with a mildly exciting expense account Allan Liska is a Threat Intelligence Analyst at Recorded Future. In this episode, Allan returns to No Password Required to talk with Carlton Fields Attorney Jack Clabby and KnowBe4’s Kayley Melton about his experiences in the ever-evolving battlefield of cyber threats, what has changed in ransomware since his first time on the show, and his perspective on the power of AI in the battle against cyber threats. He also updates us on his passion project: the upcoming release of the Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar comic book. In this thrilling new venture, Allan breathes new life into iconic insurance investigator Johnny Dollar by casting him in a role that hits close to home: a ransomware investigator. The best part was that he gifted the No Password Required team the chance to act out a scene from the comic. Jack and Kayley also talk about the dismantling of Qakbot, marking one of the largest-ever U.S.-led enforcement actions against a botnet (and also marking one of the best U.S. mission titles - Operation Duck Hunt.)
