Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon (Security Edition)

Since security pertains to everyone, in this episode of the IOSS we challenged ourselves to tie security back to Kevin Bacon. You might have to give us a few passes, but the connection is still strong.

Keira Knightley: Earlier this year, a man applied for credit account at Best Buy using Keira Knightley’s driver’s license information. If they didn’t catch him, it would have affected her FICO score.

And speaking of FICO, they just created an Enterprise Security Score, which rates how secure an organization is. We debated whether or not a score will improve security.

Chris Pine: Knightley was in Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit with Pine. He worked undercover as a compliance officer at an investment firm.

If Pine was a compliance officer for a security firm that profited by tanking a medical device stock, I’m guessing he’d have to raise a red flag.

Harrison Ford – Ford also played the character, Jack Ryan in Clear and Present Danger, so Pine and Ford are practially the same person. But it was when he played a doctor in The Fugitive that caught our attention.

While Ford played a doctor who was framed for murder, recently a woman’s stolen identity almost landed her in jail. And we discussed the dangers of medical identity theft.

The Obamas – The Obamas invited Harrison Ford to the White House. It impressed us that the White House now has a CISO.

Tom Hanks – Hanks narrated Obama’s “ Road We Traveled”

Kevin Bacon – And lastly, Hanks and Bacon appeared in Apollo 13.

Listen in and join the fun!
