This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Oct. 5, 2026
– Listen to the Podcast Episode
Kevin Novak is the CISO at Evansville, Ind.-based Old National, the sixth largest commercial bank headquartered in the Midwest and a top 25 U.S. bank with $74 billion in assets.
In this episode of the CISO Confidential series on the Cybercrime Magazine Podcast, Novack joins host Scott Schober and Dylan DeAnda, field CTO at Doppel, developers of an AI-native platform designed for social engineering defense, to discuss proactive resilience, including why cyber defense can no longer stop at the castle walls, how to strengthen external defense, and more.
“You can’t stop what you never looked at,” says DeAnda.
Novack shares some of what his team is up against on a daily basis, and effective cybersecurity strategies that help protect Old National. “Attackers have learned that it’s often easier to impersonate a trusted organization than it is to compromise a really well defended one.”
