Building cloud native apps doesn't mean you're immune to dealing with legacy systems. Cloud services have changed significantly over the last decade, both in the security controls available to them and the sheer volume of services that CSPs provide. Scott Piper shares some history of cloud security, the benefits of account separation, and how ratcheting security helps orgs stay on a paved path.

Secure by design is more than just AppSec - it addresses how the whole business designs systems and processes to be effective and resilient. The latest report from LevelBlue on Cyber Resilience reveals security programs that are reactive, ill-equipped, and disconnected from IT and business leaders. Most security problems are out of security teams' hands. Addressing them requires input, buy-in, and action from business leaders and IT. Security cannot afford to be separate from the rest of the organization. In this interview, we'll discuss how we could potentially solve some of these issues with Theresa Lanowitz from LevelBlue.

For this interview, Ben from CyberNest joins us to talk about one of my favorite subjects: information sharing in infosec. There are so many amazing skills, tips, techniques, and intel that security professionals have to share. Sadly, a natural corporate reluctance to share information viewed as privileged and private has historically had a chilling effect on information sharing. We'll discuss how to build such a community, how to clear the historical hurdles with information sharing, and how to monetize it without introducing bias and compromising the integrity of the information shared. Aaron was already a skilled bug hunter and working at HackerOne as a triage analyst at the time. What he discovered can't even be described as a software bug or a vulnerability. This type of finding has probably resulted in more security incidents and breaches than any other category: the unintentional misconfiguration. There's a lot of conversation right now about the grey space around 'shared responsibility'. In our news segment later, we'll also be discussing the difference between secure design and secure defaults. The recent incidents revolving around Snowflake customers getting compromised via credential stuffing attacks is a great example of this. Open AWS S3 buckets are probably the best known example of this problem. At what point is the service provider responsible for customer mistakes? When 80% of customers are making expensive, critical mistakes? Doesn't the service provider have a responsibility to protect its customers (even if it's from themselves)? These are the kinds of issues that led to Aaron getting his current job as Chief of SaaS Security Research at AppOmni, and also led to him recently finding another common misconfiguration - this time in ServiceNow's products. Finally, we'll discuss the value of a good bug report, and how it can be a killer addition to your resume if you're interested in this kind of work!

The zero-trust security model has been billed as an ultra-safe defense against emerging, unrecognized and well-known threats. Unlike perimeter security, it doesn't assume people inside an organization are automatically safe. Instead, it requires every user and device -- inside and out -- to be authorized before any access is granted. Sounds enticing, but deployments require major architectural, hardware, and software changes to be successful.

A month ago, my friend Wolfgang Goerlich posted a hot take on LinkedIn that is less and less of a hot take these days. He posted, "our industry needs to kill the phish test",and I knew we needed to have a chat, ideally captured here on the podcast. I've been on the fence when it comes to phishing simulation, partly because I used to phish people as a penetration tester. It always succeeded, and always would succeed, as long as it's part of someone's job to open emails and read them. Did that make phishing simulation a Sisyphean task? Was there any value in making some of the employees more 'phishing resistant'? And who is in charge of these simulations? Who looks at a fake end-of-quarter bonus email and says, "yeah, that's cool, send that out."

Ever wondered what it's like to be responsible for the cybersecurity of a sports team? How about when that sports team is one of the world's most successful Formula One teams? I can't describe how excited we are to share this interview. This interview is basically two huge F1 nerds who happen to also be cybersecurity veterans asking everything they've always wanted to know about what it takes to secure an F1 team. For the folks out there that aren't familiar with this sport, Formula One is arguably the fastest, most watched, and most international automotive racing sport today. In the 2024 season, the racing series will feature ten teams traveling to 24 race tracks located in 21 different countries. Also, did you know that only two countries get more than one race? Italy gets to host two Grand Prix, and the United States gets to host three. A HUGE thanks to Keeper Security and Darren Guccione for making this interview possible.

The top priority on the CIS Critical Security Controls list has never changed: inventory and control of enterprise assets. Yet it remains one of the most challenging controls to implement, much less master. The refrain, "you can't secure what you don't know about" is as old as information security itself. Complicating this task is the fact that improving asset management isn't an aspiration unique to the security team. IT, finance, facilities, and other groups within large enterprises are concerned with this as well. This often leads to challenges: should all these groups attempt to standardize on one common asset database or CMDB? Or should security go their own way, and purchase their own asset management tool? Answering these questions would be a lot easier if we had someone with an IT asset management (ITAM) perspective, and fortunately, we do! Jeremy Boerger of Boerger Consulting joins us to help us understand the IT perspective, so we can understand if there are opportunities for security and IT to help each other out, or at least find some common ground! Boerger Consulting Resources: Email newsletter LinkedIn newsletter Book page Amazon book page I often say that it isn't the concepts or ideas in cybersecurity that are bad, but the implementations of them. Sometimes the market timing is just wrong and the industry isn't ready for a particular technology (e.g. enterprise browsers). Other times, the technology just isn't ready yet (e.g. SIEMs needed better database technology and faster storage). Since the ideas are solid, we see these concepts return after a few years. Application allowlisting is one of these product categories. Threatlocker has been around since 2017 and is now a late stage startup that has achieved market fit.

Every week here on the show we talk about vulnerabilities and exploits. Typically we recommend that organizations remediate these vulnerabilities in some way. But how? And more importantly, which ones? Some tools we have to help us are actually not all that helpful at time, such as: Mitre Att&ck - Don't get me wrong, this is a great project and Adam and team is doing a great job. However, its not a complete picture as we can't possibly know about every attack vector (or can we?). People seem to think if they cover everything in the framework they will be secure. You can't cover everything in the framework because each technique can be utilized by an attack in a hundred different ways. CVSS - Anyone can apply a score, but who is correct? Good that we have a way to score things, but then people will just use this as a basis for what they patch and what they do not. Also, chaining vulnerabilities is a thing, but we seem to lack any way to assign a score to multiple vulnerabilities at once (different from a technique). Also, some things don't get a CVE, how are you tracking, assessing risk, and patching these? CISA KEV - Again, love the project and Tod is doing amazing work. However, what about things that do not get a CVE? Also, how do you track every incident of an attacker doing something in the wild? Also, there is frequency, just because something got exploited once, does that mean you need to patch it right away? How are we tracking how often something is exploited as it is not just a binary "yes, its exploited" or "no, it is not". EPSS - I do like the concept and Wade and Jay are doing amazing work. However, there seems to be a "gut reaction" thing going on where we do see things being exploited, but the EPSS score is low. How can we get better at predicting? We certainly have enough data, but are we collecting the right data to support a model that can tell us what the attackers will do next?

Remember 20 years ago? When we were certain SIEMs would grant our cybersecurity teams superpowers? Or 10 years ago, when we were sure that NGAV would put an end to malware as we knew it? Or 15 years ago, when we were sure that application control would put an end to malware as we knew it? Or 18 years ago, when NAC would put an end to unauthorized network access? Why do we keep thinking that the next vendor offering is going to solve all our problems? In this interview, we talk with Fred Wilmot about the hard work of building effective processes and resilient architectures that will actually yield reductions in risk and detection/response capabilities that actually work. We'll discuss shifts in thinking that can move us past the latest distractions, and keep security teams focused on work that moves the needle. Fred may also mention his past transgressions against the industry and what he's doing to "wipe out the red from his ledger". There's plenty of content out there detailing how vendors fall short: scummy, aggressive sales tactics overuse of jargon and buzzwords sneaky sales tactics dumping on competitors products that fall far short of claims ambulance chasing So what should they doing? In this episode, we chat with Dani Wolff, about how marketers can adopt the skills and mindsets of security researchers to improve GTM strategies, without resorting to awful tactics. Drawing from extensive experience in qualitative interviews and collaborations with enterprise security executives and researchers, Dani will uncover how the innate curiosity and analytical prowess of researchers can dismantle unhealthy habits within vendor organizations. We'll also discuss Dani's various projects, including the WTF Did I Just Read podcast, CyberNest, and CyberSynapse.

The emergence of generative AI has caused us to rethink things on two fronts: how we consume threat detection data, as defenders how we need to shift our thinking and approaches to prepare for attackers' newfound GenAI capabilities But wait - is GenAI even useful for defenders or attackers? We'll dive deep into the state of AI as it pertains to security operations, just as Gartner announces that AI is hitting the trough of disillusionment. What better time to dispel the hype and focus on where real progress can be made? Edward Wu thinks so! Understandably so, as his startup, Dropzone.ai is making a big bet on generative AI to change the face (and pace) of security operations. We'll talk about what has changed here, and I have so many questions: after many generations of AI/ML technology in security, is the current gen really that dramatically different? Dropzone is far from the only startup with the same idea here, how will they differentiate? Is the problem that we need more help than we can possibly hire, or are we fundamentally doing something wrong in security operations? Specifically, what is this tech doing to help? Finally, we'll wrap by talking about where this tech goes next, and can we get there with current technology, or are we dependent on more breakthroughs from companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta?

The other story is from Thinkst, and showcases their ability to create file share honeypots with file listings that can now be tailored to specific industries. We discuss the results of some polls that RSnake ran on Twitter, to get feedback from folks on what they think about these models where CISOs are reportedly getting kickbacks for buying products from companies they advise. We also discuss the latest whistleblower insights about Microsoft and the state of security there, and the recent Polyfill.io incident that targeted over 100k websites with malware. Finally, we spend the rest of the news segment discussing the current state of Generative AI, from our own perspectives, but also through the lens of Bruce Schneier's latest blog post, a year old post from Marc Andreesen, and a rage-fueled rant from an angry Aussie.

Traditional approaches to access management are no longer sufficient to safeguard enterprise security. Tim will explain why the most effective approach to modern enterprise security requires a Zero Trust model that extends beyond just access to encompass every action, no matter how minor. Tim will describe the importance of implementing a Zero Trust framework that evaluates each command, query, and configuration change in real-time, and how that delivers the most effective and complete security solution. Doing so involves the application of fine-grained authorization policies that adapt to the context of the user, the sensitivity of the action, and the prevailing threat landscape.

Zero Trust is the security buzzword of the moment, and while it is a very powerful approach, nearly every enterprise security product on the market – and some that aren’t even security products — are saying they enable Zero Trust. The problem is this: you can’t buy zero trust. It’s an approach, an architecture, and a journey, not software, hardware, or a service to deploy. Zero Trust also provides a rare opportunity in security - to reduce cost, improve security AND enhance end-user and customer experience. Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/vault-bsw-11

This week, we've got data security being both funded AND acquired. We discuss Lacework's fall from unicorn status and why rumors that it went to Fortinet for considerably more than Wiz was willing to pay make sense. Microsoft Recall and Apple Intelligence are the perfect bookends for a conversation about the importance of handling consumer privacy concerns at launch. How can the Snowflake breach both be one of the biggest breaches ever, but also not a breach at all (for Snowflake, at least). It's time to have a conversation about shared responsibilities, and when the line between CSP and customer needs to shift. The CSA's AI Resilience Benchmark leaves much to be desired (like, an actual usable benchmark) and Greg Linares tells a wild story about how the first Microsoft Office 2007 vulnerability was discovered. Finally, the Light Phone III was announced. Do we finally have a usable minimalist, social media detox-friendly phone option? Will Adrian have to buy one to find out? Several recent trends underscore the increasing importance of Know Your Business (KYB) practices in today's business landscape. One significant trend is the rise in financial crimes, including money laundering, fraud, and terrorist financing. Technological advancements have transformed the way businesses operate, leading to increased digitization, online transactions, and remote customer interactions. While these developments offer numerous benefits, they also create opportunities for criminals to exploit vulnerabilities. Higher value remote transactions are performed at higher volumes. In addition, government programs such as the PPP program created a need for onboarding business quickly. This created a influx of fraudulent entities and claim who are now exploiting other channels. The convergence of these trends highlights the critical role of KYB in safeguarding businesses, ensuring regulatory compliance, and fostering trust among stakeholders in today's dynamic and interconnected business environment.

"Identity security has been around forever though", you might be thinking. Allow me to clarify. Identity is the largest cybersecurity product category, but most of it is focused on identity governance, authentication, multi-factor, etc. Very little of it is focused on operational identity security. It's this trend, where we recently (within the last 2 years) started seeing the ITDR (Identity Threat Detection and Response) acronym that we'll be focused on today. Particularly: Why is this trend/spike occurring now? What was or is missing to do identity security properly? What does the future of securing identity look like? And it's difficult to do better for this conversation than Will Lin. He spent the last half decade as a VC. On a daily basis, he was looking at the big picture of cybersecurity markets and trends. He discussed security challenges with CISOs and other security buyers on a regular basis, both directly and through the Security Tinkerers community he founded. All this led to a decision to quit the VC world to become a founder himself. Of all the categories he could have chosen, he chose identity security, and that's why we're happy to have him for this conversation. Segment Resources: The Future of Identity AKA Identity promo video focused on the future of Identity We start off discussing the latest round of fundings, centered largely around data security and securing LLM use. This dovetails into a discussion about marketing language and how difficult it can be for buyers to work out what the latest round of early stage startups are doing. Next, we discuss Cloudflare and Bugcrowd's acquisitions, as well as Synopsys's divestiture of its appsec portfolio. From here, we dive into a raft of new features across both IT and cybersecurity products, like Azure, Dashlane, LastPass, and PagerDuty. Discussing Huntress's active remediation feature triggers a conversation about this latest product trend: vendors seem to think buyers are ready for fully automated remediation actions. We're not so sure they are. To wrap up the cybersecurity coverage, Brandon Dixon has an interesting tutorial regarding a Security Copilot use case that looks a LOT like the default phishing enrichment use case that has been used for every SOAR POC ever. To clarify, this is a great piece in that it is all practical, has no marketing fluff, and shows you how to do something useful with Security Copilot. Where it pulls up short is managing to live up to the hype we've been hearing about Security Copilot from day one. We agree to table the discussion on Microsoft Recall until we know more about what GA of the feature will look like, and then dig into a VERY interesting squirrel story about an audio-based hacking puzzle created by a rock band. The interview will delve into the healthcare industry's tumultuous year in 2023, marked by 124 million breached health records across 725 hacking incidents (according to The HIPAA Journal). This interview will explore the critical role that MSSPs play in safeguarding health data and systems against potential security incidents, such as ransomware and business email compromise attacks. Jim Broome will share how to proactively prepare for an incident - including establishing a comprehensive incident response plan, outlining strategies for containment, restoration, and ongoing security operations, and how an MSSP can help.

Since the 1995 publication of Daniel Goleman’s international bestseller Emotional Intelligence, Why It Can Matter More Than IQ, a global movement has developed to bring “EQ” into practice in businesses, schools, and communities around the globe. But what is its impact on Cybersecurity? In this interview, we welcome Jessica Hoffman, Deputy CISO for the City of Philadelphia, to discuss how Emotional Intelligence can be applied by CyberSecurity leadership to create a better culture and better leaders. Jessica will discuss the five skills that encompass Emotional Intelligence, including: Self Awareness Self Regulation Motivation Empathy Social Skills and examples of how to use them. If you want to be a better cyber leader, then don't miss this episode.   Semperis CISO Jim Doggett shares insights into the evolving role of the CISO. The daily onslaught of cyberattacks not only increases business risk, but also puts a company’s most important data at risk – data on the company, its employees, customers, and partners. Now, more than ever, the CISO is being asked to understand the business of cyber without being given much time to implement plans for protecting an organization’s infrastructure. There is a balance needed between being a technical and business leader, and Jim can share stories from his successful career to enlighten listeners.

Organizations today are overwhelmed with the sheer magnitude of potential cybersecurity threats and there is plenty of vendor buzz around AI in Security products, but what is the reality? Threat detection and incident response (TDIR) strategy and execution have never been more critical and are essential in maintaining cyber resilience and strengthening the security posture of every organization. TDIR aims to identify potential threats and respond before they can impact a business. A layered defense focuses on identifying threat activity, prioritizing investigations, and measuring risk. As a result, organizations can take the appropriate threat mitigation steps. These security strategies and protocols signify a step forward with a TDIR strategy where everyone from the CISO to the security analyst wins. This segment is sponsored by Graylog.

Ensuring that the information security risks of those other companies don't impact your own is the remit of Third Party Cyber Risk Management (TPCRM) teams. It is increasingly evident, however, that the existing practices and tools are not up to the challenge. They make the process even more adversarial than it needs to be, are focused on risk transfer and/or acceptance rather than reduction; are based on limited and low quality signals; and are often excruciatingly manual.

As a special treat for this week's vault episode, we set up a conversation with Derek Manky to discuss Fortinet's FortiGuard Labs Threat Report. This is a bi-annual report put out by FortiGuard Labs, and in my opinion, it just keeps getting better and better. The report is chock full of actionable information and insights. It answered all my questions about the current state of threats and attacks, like: What is the latest big shift in strategy and focus for ransomware groups? I keep hearing that attackers are getting faster and faster - how much time to defenders actually have these days (to patch a critical vuln, for example)? What are the latest attack techniques being used? Which are used less, or never used? There's not a dull moment in this conversation - I hope you enjoy listening to or watching it as much as I did making it!

Suddenly SIEMs are all over the news! In a keynote presentation, Crowdstrike CEO George Kurtz talked about the company's "next-gen" SIEM. Meanwhile, Palo Alto, who was taken to task by some for not having an active presence on the RSAC expo floor, hits the headlines for acquiring IBM's SIEM product, just to shut it down! Meanwhile, LogRhythm and Exabeam merge, likely with the hopes of weathering the coming storm. The situation seems clear - there's no such thing as "best of breed" SIEM anymore. It's a commodity to be attached to the existing dominant security platforms. Are the days numbered for the older pure-play SIEM/SOAR vendors out there?

Yes, each of these vendors has security controls baked into their solution, however they cannot extend those controls outside their environments to provide visibility, context, and protection beyond their walls. Hackers use the gaps between these tools to move throughout a company and evade detection. We don't expect Dell or Lenovo to protect our entire suite of endpoints. Nor do expect a single cloud provider to protect all your clouds; we rely on Wiz for that.

Inspired by my co-host Jason Albuquerque, this quarter's Say Easy, Do Hard segment is Train How You Fight. In part 1, we discuss the importance of training for a cyber incident. However, lots of organizations do not take it seriously, causing mistakes during an actual cyber incident. How will the lack of preparation impact your organization during an incident? Inspired by my co-host Jason Albuquerque, we dig into the hard part of our Say Easy, Do Hard segment. In part 2, we discuss how to train for a cyber instance. We'll cover the elements of a training program that will prepare you for responding to a cyber incident, including: Developing the training program Practice, practice, practice Imposing corrective actions Constantly evaluating/reviewing the success of the training program Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/bsw for all the latest episodes!

A clear pattern with startups getting funding this week are "autonomous" products and features. Automated detection engineering Autonomously map and predict malicious infrastructure ..."helps your workforce resolve their own security issues autonomously" automated remediation automated compliance management & reporting I'll believe it when I see it. Don't get me wrong, I think we're in desperate need of more automation when it comes to patching and security decision-making. I just don't think the majority of the market has the level of confidence necessary to trust security products to automate things without a human in the loop. The way LimaCharlie is going about it, with their new bi-directional functionality they're talking up right now, might work, as detections can be VERY specific and fine-grained. We've already seen a round of fully automated guardrail approaches (particularly in the Cloud) fail, however. My prediction? Either what we're seeing isn't truly automated, or it will become a part of the product that no one uses - like Metasploit Pro licenses.   We've talked about generative AI in a general sense on our podcast for years, but we haven't done many deep dives into specific security use cases.

Version 4.0 of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) puts greater emphasis on application security than did previous versions of the standard. It also adds a new “customized approach” option that allows merchants and other entities to come up with their own ways to comply with requirements, and which also has implications for application security. Specifically, PCI DSS 4.0 requires that by March 31, 2025, more testing of public-facing applications related to payment processing or other activities be considered “in scope” for compliance. Generally, any system that touches payment-card data is in scope for PCI DSS compliance, whether or not the system or function is public-facing. We'll talk through what organizations should have gotten done by March 31, 2024, and what needs to happen by March 31, 2025.

We look into the supply chain saga of the XZ Utils backdoor. It's a wild story of a carefully planned long con to add malicious code to a commonly used package that many SSH connections rely on. It hits themes from social engineering and abuse of trust to obscuring the changes and suppressing warnings. It also has a few lessons about software development, the social and economic dynamics of open source, and strategies for patching software. It's an exciting topic partially because so much other appsec is boring. And that boring stuff is important to get right first. We also talk about what parts of this that orgs should be worried about and what types of threats they should be prioritizing instead.

In this discussion, we focus on vendor/tool challenges in infosec, from a security leader's perspective. To quote our guest, Ross, "running a security program is often confused with shopping". You can't buy an effective security program any more than you can buy respect, or a black belt in kung fu (there might be holes in these examples, but you hopefully get the point). In fact, buying too much can often create more problems than it solves, especially if you're struggling to fill your staffing needs. In this 2-part episode, we'll discuss: - The current state of vendor offerings in cybersecurity - The difficulties of measuring value and efficacy in a product - How to avoid building a security program that centers around managing products - Shelfware - Minimizing product overhead - The pros and cons of buying from different types of companies - Who to look to for product recommendations - Is making a plan to "ditch before you hitch" a good or bad idea? - What to do when you inherit a mess Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/bsw for all the latest episodes!

The most common response was a deep sense of curiosity. Throughout my career, I noticed another major factor in folks that brought a lot of value to security teams: diversity. Diversity of people, diversity of background, and diversity of experience. I've seen auto mechanics, biologists, and finance experts bring the most interesting insights and forehead-slapping observations to the table. I think part of the reason diversity is so necessary is that security itself is incredibly broad. It covers everything that technology, processes, and people touch. As such, cybersecurity workers need to have a similarly broad skillsets and background. Today, we talk to someone that embodies both this non-typical cybersecurity background and sense of curiosity - Clea Ostendorf. We'll discuss: The importance for organizations to actively seek and welcome curious newcomers in the security field who may not conform to traditional cybersecurity norms. Strategies for organizations to foster an environment that encourages individuals with curiosity, motivation, and a willingness to challenge conventional norms, thereby promoting innovative thinking in addressing security risks.

Legacy systems are riddled with outdated and unreliable cryptographic standards. So much so that recent proprietary research found 61 percent of the traffic was unencrypted, and up to 80% of encrypted network traffic has some defeatable flaw in its encryption No longer can enterprises take their cryptography for granted, rarely evaluated or checked. Knowing when, where and what type of cryptography is used throughout the enterprise and by which applications is critical to your overall security policy, zero-trust approach, and risk management strategy. After all, zero-trust is meaningless if your cryptography isn't working.

As a computer-smitten middle-schooler in the former Soviet Union in the 1970s, to his current and prominent role in the cybersecurity research community, Bratus aims to render the increasingly prevalent and perilous software, hardware, and networks in our lives much safer to use. His fascination with computer security started for real in the 1990s as a mathematics graduate student when a computer he was programming and responsible for at Northeastern University in Boston was taken over by a hacker. That experience set him on his life’s mission to learn as much as he can about the vulnerabilities of software and hardware with the goal of learning how to best minimize or eliminate those vulnerabilities. Noting his embrace of the hacker community for its deep and innovative expertise in this context, Bratus’s portfolio at DARPA could help reduce or entirely remove even some of the most stealthy and unexpected vulnerabilities that reside in software and its logical, computational, and mathematical foundations.

We've seen general users targeted with phishing, financial employees targeted for BEC scams, and engineers targeted for access to infrastructure. The truly scary attacks, however, are the indirect ones that are automated. The threats that come in via software updates, or trusted connections with third parties. The software supply chain is both absolutely essential, and fragile. A single developer pulling a tiny library out of NPM can cause chaos. A popular open source project changing hands could instantly give access to millions of systems. Every day, a new app store or component repository pops up and becomes critical to maintaining infrastructure. In this interview, we'll chat with Pete Morgan about how these risks can be managed and mitigated.

Matt Coose is the founder and CEO of cybersecurity compliance firm Qmulos, previously the director of Federal Network Security for the National Cyber Security Division of the (DHS). CISOs carry the ultimate burden and weight of compliance and reporting and are often the last buck. Says Coose, best-of-breed is better described as best-to-bleed-the-budget: it’s a bottom-up, tech-first, reactive approach for acquiring technology as opposed to managing risk. Choose shares his top considerations below for how CISOs can navigate the crowded market of cybersecurity tools when cost is highly scrutinized, but regulations keep growing. Platforms are what every vendor dreams of being called, but no platform does it all, says Coose. Coose shares what smart CISOs and mature organizations understand, that others don’t: • There’s no “buying their way out of security issues or into a better risk posture.” They understand the need to evolve to a top-down, risk-driven, inherently business-aligned, dynamically adaptable, and evidence-based security management strategy. • That looking at technology choices through the lens of risk controls (and the related data provided by technology that implements those controls) enables credible and transparent strategic tech portfolio management decisions that are immune to vendor preferences or the latest market(ing) fads. • The need for meaningful security and risk measurement and the difference between leading and lagging indicators. • The original intent of security and regulatory compliance as a model for proactive and consistent risk management (leading indicator), not just a historical reporting and audit function (lagging indicator). • That managing risk, compliance, and security as distinct and separate functions is not only wasteful and inefficient, but denies the enterprise the ability to cross-leverage significant people, process, and technology investments In the Security News: Don’t expose your supercomputer, auth bypass and command injection FTW, just patch it, using OSQuery against you, massive credential stuffing, backdoors in Harmony, looking at Android, so basically I am licensing my printer, hacking Tesla, injecting keystrokes over Bluetooth, and remembering the work of David L.

With a recent increase in government attention on K–12 cybersecurity, there is a pressing need to shed light on the challenges school districts face in implementing necessary security measures. Why? Budgeting constraints pose significant obstacles in meeting recommended cybersecurity standards. Brian Stephens of Funds For Learning will discuss: The financial constraints K–12 schools face and the critical role of funding from federal and state governments in addressing cybersecurity concerns. Efforts by Funds For Learning to petition the FCC to expand E-rate funding to support next-generation firewalls and other cybersecurity services. By expanding the technologies and solutions eligible for E-rate funding, schools can obtain the necessary resources to protect against the growing threat of third-party data breaches. Here are links to the most current blog posts about Cybersecurity Notice of Proposed Rulemaking  https://www.fundsforlearning.com/news/2023/11/dont-miss-your-chance-to-impact-e-rate-cybersecurity/, Wi-Fi hotspots https://www.fundsforlearning.com/news/2023/11/wi-fi-hotspots-proposed-for-e-rate-program/ and school bus Wi-Fi https://www.k12dive.com/news/fcc-approves-school-bus-wifi-e-rate/697337/.

GenAI hype is still at peak levels, but clearly some of the hopes and dreams pinned on it will fail, while other use cases we haven't even imagined will become commonplace. Greg Notch joins us to share his thoughts on what security leaders and the general public should be more or less worried about when it comes to GenAI. Many founders and early stage startups closely guard product details and information about their roadmap and go-to-market plan. Is it a bad idea then to build a company based around an open source project? Not at all, according to Ev Kontsevoy, whose company Teleport has done just that. Building a security vendor around open source isn't a magic formula for success, however, so we'll discuss the pros and cons of this approach. We'll also discuss best practices for securing infrastructure at scale and Teleport's journey in enabling a different and more secure approach to managing remote infrastructure.

I once told my college advisor that I wanted to double major in computer science and jazz performance. She laughed at me. Instead, I jumped into a career in IT and played jazz - without a degree in either. Turns out, that was fine - the industry valued experience and results over academic achievement. Today's guest has two degrees, one in fine arts, one in pre-law, and that's also fine. If there's anything I've learned in InfoSec, it's the mind that matters most, less so the degrees or certs on your wall. Angela Marafino gets cybersecurity and understands what makes it tick. Using this knowledge, she has built a personal brand, network, and career in an impressively short time. She is simultaneously mentor and mentee.

Throughout her career, Sandy Dunn has continued to mature and refine her skills. In the early days, she describes her job as a "hostage negotiator", constantly negotiating between the business teams and the security team. But as you mature, so does your approach to security. Now, Sandy talks about simplifying "knowledge management" to make it easy to understand security and becoming a "business listener" to make the right decisions.

We will provide a short introduction to OWASP SAMM, which is a flagship OWASP project allowing organizations to bootstrap and iteratively improve their secure software practice in a measurable way. Seba will explain the SAMM model, consisting of 15 security practices. Every security practice contains a set of activities, structured into 3 maturity levels. The activities on a lower maturity level are typically easier to execute and require less formalization than the ones on a higher maturity level. A the end we will cover how you can engage with the SAMM community and provide an overview of what happened at our latest SAMM User Day which happened on May 27th.

We're excited to give an end-of-year readout on the performance of the cybersecurity industry with Mike Privette, founder of Return on Security and author of the weekly Security, Funded newsletter. This year, this podcast has leaned heavily on the Security, Funded newsletter to prep for our news segment, as it provides a great summary of all the funding and M&A events going on each week. In this segment, we look back at 2023, statistics for the year, comparisons to 2022, interesting insights, predictions, and more!

MEF is an industry association, providing standards, certifications, and facilitating community discussions. MEF has teamed up with CyberRatings.org to establish a certification program for SASE services, making it easier for buyers to understand what's included in SASE-related products and services. Segment Resources: https://www.mef.net/news/16-leading-technology-and-service-providers-launch-industrys-first-sase-product-and-services-certification/ This week, in the security market, we talk about next NEXT gen anti-virus, how Okta can (apparently) do no wrong, and a VC firm imploding. Then we discuss how smartphones and speakers are allegedly being used to spy on us, and the future of privacy and consumer tech products. The latest SSH vuln is much less concerning than media outlets and academic researchers would have you believe. The Citrixbleed vuln, however is about as bad as vulns can get, and has led to one of the biggest US consumer breaches in a while, with Comcast/XFinity losing all customer records. The SEC backpedals (again!) on requiring breached companies to provide details about how they got breached.

Cyber has been an historically hermetic practice. A dark art. Full of mysteries and presided over by magicians both good and bad. This is a bit of an exaggeration, yet there is some truth to it. Many in our industry knew that the SEC was evaluating the role that cyber risk management and incident disclosure plays in the pricing mechanism for an equity. Many of the participants in GRC, IRM, and Cyber Risk anticipated this before the SEC had even proposed such rules. Boards, C-Suites, and Information security teams within publicly traded companies brought it up occasionally in the year preceding its adoption. Lawyers on K Street actively advocated in the press against enacting such rules, and there is still a hearty back and forth concerning the merits of SEC involvement in cyber risk. But more transparency is a very welcome development. For investors, it’s essential. Industry veterans say that this development hearkens back to Sarbanes Oxley, which had very big implications for Governance, Risk, and Compliance. This is likely cyber risk’s SOX moment, and the drop date is December 15th of this year on all 10-K filings. The SEC will not look kindly upon boilerplate disclosures, particularly if a cyber attack with significant losses occurs. So where do you start? This segment is sponsored by CyberSaint .

On this podcast, we've often struggled with whether or not to include stories and discussion on identity verification. Is identity verification cybersecurity proper, or cybersecurity adjacent as part of fraud prevention? As always, when we're unsure, we find folks to talk to and learn more. Today, we'll be learning about weak points in the identity verification chain from Rob O'Farrell. He'll also be helping us to understand what identity verification is, and why it's important to cybersecurity overall. As more and more of the world is digitized (especially the lagging healthcare industry in the US), reliable identity verification seems more important every day. Segment Resources: Living Information Security: An Integrated Approach to ISO-27001 The Foundations of Identity Verification: Trust and Its Pillars IBS Intelligence Podcasts Ep552: Is self-sovereign identity the next step in secure ID management? Are We Being Lax with Fraud? What is telemetry data and why is it important to cybersecurity? Why is it such a pain to collect, store and use? How do we improve our ability to gather and benefit from this data? Today, Tucker Callaway, the CEO of Mezmo joins us to answer all these questions and help us understand the future of the SIEM and other cybersecurity data tools. On this week's news segment, we pick up where we left off with Doug running the show last week. We discuss current early stage categories, AD canarytokens, and low hanging vulns. We talk about why cybersecurity is important, but not nearly as unique or special as some might have you think. The goal of patching faster than exploits can be used - is it a fool's errand? Also, pickleball - the country's fastest growing sport, is causing chaos across the nation. Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/esw for all the latest episodes!

Bob Ackerman argues that, from an investment perspective, cybersecurity is like life sciences - a complex, nuanced field that is difficult field to invest in part-time. So his firm, Allegis Cyber, became one of the first to focus exclusively on investing in cyber startups. In this segment, we'll discuss one of Allegis's recent investments, SixMap, and Bob's other investment/accelerator vehicle, Data Tribe. Data Tribe sources investments from national intelligence, with examples like Dragos that came through this program. This week in the enterprise news, we explore the harsh realities of the startup world with a look at recent failures and shutdowns, investigating the factors leading to these setbacks. Meanwhile, Carbon Black makes headlines by breaking away from VMware in what seems like a divestiture within an acquisition, raising questions about the future of the company.

While non-profit doesn't mean "no budget" when it comes to cybersecurity, a lot of smaller to mid-sized non-profits operate on a shoestring, with little to no money for cybersecurity talent or spending. This is where Sightline Security steps in. Sightline's founder and CEO, Kelley Misata joins us today to explain how her own non-profit helps other non-profits improve their cybersecurity posture. As with any category of trends, the success rate of cybercrime ebbs and flows. As Russia seems be a safe haven for cybercriminals, it seemed for a while that the war in Ukraine might disrupt this activity. It did, but only for a short while. Keith Jarvis walks us through the latest types, tactics, and trends in cybercrime.

This year we've talked about vulns, clouds, breaches, presentations, and all the variations of Dev, Sec, and Ops. As we end the year, let's talk about starting things -- like starting an appsec program or an appsec career. But is there still a need for an appsec team? Or has it turned into specializations for areas like cloud security and bug bounty programs? We'll cover careers and coding, with an eye towards figuring out what modern software development looks like and where application (or product!) security fits in that model.

Most leadership books suffer from one of two critical failures (and sometimes both). The book might be a hagiography: telling you the biography of some amazing leaders, pretending there is one secret trick that will let you emulate that leader. Or the lesson of book should have been written as a tweet: in 280 characters you could have learned one lesson, but instead you have to fight through 300 pages of obfuscation to decipher the lesson. 1% Leadership is the antidote to these approaches. There is no secret. Instead, 1% Leadership provides 54 distinct lessons on leadership, that apply to individuals, teams, and organizations. Each lesson is presented in a self-contained chapter, averaging under 800 words. The lessons are summarized in a tweet-length pithy summary, which is also the chapter title. The table of contents thus serves as a quick reference guide for leaders.

Once again, Theresa Lanowitz joins us to discuss Edge Computing, but with a twist this time, as Mani Keerthi Nagotu from SentinelOne joins us as well! As a field CISO, Mani knows all too well the struggles security leaders are going through, given the current market and threat landscape: Maybe not less budget, but more pressure to produce results and justify spending Security leaders being held personally accountable for performance Potential layoffs, and the need to achieve the same goals with less labor and tool overhead Segment Resources https://cybersecurity.att.com/insights-report This segment is sponsored by AT&T Cybersecurity. Visit https://securityweekly.com/attcybersecurity to learn more about them! We regularly cover significant breaches on this podcast, but it is rare that we have enough information about a major breach to cover in enough detail to devote an entire segment to. Today, we dive into lessons learned from the breach of Okta's customer support system that targeted some other major security vendors. This is part of a troubling trend, where the target of an attack only serves as a jumping off point to other organizations. China's 2023 attack of Microsoft is an example of this. It was easier to attack Microsoft 365, one of the world's largest business SaaS platforms, than to go after each of the 25 individual targets these Chinese actors needed access to. Traditionally, we've thought of lateral movement as something that happens within a network segment, or even within a single organization. Now, we're seeing lateral movement between SaaS platforms, between clouds, from third party vendors to customer, and even from open source project to open source adopters. In this segment, we'll cover five key lessons learned from Okta's breach, from information shared by Okta and three of its customers: 1Password, Cloudflare, and BeyondTrust.

Inspired by my co-host, Jason Albuquerque, we get our hands dirty and discuss the challenges of cyber risk management. Why is cyber risk management so elusive and what can we do to solve it? In part 1, we discuss the challenges of cyber risk management and quantification. Do risk scores really work? What do CEOs and Boards really need to understand cyber risks? Inspired by my co-host, Jason Albuquerque, we get our hands dirty and discuss the challenges of cyber risk management. Why is cyber risk management so elusive and what can we do to solve it? In part 2, we get our hands dirty by walking through ways to quantify cyber risks in business terms. What risks are truly worth mitigating vs. accepting or transferring?

Today, we discuss the state of attack surface across the Internet. We've known for decades now that putting an insecure service on the public Internet is a recipe for disaster, often within minutes. How has this knowledge changed the publicly accessible Internet? We find out when we talk to Censys's Aidan Holland today. We've reached an inflection point in security. There are a handful of organizations regularly and successfully stopping cyber attacks. Most companies haven't gotten there, however. What separates these two groups? Why does it seem like we're still failing as an industry, despite seeming to collectively have all the tools, intel, and budget we've asked for? Kelly Shortridge has studied this problem in depth. She has created tools (https://www.deciduous.app/), and written books (https://www.securitychaoseng.com/) to help the community approach security challenges in a more logical and structured way. We'll discuss what hasn't worked for infosec in the past, and what Kelly thinks might work as we go into the future. During the news today, we went deep down the rabbithole of discussing security product efficacy. Adrian still doesn't believe in enterprise browsers beyond Google Chrome, but can't deny that Talon got a pretty favorable exit considering the state of the market. We see the first major exit for cybersecurity insuretechs, and discuss a few notable funding rounds. We discuss Kelly Shortridge's essay on the origins and nature of the term "security" and what it means. Stephen Schmidt suggests 6 questions every board should ask their CISO, we explore Cyentia Labs' meta analysis of MITRE ATT&CK techniques, and Phil Venables shares some hilarious takes on infosec stereotypes.   Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/esw for all the latest episodes!

In this segment, we discuss the current state of the market recovery with Hank Thomas, founder of Strategic Cyber Ventures. We've got market questions, like: What has changed in the last year? Are IPOs coming back any time soon? How large is the cybersecurity death pool? What do early and mid-sized startups need to do to survive in the current market? There is little to no organization of data within companies in 2023. We're all guilty of this at some level. The download folders and desktops on our personal machines are a mess. File servers, and cloud storage services are a mess. In Microsoft's recent data leak, AI researchers even had PC backups stored along side machine learning models for whatever reason. Data is hard to classify, organize, and monitor. By designing for convenience, we've created convenience debt that now has to be paid down. In this segment we talk to Jackie McGuire about what needs to happen to accomplish this, at the enterprise level, and at scale. Even if we can one day address the challenge of tracking and labeling data, we'll still have the challenge of addressing data integrity and resilience, which we'll also discuss if we have time!

For the Security News, we officially welcome Bill Swearingen to our expert panel of PSW hosts, and discuss the news including hacking shenanigans, QNAP, recovering crypto currency, Android malware, and more! Then in a pre-recorded segment: Sonar Vulnerability Researchers Thomas Chauchefoin and Paul Gerste conducted research on the security of Visual Studio Code — the most popular code editor out there — which was presented at DEF CON 31 in August. The pair uncovered a few ways for attackers to gain code execution on a victim's computer if they clicked on a specially crafted link or opened a malicious folder in Visual Studio Code, bypassing existing mitigations like Workspace Trust. Developers tend to trust their IDEs and do not expect such security issues to exist. As developers have access to source code and production systems, they make for very interesting targets for threat actors. Important to note is that the security concepts that the two are able to demonstrate apply not just to Visual Studio Code, but to most other code editors. This is also the story of how the researchers got an unexpected $30,000 bounty from Microsoft for these bugs, by mistake!

Today we interview Shane Sims, CEO of Kivu Consulting. We'll be talking about the current state of cybercrime and insights from incidents his consulting firm has recently worked. We'll discuss some of the latest stats and trends related to ransomware, as well as thoughts on future cybercrime trends. Shane will also share some stories from his time as an FBI agent, working undercover as a cybercriminal. Segment Resources: Report - Mitigating Ransomware Risk: Determining Optimal Strategies for Business One of the biggest challenges in security today is organizations' reluctance to share attack information. Perhaps legal teams are worried about liability, or maybe execs are just embarrassed about security failures. Whatever the reason, this trend makes it difficult for organizations to help each other. CrowdSec's mission is to make this process automated, anonymized, and seamless for security teams. We talk to Phillip Humeau, one of CrowdSec's founders, about what it's like to build a such an unconventional cybersecurity business - one based around crowdsourcing and open source software.

It's no surprise that OT security has fared poorly over the last 30+ years. To many appsec folks, these systems have uncommon programming languages, unfamiliar hardware, and brittle networking stacks. They also tend to have different threat scenarios. Many of these systems are designed, successfully, to maintain availability. But when a port scan can freeze or crash a device, that availability seems like it hasn't put enough consideration into adversarial environments. We chat about the common failures of OT design and discuss a few ways that systems designed today might still be secure 30 years from now. In the news, how HTTP/2's rapid reset is abused for DDoS, a look at the fix for Curl's recent high severity bug, OWASP moves to make CycloneDX a standard, Microsoft deprecates NTLM, VBScript, and old TLS -- while also introducing an AI bug bounty program.

The world of AI is exploding, as excitement about generative AI creates a gold rush. We've already seen a huge number of new GenAI-based startups, products, and features flooding the market and we'll see a lot more emerge over the next few years. Generative AI will transform how we do business and how we interact with businesses, so right now is an excellent time to consider how to adopt AI safely. Pamela Gupta's company literally has "trust" and "AI" in the name (Trusted.ai), so we couldn't think of anyone better to come on and have this conversation with. Interview Resources: https://trusted.ai https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/ai/nist.ai.100-1.pdf There's a lot of talk about AI, especially with the rise of apps like ChatGPT. Despite there being a huge amount of hype, there are legitimately practical applications for leveraging AI concepts in meaningful ways to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of your cybersecurity program. We'll discuss a few examples and show you some ways to bring AI out of the hype and into a proper tool to empower your security and risk program. This segment is sponsored by Tenable.

What if all these recommendations to shift left were more about shifting focus? It's all too easy to become preoccupied with vulns, whether figuring out how to find them earlier in the SDLC or spending time fixing them within specific number of days. Successful DevSecOps approaches can be so much more than just vulns and so much more than just tools. Sure, tools are useful for identifying known vulns in dependencies and new vulns in code, but teams that emphasize people and culture will find it easier to shift their attention to the security of their product and creating secure designs.

Communication is a skill that doesn't appear on top 10 lists, rarely appears as a conference topic, and doesn't appear enough on job requirements. Yet communication is one of the critical ways that security teams influence developers, convey risk, and share knowledge with others. Even our own Security Weekly site falls a little short with only a podcast category for "Training" instead of more options around communication and collaboration. Lina shares her experience presenting to executives and boards in high-stress situations, as well as training incident responders on real-world scenarios.

Organizations still struggle with DDoS, ransomware, and personal information exfiltration. In order the prevent these attacks, we first need to understand the ‘types’ of DDoS and emerging threat techniques used by the adversary. In this interview, we explore these attacks in the context of edge computing. As edge computing use cases evolve, organizations need to understand the intersection of edge computing, networking, and cybersecurity. We discuss the risks associated with edge computing, the controls that can mitigate these risks, and how to plan for implementation, including security budgeting.

We talk to Chris Sanders today, who has been steeped in the world of SecOps and detection/response for many years. After many years of writing books and training folks in the cybersecurity industry, he started delving into cognitive psychology and educational effectiveness. He leverages this knowledge in the training classes he builds and delivers. Today we'll discuss why it seems like defenders are still failing, despite the security industry largely (and arguably) receiving the resources it has been requesting. In this news segment, we start off by discussing funding, acquisitions, and Ironnet's unfortunate demise. We discuss Gmail's new, extra verifications for sensitive actions and Lockheed Martin's Hoppr SBOM and software supply-chain utility kit. We get into CISA's roadmap to help secure open source software, and their offer to run free vulnerability scans for the United States' 150,000+ water utilities. Then, discussion turns back to some more negative items with Brazil's self-inflicted $11 billion dollar data leak, and the MGM/Caesar's ransomware attacks, which seem like they could have a common attacker and initial attack vector (a shared IT support company, perhaps). We also discuss Microsoft's post mortem on the Storm-0558 attack. Kelly Shortridge wants to know, "why are you logging into production hosts", someone is submitting garbage CVEs, and Mozilla finds that privacy policies from auto manufacturers are a privacy TRAIN WRECK. Finally, we wrap up discussing tools that can detect deepfake audio, as well as the likelihood that this will be the start of a game of leapfrog, as deepfakes get increasingly better over time. And we discuss Delphi's offer to create a 'digital clone' of you that could live on forever, haunting your descendants. Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/esw for all the latest episodes!

Having direct visibility into your access data is crucial for two reasons: 1. Simplifying audit preparation and 2. Managing progress of your identity program to ensure peak performance. Internal auditors and compliance managers need easy access to granular data points to understand and demonstrate compliance to external agencies. Gaining access to real time data creates a great deal of autonomy for audit and identity teams to be able to delve deep into their identity programs and prove compliance. However, making the data available even internally can put organizations at risk for data leaks and data policy violations. Erik will outline how companies can gain access to their current identity search and dashboard data and be able to query in their preferred BI tool based on their own data privacy policies and business needs, significantly reducing risk.   This segment is sponsored by SailPoint.

The metaverse is an evolving storytelling environment in which humans have congregated for millennia to experience alternate, immersive, and simulated realities, with or without technology. Storytelling is designed to influence mental and physical perceptions suiting the purposes of the content creators. Metawar is the art of applying science to create and defend against the influence of alternate realities in the metaverse. What if we can longer rely on our senses to determine what is real and what is fiction? Winn's research into Metawar initially focused on metaversal technologies. Unexpectedly, it morphed into an intensely personal experience, triggering Winn's own Metanoia, which had a profound impact on the entire Metawar Thesis. Winn joins Business Security Weekly to share his Metanoia.

Incredibly, the seemingly simple task of managing corporate-owned devices is still a struggle for most organizations in 2023. Maybe best MDM for Mac doesn't work with Windows, or the best MDM for Windows doesn't work with Mac. Maybe neither have Linux support. Perhaps they don't provide enough insight into the endpoint, or control over it. Whatever the case, security leaders never seem satisfied with their MDM solution and are always investigating new ones. Now, Kolide has stepped in with a unique approach to device management, combining the flexibility and industry support for OSQuery and built to integrate with IdP giant Okta. We discuss Kolide's entrance into the device management space and the current state of MDM - what's wrong with it, and how does Kolide propose to fix it? This segment is sponsored by Kolide.

Ransomware authors are increasingly staying under the radar by launching encryption-less attacks which involve large volumes of data exfiltration. Organizations must move away from using legacy point products and instead migrate to a fully integrated zero trust platform that minimizes their attack surface, prevents compromise, reduces the blast radius in the event of a successful attack, and prevents data exfiltration.

Hackers Rig Casino Card-Shuffling Machines for ‘Full Control’ Cheating 4. ‘DoubleDrive’ attack turns Microsoft OneDrive into ransomware 5. NYC bans TikTok on city-owned devices As more organizations explore edge computing, understanding the entire ecosystem is paramount for bolstering security and resiliency, especially within a critical industry like healthcare. In this segment, Theresa Lanowitz, Head of Cybersecurity Evangelism at AT&T Business, will provide a deep dive into the state of edge computing—specifically, how it is revolutionizing healthcare. She will discuss key findings from the “2023 AT&T Cybersecurity Insights™ Report: Focus on Healthcare” and provide insight into how to prepare for securing the healthcare edge ecosystem. With Active Directory (AD) exploited in 9 out of 10 cyberattacks, delaying AD modernization—especially after a merger or acquisition—can compound security risks. Security is the most compelling reason to migrate to a pristine AD forest or perform an AD forest or domain consolidation, but many organizations delay such projects due to the effort and planning they require. Security Weekly talks with Semperis CEO Mickey Bresman about the keys to a smooth and secure AD modernization strategy. Security organizations are increasingly adopting data lakes and cloud services as additions or alternatives to traditional SIEMs, but face challenges like scarcity of data engineering expertise and high data ingestion and cloud compute costs. To overcome these, a new security data stack is emerging, guided by models like SecDataOps and supported by solutions like Tenzir, purpose-built for security data use cases. In this segment, we will be talking about what is driving the heavy use of data in security operations, why that is stressing traditional security operations tools and processes, and what some early-adopter organizations are doing to meet these challenges.   The rapid growth of APIs used to build microservices in cloud-native architecture has left many enterprises in the dark when it comes to knowing where, how many, and what types of APIs they have. With multiple teams creating their own API endpoints without shared visibility or governance, exposed APIs can become a critical threat vector for hackers to exploit. Edgio's new advanced API security capabilities give customers integrated and unparalleled protection at the edge, protecting APIs that are critical to modern businesses. Edgio delivers these services as part of its fully integrated holistic Web Application and API protection solutions giving customers the ability to respond to threats quicker. An edge-enabled holistic security platform can effectively reduce the attack surface, and improve the effectiveness of the defense while reducing the latency of critical web applications via its multi-layered defense approach. Edgio's security platform “shrinks the haystacks” so that organizations can better focus on delivering key business outcomes. Offensive security is a proactive approach that identifies weaknesses using the same exploitation techniques as threat actors. It combines vulnerability management with pen testing and red team operations to “expose and close” vulnerabilities before they are exploited. Join us at Black Hat as we delve into the world of Managed Detection and Response (MDR) providers. In this podcast, we'll explore the critical factors to consider when selecting an MDR provider, uncover the common shortcomings in their services, and discuss the necessary evolution required to ensure ongoing effectiveness and enhanced value for customers. Get ready to unravel the complexities of MDR and gain insights into the future of this vital cybersecurity solution. This segment is sponsored by AT&T Cybersecurity.

We also have a better idea of what valuation losses might be for security startups, thanks to the Check Point/Perimeter 81 acquisition. MITRE releases, ATLAS, an ATT&CK-style framework for machine learning models. Bloodhound's new rearchitected Community Edition is out, and Las Vegas's Sphere hasn't been hacked... yet. We discuss Ian Amit's background and what led him to want to leave the CISO life to create a startup! It's one thing for a security product to report problems to a security team. Everyone has these tools, but the problem is that someone has to analyze and triage all those findings, leading to alert fatigue and not a lot getting fixed. Gomboc is proposing to address this gap by auto-generating the fix.  https://www.blackhat.com/us-23/spotlight.html Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/esw for all the latest episodes!

Just how prepared are you for the next cybersecurity incident? Depending on the definition, security incidents likely happen daily at most enterprises. Because we can't prevent everything, the key to success is to be in a constant state of readiness. This means regular training with a focus on preparation. Gerard will walk us through tips and tricks to keep our incident response teams in tip-top condition.

On July 31st, 2023, the Biden administration released a national strategy addressing cyber workforce shortages, calling long-standing vacancies a national security imperative. The National Cyber Workforce and Education Strategy focuses on four major pillars: equipping every American with cyber skills, transforming cyber education, expanding and enhancing the national cyber workforce and strengthening the federal cyber workforce. The strategy relies heavily on non-governmental and private sector entities to provide funding, internship and apprenticeship programs to increase the number of workers with cybersecurity skills. One of those entities referenced in the strategy is Dakota State University. Dr. José-Marie Griffiths joins us to discuss education's role in the strategy, but offers other insights, including: - immigration policies and how it limits the current cyber workforce, - diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and the reduction of women in the cyber workforce, and - what can the cyber community do to help.  Segment Resources: https://www.dsucyber27.com/  https://dsu.edu/programs/artificial-intelligence-bs.html  https://dsu.edu/programs/computer-science-artificial-intelligence.html  In the leadership and communications section, How CISOs can engage the C-suite and Board to manage and address cyber risk, CISOs Need Backing to Take Charge of Security, It’s OK to Fail, but You Have to Do It Right, and more!

While malware and ransomware tend to dominate cybersecurity headlines, Fortra’s research shows that nearly 99% of email threats reaching corporate inboxes utilize impersonation rather than malware. Email impersonation is a key component of credential phishing, advance fee fraud, hybrid vishing, and business email compromise schemes. Because email impersonation scams rely on social engineering rather than technology, the barrier to entry for an aspiring cybercriminal is almost non-existent. In this segment, we’ll explore strategies for defending against email impersonation.

Some organizations are banning ChatGPT and other generative AI models out of fear of the risks they could introduce. While this is understandable, the reality is generative AI is accelerating so fast that, very soon, banning it in the workplace will be like blocking employee access to their web browser.

The traditional concept of the CISO may literally be 'too much', according to Nathan Case. It's based on systems of control and unrealistic assumptions that don't survive contact with real life. In this conversation, we'll discuss what the top security leadership role should be, and how it differs from the current/old school concept. The concept of Edge computing has evolved over the years and now has a distinct role alongside the public cloud.

Today, we talk to Juliet about what's wrong with security programs today and what security leaders should be doing to fix them. We'll discuss how security programs can look rosy... until the incident hits, and the true posture of the organization is laid bare. How can CISOs still look good and maintain the org's trust under the worst of circumstances? In this interview, Jules will tell us how. Zero Trust is an imperfect concept and is often impractical to deploy comprehensively at scale, but that doesn't mean it can't do any good. In this interview, we talk with practitioner Ryan Fried about his experiences implementing Zero Trust in real life. We'll also discuss his new role at Mandiant, and why the glue that holds together people, process, and tools is so important.

Less than 50% of the Fortune 500 have a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) or Chief Security Officer (CSO) listed on their executive team. Why is that? Is this role not considered an executive position? In part 1, we debate the role of the CISO/CSO and whether it is or is NOT and executive position. We've made a lot of progress over the last 20+ years, but has the role peaked? Will the role continue to get a seat at the table as a C-level executive or will it atrophy back to a VP or Director role? If the CISO/CSO is still an executive position, then what are the requirements of this role? In part 2, we debate the requirements of the CISO/CSO role and expectations of the organization. To be a true executive role, the CISO/CSO needs to have the decision making authority with the same protections of other officers. Will they get it? We debate.

InfoSec might have a hoarding problem, but it’s easy to understand why. It’s almost impossible to know what logs you’re doing to need, when you’re going to need them, or for what reason. SIEM vendors have taken advantage of these InfoSec data FOMO tendencies, however, and are making a killing charging a premium for storage - even when the storage in question is your own on-prem hardware. There ARE alternatives, however, but it seems most folks aren’t aware of this. In this interview with Eric Capuano, we’ll discuss both the practical and economic shortcomings of the traditional SIEM model. We’ll discuss the challenges of various SIEM use cases. Most importantly, we’ll discuss the new models actively replacing them. (No, they’re not branded as next-gen SIEMs) Tim MalcolmVetter has been alternating between blue team and red team roles for years. Moving between the two has had its advantages, giving Tim a better understanding of what works, what doesn’t and why.

A golden age is a time of great achievement in a society or industry — a time of innovation and the furthering of new ideas via new mediums or technological advancements. Email security is now entering a golden age after stagnating for the better part of a decade. Is it time to celebrate? Customers have more choice than ever when it comes to protecting how employees, customers, and partners communicate and collaborate. Often, those customers are choosing more than one email security partner in a layered or multilayer approach to protection, as it provides greater efficacy — and peace of mind. But is that sustainable in a consolidating market? Jess Burn, Senior Analyst from Forrester Research, joins us to discuss the results of The Forrester Wave on Enterprise Email Security for Q2 2023.

Securing data is hard. Business stops when data flows are hindered, stopped, sometimes even slowed. Placing controls around data traditionally leads to more friction and less productivity. Can it be a different story in the cloud? Today, we find out when we talk to Dan Benjamin about why he founded Dig and the space they're trying to fill in public cloud services. Paddy Harrington joins us from Forrester research to discuss his findings in this year's state of IoT security report. Computers have been shoved into anything and everything, both in the home and in the workplace.

Neither can a security program exist without interconnections and strong relationships to the rest of the business. Yet, over and over again I meet Security Leaders that thrive on designing security fiefdoms with large moats, and one bridge that they roll down only when they intend to roll out a new technology, initiative or need budget authority. There is no amount of authority or power that can provided to a CISO that makes he or she immunized against the need for communication, collaboration and diplomacy with peers, users and Senior Executives.   Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/esw for all the latest episodes!

Security is one of the most evolving and impactful landscapes in the regulatory sphere. Proposed initiatives in the areas of Incident Response, Software and Product Assurance, Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD), and IoT or Connected Products Regulations are among the most active and developing areas of security policy around the world. This evolving landscape also serves as an opportunity for innovation and research collaboration. Elazari will walk us through some of the most recent trends in policy proposals shaping the future of security. We will also talk about bug bounties and vulnerability disclosure, what are some of the industry's best practices in this area, how to implement these programs to foster security, collaboration and transparency, and how this connects to the policy momentum and its impact on security researchers.

This is the first interview in a two-part AI special! First up, we talk with Daniel Miessler, who has been following the generative AI trend very closely and is one of the most prolific writers and thought leaders on the topic. It's a massively divisive topic with the most successful product ever launched (ChatGPT). Some folks think it's overhyped, some think it's going to replace all the worst parts of the worst jobs, and others think it could be the beginning of the end for humanity. While other interviews on GenAI get deep into conversations on the future of humanity, we're going to stay closer to home on this one. It seems clear that GenAI will transform the enterprise more quickly than any other technology trend we've seen. We'll discuss what security needs to do to prepare for this shift, and why security teams should begin exploring GenAI themselves as soon as possible. Generative AI is taking the world by storm. Naturally, enterprises are looking for ways to integrate the innovative technology into their techstack, boost productivity of the knowledge workers and overall increase their ROI. The question is, how to do it without compromising data privacy and security standards of the enterprises. Segment Resources: https://zerosystems.com/ In this episode we briefly cover funding, and discuss Snyk's acquisition of Enso Security and Cisco's Armorblox buy. We discuss some new open source AI tools: privateGPT, llm, ttok, and strip-tags.

Check out this interview from the ASW VAULT, hand picked by main host Mike Shema! This segment was originally published on March 14, 2022. Cybersecurity is a large and often complex domain, traditionally focused on the infrastructure and general information security, with little or no attention to Application Security. Security providers usually tack-on AppSec services to their existing menu of offering without understanding the domain, and their team of professionals have little or no experience with software development or inner workings of modern application architectures. As the world turns Digital at a rapid pace accelerated by the recent pandemic, applications become common place in our lives, providing attackers more opportunities to exploit these poorly protected applications. As such, it is important to know what is actually required to build and run software securely, and how to do application security right.

On this edition of the ESW news, we're all over the place! Funding and acquisitions are a little sad right now, but AI and TikTok bans raise our spirits. The hosts are split on feelings about the new .zip gTLD, there's a new standard for scoring an "AI Influence Level" (AIL), and lessons learned from Joe Sullivan's case and other Uber breaches. Also, don't miss the new AI tool DragGAN, which enables near magical levels of ease when manipulating photos.   What's even real anymore? We might not be able to tell for long... The reality is no organization is insusceptible to a breach – and security teams, alongside the C-suite, should prepare now to make the response more seamless once a crisis does happen. Based on his experience working 1:1 with security leaders in the private and public sectors, Jon Check, executive director of Cyber Protection Solutions at Raytheon Intelligence & Space, will share the critical steps organizations must take to best prepare for a security breach. This segment is sponsored by Raytheon. Visit https://securityweekly.com/raytheonrsac to learn more about them!   While companies utilize dozens of security solutions, they continue to be compromised and are continually searching for their real cybersecurity gaps amongst the overload of vulnerability data. A primary issue security teams face is that they lack a way to continuously validate the effectiveness of the different security solutions they have in place. Automated Security Validation is revolutionizing cybersecurity by applying software validation algorithms, for what was once manual penetration testing jobs. It takes the attacker's perspective to challenge the integrity and resilience of security defenses by continuously emulating cyber attacks against them. This segment is sponsored by Pentera.

However, an internal threat can derail productivity and lead to human error and burnout: repetitive, mundane tasks.

The OWASP Top 10 dates back to 2003, when appsec was just settling on terms like cross-site scripting and SQL injection. It's a list that everyone knows about and everyone talks about.

What happens to an app's security after six months? What about a year or two years? A Secure SDLC needs to maintain security throughout an app's lifetime, but too often the rate of new flaws can outpace the rate of new code within an app. Appsec teams need strategies and processes to keep software secure for as long as possible. Segment Resources: https://www.veracode.com/state-of-software-security-report   Learn how hackers are exploiting the trust that mobile app owners place in their customers. Hackers are increasingly modifying app code, posing as trusted customers, and infiltrating IT infrastructure. This segment is sponsored by Verimatrix. Visit https://securityweekly.com/verimatrixrsac to learn more about them!   Unlike vulnerabilities, which can and do often exist for months or years in application code without being exploited, a malicious package represents an immediate threat to an organization, intentionally designed to do harm. In the war for cybersecurity, attackers are innovating faster than companies can keep up with the threats coming their way. A new approach is needed to stay ahead of the impacts of malicious packages within applications. Findings from our latest report "Malicious Packages Special Report: Attacks Move Beyond Vulnerabilities" illustrate the growing threat of malicious packages. From 2021 to 2022, the number of malicious packages published to npm and rubygems alone grew 315 percent. Mend.io technology detected thousands of malicious packages in existing code bases. The top four malicious package risk vectors were exfiltration, developer sabotage, protestware, and spam. Nearly 85 percent of malicious packages discovered in existing applications were capable of exfiltration – causing an unauthorized transmission of information. Threat actors leveraging this type of package can easily collect protected information before the package is discovered and removed. We’ll share why as long as open source means open, the door will be left open to bad actors, so it’s especially critical to know when things are being brought into your code. Malicious packages represent an immediate threat, unlike vulnerabilities, and can not be taken lightly. This segment is sponsored by Mend.io.

STM32 boards, soldering, decapping chips, RTOS development, lasers, multiple flippers and for what you ask? So I can be alerted about a device I already know is there. The Flipper Zero attracted the attention of news outlets and hackers alike as people have used it to gain access to restricted resources. Is the Flipper Zero that powerful that it needs to be banned? This is a journey of recursion and not taking “no” for an answer. Kailtyn Hendelman joins the PSW crew to discuss the Flipper Zero and using it to hack all the things.

We talk a lot about closing the skills gap, but it's harder said than done. So we thought we'd tackle the problem in our 2nd episode os Say Easy, Do Hard. Part 1 will discuss the skills needed, the requirements of the position, and the real qualifications for cybersecurity jobs. We will discuss the practical, realistic expectations of working in cybersecurity, not the hyped stereotypical positions.   After discussing the requirements for working in cybersecurity, part 2 will tackle where to find the talent. We will explore education, apprenticeships, mentorships, and training. We will also identify areas within the business that have resources with skills that are very complementary with cybersecurity that also make great recruiting areas.   Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/bsw for all the latest episodes!

Quantum computing is a rapidly emerging technology that harnesses the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that today’s most powerful supercomputers cannot practically solve. IBM's Dr. Kayla Lee will explain how close we are to a computational quantum advantage: the point where a computational task of business or scientific relevance can be performed more efficiently, cost-effectively, or accurately using a quantum computer than with classical computations alone.  Segment Resources: What is quantum computing? https://www.ibm.com/topics/quantum-computing About IBM Quantum: https://www.ibm.com/quantum About the IBM Quantum Development Roadmap: https://www.ibm.com/quantum/roadmap Access and program a quantum computer: https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/   Quantum computers are scaling rapidly. Soon, they will be powerful enough to solve previously unsolvable problems. But they come with a global challenge: fully-realized quantum computers will be able to break some of the most widely-used security protocols in the world. Dr. Vadim Lyubashevsky will discuss how quantum-safe cryptography protects against this potential future.

Application security in the cloud is a crucial aspect of protecting data and preventing unauthorized access to applications hosted on cloud platforms. As cloud computing becomes more prevalent, ensuring the security of applications has become a top priority for organizations. This is because cloud environments present unique security challenges, such as shared resources, multi-tenancy, and a lack of physical control. Therefore, it is essential to implement security measures that are specific to cloud-based applications.

We often see security as a thing that has definitive check boxes, end states and deliverables. Audits "end" and then start again, but if you are looking at security as a noun -- as in, a thing that gets done, you are falling short. Security must be a verb. You DO security, you do not HAVE security. Security weaves through every layer and goes beyond the IT assets or codebase. This includes: Guerrilla marketing of gaining end-user buy-in for initiatives Iterative tuning of your data sources Active engagement with real-time feedback from the user base and technical teams Threat- and risk-informed decisions need to be capable of adapting when things get turned upside down. You need to create a culture and the associated processes to look at security like you do. Security teams and roadmaps are designed to look (often myopically) at specific "deliverables" and not so much at the vital signs of the security ecosystem in any given moment (and what that looks like OVER TIME, not at a moment IN time).

The CI/CD pipeline is the backbone of the software development process, so it's critical to ensure you are meeting and exceeding the most critical security measures. Throughout this podcast, Tal Morgenstern, Co-founder and CSO of Vulcan Cyber, will break down the process of how organizations can properly secure a CI/CD pipeline into a checklist of four key steps, as well as offer a handful of tools and tactics security leadership can use to bake risk-based vulnerability management into their CI/CD pipelines. He will explain how securing your CI/CD pipelines alone is not enough to reduce the chances of cyber attacks and the importance for organizations to not only maintain security at speed and scale, but quality at speed and scale. Finally, Tal will dive into how Vulcan Cyber helps organizations to streamline security tasks in every stage of the cyber-risk management process, integrating with their existing tools for true end-to-end risk management.

It's another holiday week, so enjoy this episode from the ESW archives!   The cloud and SaaS were supposed to make things easier, simpler, more scalable. Arguably, they _have_ done all those things, but traditional, legacy networks linger. Migrations are messy and take time. Nearly everything is encrypted in transit by default. Today, we interview Marty Roesch, the creator of Snort and founder of SourceFire, to discuss how things have changed and what defenders can do to catch up and restore some order to the madness. We'll step through some history along the way - listeners might be surprised at how much our current situation mirrors the reasons behind why Marty created Snort in the first place.

Organizations today operate under the constant looming threat of cyber attacks. While reactive cybersecurity measures will help organizations respond to past and present threats, offensive measures are the only chance to get ahead of attackers and beat them to the punch. There is now a greater call for offensive solutions like penetration testing and red teaming to evaluate environments so security gaps can be identified and closed before a breach. Join us as we discuss how these solutions work both independently and together, as well as practical ways organizations can build or mature an offensive security strategy.  Segment Resources:  https://www.coresecurity.com/resources/videos/when-use-pen-testing-red-teaming-or-both?code=cmp-0000011540&ls=717710006&utm_source=hubspot&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=cts-security-weekly  https://www.coresecurity.com/resources/guides/complete-guide-layering-offensive-security?code=cmp-0000011540&ls=717710006&utm_source=hubspot&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=cts-security-weekly  https://www.coresecurity.com/resources/datasheets/offensive-security-advanced-bundle?code=cmp-0000011540&ls=717710006&utm_source=hubspot&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=cts-security-weekly   This segment is sponsored by Fortra.

Organizations spend hundreds of work hours to build applications and services that will benefit customers and employees alike. Whether the application/service is externally facing or for internal use only, it is mandatory to identify and understand the scope of potential cyber risks and threats it poses to the organization. But where and how do you start with an accurate threat model? Nick can discuss how to approach this and create a model that's useful to security and developers alike.

How do you manage the human side of cybersecurity? Traditionally, security awareness programs have checked this box from a compliance angle but had minimal impact on cyber risk. Human Risk Management (HRM) is transforming this space by connecting an integrated, data-driven approach with personalized security training to deliver quantifiable results. In this session, we'll define HRM, explore how it is being adopted, and review the business case supporting the change.   This segment is sponsored by Living Security.

Most of the myths and lies in InfoSec take hold because they seem correct or sound logical. Similar cognitive biases make it possible for even the most preposterous conspiracy theories to become commonly accepted in some groups. This is a talk about the importance of critical thinking and checking sources in InfoSec. Our industry is relatively new and constantly changing. Too often, we operate more off faith and hope than fact or results. Exhausted and overworked defenders often don't have the time to seek direct evidence for claims, question sources, or test theories for themselves.

Cyber insurance is a must-have, but organizations are finding that cyber insurance premiums are more costly, policies are more difficult to obtain, and policies attach more limitations and exclusions than before. We will discuss cyber insurance’s role in risk management and trends.   Segment Resources: https://www.forrester.com/report/q-and-a-cyber-insurance/RES178563?ref_search=3185990_1675109251447 https://www.forrester.com/report/tech-execs-guide-to-cyber-insurance/RES178564?ref_search=3185990_1675109251447 https://www.forrester.com/blogs/whos-responsible-for-cyber-insurance-policy-misrepresentations-it-depends/?ref_search=3185990_1675109251447   Insiders - employees, contractors, and partners - are responsible for almost a quarter of data breaches.

In a recent survey on purple teaming, 89 percent of respondents who had used the method deemed purple teaming activities “very important” to their security operations. Purple teaming exercises conducted regularly have the power to improve collaboration across teams, ensure issues are identified and remediated more proactively, and provide a means to measure progress over time. With all these benefits, why isn’t everyone doing it? Purple teaming doesn’t have to be such a heavy lift. With the right mindset and tools, any team can get started regardless of resources. This talk will highlight practical tips for getting started with purple teaming exercises and show off PlexTrac Runbooks, a platform designed to plan, execute, report, and remediate collaborative purple teaming engagements so teams can maximize their efforts and improve their security posture.   Segment Resources: Learn more and book a demo: https://plextrac.com/securityweekly More information on Runbooks: https://plextrac.com/platform/runbooks/   This segment is sponsored by PlexTrac.

There's a LOT of noise in the security industry. We've catalogued over 10,000 cybersecurity products and each of the companies behind these products has a marketing team, a twitter account, a blog, and a ton of content to blast at enterprise security buyers. There's an interesting connection between GreyNoise's product, founder, and principles. While building a product that filtered out the noise that wastes most security operations teams' time, Andrew was dead set against building a startup that resembled the typical security startup. We'll discuss Andrew's unique path to market, the latest features of GreyNoise, and where the lines are drawn between malicious and benign scanning.    Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/esw264   Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/esw for all the latest episodes!

If you’ve ever worked on a red or purple team, you know scaling engagements to production is an intensive, unwieldy process.

This framework is defining, aligning, and addressing the specific concerns and risks that stand in the way of organizations’ trusting suppliers, supplies, and service offerings. More importantly, the framework offers a comprehensive, consistent, and repeatable methodology – for evaluating suppliers, supplies, and service offerings alike – that is based on decades of supply chain security experience, deep insights into the complex challenges facing the procurement and operations communities, and broad knowledge of the relevant standards and community best practices.

Despite certain economic indicators warning that a recession is on the horizon, investment remains healthy within the security market amid thirst for cloud security, in particular. One such emerging field is data security posture management (DSPM), which aims to bridge the gap between business goals and a comprehensive security mechanism that leaves no data behind as organizations scale in the cloud.   A deep-rooted cyber security culture is crucial, and it goes as far back as the hiring process… 10 years ago, a typical hiring process consisted of working your way through a checklist, hiring individuals based solely on a CV. Today, the ‘Simon Sinek’ culture is gaining more prevalence, with employers realizing that hiring the right person, rather than the CV, can have immeasurable benefits for business. Ryan will talk about why this is particularly true within the cyber security sphere, and why business leaders should follow this particular ‘Simon Sinek’ strategy to build a successful security operation, and secure business, starting directly with the human’s that run it. You will walk away from this session knowing why it is important to employ the right individual rather than the CV, and how adopting this approach can drastically improve how a business responds to and manages security threats, company wide.

Crossing tenants with AWS AppSync, more zeros in C++ to defeat vulns, HTTP/3 connection contamination, Thinkst Quarterly review of research, building a research team   MongoDB recently announced the industry’s first encrypted search scheme using breakthrough cryptography engineering called Queryable Encryption. This technology gives developers the ability to query encrypted sensitive data in a simple and intuitive way without impacting performance, with zero cryptography experience required. Data remains encrypted at all times on the database, including in memory and in the CPU; keys never leave the application and cannot be accessed by the database server. While adoption of cloud computing continues to increase, many organizations across healthcare, financial services, and government are still risk-averse. They don’t want to entrust another provider with sensitive workloads. This encryption capability removes the need to ever trust an outside party with your data. This end-to-end client-side encryption uses novel encrypted index data structures in such a way that for the first time, developers can run expressive queries on fully encrypted confidential workloads. Queryable Encryption is based on well-tested and established standard NIST cryptographic primitives to provide strong protection from attacks against the database, including insider threats, highly privileged administrators and cloud infrastructure staff. So even another Capital One type breach is not possible.

Don’t leave the door open. Modern systems are complex and require you to consider many aspects. Here are some aspects we consider critical: - APIs are the dominant software development direction/trend. Traditional/legacy ways to grant access is not fit for purpose of protecting this new way of delivering products and services. - Customers are demanding better digital experiences.

Every penetration test should have specific goals. Coverage of the MITRE ATT&CK framework or the OWASP Top Ten is great, but what other value can a pentest provide by shifting your mindset further left or with a more strategic approach? How often do you focus on the overall ROI of your penetration testing program? This talk will explore what it means to “shift left” with your penetration testing by working on a threat informed test plan. Using a threat informed test plan will provide more value from your pentesting program and gain efficiency in your security testing pipeline. This talk applies to both consultants and internal security teams.

So how does a SOC maximize its most valuable asset–the humans–in combination with technology to overachieve? This talk will teach you a new way to model out your team's resources, assets, and capabilities to defend against various levels of adversaries to determine where you have operational capability, where you have gaps, and how to tell the difference.
