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.

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. To maintain a competitive edge and drive brand loyalty businesses need to provide great online experiences.
- Standards (such as OAuth and OpenID Connect) are important to ensure high-security levels. Also enables scalability and helps future-proof your infrastructure. For example in the financial sector, these standards play a key role in the drive toward open banking.
- A modern architecture is a zero trust architecture. In a zero trust architecture, the new perimeter hinges on identity.

Cybersecurity is now battling a human problem just as much, if not more, than a technical one. According to Verizon’s 2021 Data Breach Security Report, 85% of successful cyberattacks now involve a human element. Combine that with the fact that even the very best technology can only thwart about 93% of attacks and that leaves a large hole in an organization’s basic security hygiene. This has led to a growing demand for ongoing educational programs that rely on behavioral science to measure and manage cybersecurity risk as a distinctly different solution from generic, one-size-fits-all training programs.
In the enterprise security news, SentinelOne and Crowdstrike reinvest in the security market, Malwarebytes raises $100M, Ox Security raises a $34M Seed round??? Jamf acquires ZecOps, New startups looking to improve Code Reviews…Outsource questionnaires…provide consumer privacy awareness…Federal security funding for state and local governments, New software supply chain attacks, Microsoft Windows slaps your hand when you try to update passwords.txt, and stick around until the end, when we talk about a New Jersey Deli with a $100M market cap!

Security training isn't just about anti-phishing and security awareness for employees.

From its origins a decade ago, the grassroots movement to enshrine in law the right to repair our stuff (read: cell phones, laptops, home appliances, cars, machinery) has morphed into a potent, global movement. Today, much of the debate over right to repair laws has focused on issues like concentrations of market power by large corporations and anti-competitive behavior with regard to service and repair of "smart," connected products. However, there is a less-discussed but equally potent argument in favor of repair: cybersecurity and data privacy. In this conversation, Paul Roberts, the founder of SecuRepairs.org (pron: Secure Repairs), talks about the dire state of device security on the Internet of Things and how efforts by manufacturers to limit access to software updates, diagnostic tools and parts exacerbates IoT cyber risk, even as it burdens consumers and the environment.

The new category of Data Security Posture Management, what is it and why it's important. Discussing real customer stories where DSPM products played a critical role in helping companies secure their data.
Since the dawn of the internet, companies have been fighting cyber vulnerabilities with a myriad of traditional technologies. And assigning cybersecurity training to people without really knowing its effectiveness or being able to tell the difference between knowledge and behavior. This is why AwareGO created the Human Risk Assessment. Designed by behavioral and cybersecurity experts, it allows organizations to measure human risk and resilience across a number of critical cybersecurity threat vectors. It measures cyber risks connected to social media that are not only personal but can affect the workplace as well. It helps assess awareness of secure password handling with multiple interactive experiences and situations. And it allows you to discover how employees would deal with tricky situations around the workplace, such as tailgating and shouldersurfing …. and issues related to remote work. All in a safe and friendly environment. After completing the assessment employees get individualized results with an explanation of what they did right and what they could have done better. This offers guidance and a chance to learn. The overall results help organizations gather actionable insights and make informed decisions about their security strategy. The Human Risk Assessment works as a stand alone product but its flexibility allows integration into existing platforms. When combined with AwareGO’s live action training content it can bring your organization’s cyber resilience to the next level.

In 2023, at least five new “rights-based” data privacy laws will become enforceable in the United States at the state level, including the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Common to all of these laws are information security requirements, including the need for risk assessments and the need for authenticating data access requests. In this podcast we’ll speak with an information security legal veteran on what these new laws mean for cybersecurity professionals and their data protection programs.

This week, we start off the show by welcoming Ryan Fried to discuss how Security analysts can move past traditional Indicators of Compromise from threat intel like domains, hashes, URLs, and IP addresses. These indicators typically aren't valid shortly after the incidents happen. Modern threat hunting by doing things like reading recent and relevant security articles, pull out behaviors that attackers are doing like commands such as net group "domain admins" or RDPing from workstation to workstation and translating those to threat hunting queries. Then, Joeseph Carson joins to discuss following in the footsteps of an attacker and uncovering their digital footprints, this episode will uncover an attacker’s techniques used and how they went from zero to full domain admin compromise, which resulted in a nasty ransomware incident. It will also cover general lessons learned from Ransomware Incident Response.

Zoom brings end-to-end encryption to its cloud phone service, npm says FINE, we’ll add some security, Kaseya’s CEO is just, telling it like it is, man. The problem must be with you. A robot attacks a child, time to add EMP grenades to your EDC! All that and more!
In order to run a successful SOC, security leaders rely on tools with different strengths to create layers of defense. This has led to a highly siloed industry with over 2,000 vendors, each with their own specific function and who very seldom work together. To gain an advantage on attackers, we need to start seeing cybersecurity as a team sport––united for a shared mission. In this session, ExtraHop's Jamie Moles and CrowdStrike's Dixon Styres discuss why and how vendors should work together to enable better integrated security for their customers. They'll share their joint philosophy toward an ecosystem approach to security and will show off some of the specific capabilities of the integration between ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 and CrowdStrike Falcon in a live demo.

Heightened emotions, demands for updates, not knowing how bad things might be...
Incident response isn’t easy, but practice and the right tools can make it a whole lot less stressful. Some regulations like PCI require annual IR tests, but is that enough? Imagine playing a sport where the team meets for one half-hearted practice once a year. How would that team perform under pressure? How would they communicate?
Say this sports analogy has convinced you – the IR team should practice more and should practice effectively. Questions still remain – how often? Are tabletops enough, or are live exercises and simulations necessary? We’ll aim to answer these questions and more during this interview with Tim and Paul from Tanium.

There are a few IETF standards that make the identity world go 'round. SAML, FIDO and LDAP are ones that we know and love... but there's one particularly un-loved standard that is the glue between most identity systems -- cloud and on-prem -- out there. It's called SCIM and -- good news -- smart people are working on improving this 10+ year old standard. Big changes coming, and here to talk with us about it is Paul Lanzi...

Sick Codes hacked all four John Deere Telematics Gateway's, and the John Deere Gen4 Series Display. Without those, it's "just a tractor." However, this is Critical Infrastructure. In fact, without Tractors, Combines & Implements: farmers cannot plant, spray or harvest. No raw materials == no food & alcohol. You will see how long I persisted over multiple months, to gain access and was able to hack these devices to the absolute binary core, warts & all. What was the bounty? Source Code, Root File Systems, FPGA compiled binaries, the works. Agricultural Security is a serious issue. Multiple ransomware attacks last year showed exactly how destructive attacks on Food & Agriculture are, and how fragile the supply chain is.

Merritt Maxim discusses the latest trends on identity access and how organizations should tackle the ever expanding user security challenges.
Connected devices outnumber us humans two to one, a ratio that is on an accelerating growth curve. Risks associated with device counterfeiting and cyberattacks is also growing rapidly and now represent very real real risks to economies, national security, our critical infrastructure, and our very lives. One necessary component for addressing this threat is establishing a verifiable and immutable device identification and lifecycle reporting system.

Two important shifts over the last two years transformed what we once knew as an on-premise ecosystem into a global system accessible from anywhere. One is remote work, which began as a temporary measure to get us through the early days of the pandemic and has since become the norm. The other is cloud adoption, which was mainstream even before the pandemic, but has seen another bump in the last two years. As a result, the internet has become the new corporate network. Where do we go from here? This segment is sponsored by Perimeter 81. Visit https://securityweekly.com/perimeter81 to learn more about them!
