Paul's Security Weekly

Dave DeWalt needs no introduction. A four-time CEO and currently the Founder and CEO of NightDragon, Dave collects, analyses, and disseminates more intelligence on the cybersecurity industry in a year than most of us ever will in a lifetime. We've invited Dave to Business Security Weekly to share some of that intelligence with our audience. Specifically, we'll hear about: The evolving threat landscape, including impacts of Artificial Intelligence The latest cybersecurity innovation, including what's working and what's NOT working The impact of budgets on buying decisions, including whether "best of breed" is dead in lieu of platforms Tune in for this insightful discussion before you make your next strategic cybersecurity decisions. Piggybacking off of our interview with Dave DeWalt, Tom Parker from Hubble joins Business Security Weekly to discuss a few of the key trends CISOs should be paying attention to. Yes, we'll cover Artificial Intelligence, but more from a business risk and governance perspective. We

In this interview, we talk to Rod Simmons, the VP of Product Strategy at Omada. We'll discuss the complex topic of securing identities against ever growing threats. We'll discuss challenges like unnecessary access, accounts with too many permissions, and a threat landscape that is increasingly finding success from targeting identities. Finally, we'll discuss where the Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) market is going. Segment Resources: Analyst Report: The State of Identity Governance 2024 We don't cover a lot of stories in this week's episode, but we go deep on a few important ones. I'm biased, but I think it's a good one, especially having Darwin's input and encyclopedic knowledge available to us. Also in this week's news: Homomorphic encryption pops up again!

When you think of executive protection, you think of work related activities such as security details, travel planning, and other physical security protections. But in the world of Artificial Intelligence and DeepFakes, the risk landscape for executives goes far beyond work and into their personal lives. The home is now the new battle field and family life will never be the same. Chris Pierson, CEO at BlackCloak, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss the changes in the risk landscape for executives, including Generative AI, and its impacts on social engineering, personal attacks, and family threats. Executive protection must now include digital protection, both at work and at home. This segment is sponsored by BlackCloak. Visit https://securityweekly.com/blackcloak to learn more about them!

A majority of internet traffic now originates from APIs, and cybercriminals are taking advantage. Increasingly, APIs are used as a common attack vector because they’re a direct pathway to access sensitive data. In this discussion, Lebin Cheng shares what API attack trends Imperva, a Thales Company has observed over the past year, and what steps organizations can take to protect their APIs.

Defenders spend a lot of time and money procuring and implementing security controls. At the heart of SecOps and the SOC are technologies like XDR, SIEM, and SOAR. How do we know these technologies are going to detect or prevent attacks? Wait for the annual pen test? Probably not a good idea. In this segment, we'll talk with Michael Mumcuoglu about how MITRE's ATT&CK framework can help defenders better prepare for inevitable attack TTPs they'll have knocking on their doors.

Public information about exploits and vulnerabilities alone is not enough to inform prioritization, especially with the growing rate and variety of CVEs. Dan DeCloss, founder and CTO of PlexTrac, joins the show to discuss solving the challenges of risk prioritization to drive faster, more strategic assessment cycles. Spoiler: The key is adding context and prioritization to risk-scoring equations.   Segment Resources: https://plextrac.com/get-ready-to-prioritize-risk-with-our-new-contextual-scoring-engine/?utm_medium=tech_ptr&utm_source=security_weekly  https://plextrac.com/video/priorities/?utm_medium=tech_ptr&utm_source=security_weekly  This segment is sponsored by PlexTrac.

The need for vuln management programs has been around since the first bugs -- but lots of programs remain stuck in the past. We talk about the traps to avoid in VM programs, the easy-to-say yet hard-to-do foundations that VM programs need, and smarter ways to approach vulns based in modern app development. We also explore the ecosystem of acronyms around vulns and figure out what's useful (if anything) in CVSS, SSVC, EPSS, and more.

The SEC's new cyber reporting requirements are forcing organizations to rethink their compliance and risk programs. No longer can compliance and risk be static, point in time assessments. Instead they need to match the speed of security which is dynamic and real-time. Couple the difference in speeds with whistleblowers and attack groups reporting non-compliance with the new SEC rules and organizations find themselves in a regulatory nightmare. Igor Volovich, VP of Compliance Strategy for Cyber Compliance at Qmulos, joins BSW to share his "Notes from the battlefield" on how automation is the only way to effectively converge security, risk, and compliance into a dynamic, real-time discipline.

Pascal Geenens from Radware joins us to discuss the latest research findings relating to hacktivists an other actors using volumetric and other network-based attacks. We'll discuss everything from the current state of DDoS attacks to use in the military and even the impact of cyberattacks on popular culture! You can find the report Pascal mentions here, on Radware's website: https://www.radware.com/threat-analysis-report/ In this week's news segment, we discuss the lack of funding announcements, and the potential effect RSA could have on the timing of all sorts of press releases. We also discuss 1Password's potential future with its sizable customer base and the $620M it raised a few years back. Some other topics we discuss: NIST CSF 2.0 insider threats Ivanti Pulse Secure's appliance software found to be running positively ancient software (11 year old Linux distro, 5-20+ year old libraries & components) Nevada AG trying to get messaging decrypted for children, to "protect them" Kelly Shortridge's respo

Farshad Abasi joins us again to talk about creating a new OWASP project, the Secure Pipeline Verification Standard. (Bonus points for not being a top ten list!) We talk about what it takes to pitch a new project and the problems that this new project is trying to solve. For this kind of project to be successful -- as in making a positive impact to how software is built -- it's important to not only identify the right audience, but craft guidance in a way that's understandable and achievable for that audience. This is also a chance to learn more about a project in its early days and the opportunities for participating in its development!

Released on January 26, 2023, the NIST AI RMF Framework was developed through a consensus-driven, open, transparent, and collaborative process that included a Request for Information, several draft versions for public comments, multiple workshops, and other opportunities to provide input. It is intended to build on, align with, and support AI risk management efforts by others. Padraic O'Reilly, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at CyberSaint, joins BSW to discuss why AI risks are a unique challenge and how they can impact both organizations and society. Without proper controls, AI systems can amplify, perpetuate, or exacerbate inequitable or undesirable outcomes for individuals and communities. With proper controls, AI systems can mitigate and manage inequitable outcomes. This segment is sponsored by CyberSaint . Visit https://securityweekly.com/cybersaint to learn more about them!
