Paul's Security Weekly

Without visibility and continuous monitoring, dangerous threats expose our blind spots and create risk. Invicti, who brought together Acunetix and Netsparker, analyzes common web application vulns across thousands of assets yearly and releases the Invicti AppSec Indicator for a holistic view of vulnerability trends from automated scan results. In this talk, Invicti Director of Product Patrick Vandenberg shares a deep dive into the trends currently impacting AppSec programs and discusses some of the best practices that will help organizations achieve efficiencies in their programs.

In a tight economy, security budgets have been under scrutiny. Vendor consolidation strategies are real, but what are the pros and cons of this strategy?

Emilie comes on the show to talk about penetration testing and share her knowledge and stories! In the Security News: There is no national cyber director, time to move away from MoveIT, update Microsoft IIS at least every 6 years, your security system is not secure, for that matter neither is your smart pet feeder, identity management is hard, at least for some, spies using spy gadgets to spy on spies, go ahead and just replace your hardware, secure boot is hard, bypassing the BIOS password (but don’t try this at home, or work for that matter), Rob shaved his beard, what’s new in PCI (drink, are we still drinking on PCI? If so, drink again), if your firmware isn’t patched, no cloud updates for you, and Gigabyte has a backdoor! Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/psw for all the latest episodes!

Check out this interview from the ESW Vault, hand picked by main host Adrian Sanabria! This segment was originally published on September 29, 2021.   No Man is an Island. 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.

The WAF has a relatively long history with InfoSec. A few years back, we saw the traditional architecture separated by new technologies and philosophies on the best way to detect and stop web-borne attacks. In this episode with Daniel Corbett, we'll take a deep dive into the latest on WAF capabilities, what it means to be 'next-gen' in the WAF world, and how LLM AI like ChatGPT could influence the attacks we see (and have to defend against) in the near future. Explore the rapidly-evolving landscape of Managed Detection and Response (MDR) with insights from Sophos, a pioneering MDR provider.

The Gartner definition of integrated risk management is a set of practices and processes supported by a risk-aware culture and enabling technologies, that improves decision making and performance through an integrated view of how well an organization manages its unique set of risks. Enterprises typically have a broad coverage of the risks that face the business including cybersecurity risk, however, its 2023 and after more than a decade of requiring training compliance for our people, the Verizon DBIR reports this year that 74% of breaches involved human error. It's clear that compliance is not the answer for where to include the human in an IRM strategy, so what's next?

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 th

The American Data Privacy and Protection Act introduces oversight of how companies handle the data they collect and process from U.S. citizens, including AI algorithms used to uncover insights that can be monetized. Security professionals should prepare now for the legislation by understanding how to audit algorithms and implement compliance processes.
