Enterprise Security Weekly (Video)

This week, we discuss Island's raise, unicorn status, and what that means for both the enterprise browser market and the cybersecurity market in general. We discuss Censys and the state of the external attack surface management market, or what they're trying to call, "exposure management". We discuss the details of the Okta breach in depth, and why we're worried about the larger impact it could have on the industry and vendor trust in general. Finally, we wrap up with some fun squirrel stories. Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/esw-337

In the age of remote and hybrid work, employees are now spending most of their time in the browser or virtual meetings, making the browser an increasingly important part of an enterprise's security strategy. According to Gartner, "By 2030, enterprise browsers will be the core platform for delivering workforce productivity and security software on managed and unmanaged devices for a seamless hybrid work experience."

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.

As long as there are profits to be made, cybercriminals will continue to monetize enterprise assets—whether they be devices, applications, data, or users. It only takes one weak or unknown asset to compromise an entire organization. Brian will discuss why enterprises need to move away from assumption-based approaches to asset data and decision making to evidence-based asset intelligence to secure their environments quickly, easily, and at scale.

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.

If you've ever played Dungeons & Dragons, you probably know that the quality of the experience depends on how prepared, experienced, and talented the Dungeon Master is. Today, we'll talk to InfoSec DM and practitioner extraordinaire Ryan Fried about some of the key elements that separate a good cybersecurity tabletop exercise from a bad one!

Forrester Research releases a few annual reoccurring cybersecurity reports, but one of the biggest that covers the most ground is the Security Risk Planning Guide, which was recently released for 2024. One of the report's 17 authors, and research director, Merritt Maxim, will walk us through the report's most interesting insights and highlights. This is going to be considerably interesting considering some of this year's trends impacting security teams: An economic downturn, resulting in layoffs and budget freezes The widespread proliferation of generative AI technology The relentless and resilient nature of cybercrime, despite some notable law enforcement wins Ongoing discussion about the role and relevance of SOCs, CISO's, as well as the security department place in today's enterprise Increased enterprise reliance on SaaS and Cloud, as vendors and service providers continue to struggle with securing their products and services Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/esw-332

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. Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/esw-331

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.

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.

During this segment, Jon will explore today's ransomware economy players from IABS to RaaS affiliates, to money launders and now C2Ps. For the discussion, Jon will leverage Halcyon's latest research, which demonstrates a new technique to uncover how C2Ps, like Cloudzy, are used to identify upcoming ransomware campaigns and other advanced attacks. The research revealed that Cloudzy, knowingly or not, provided services to attackers while assuming a legitimate business profile. Threat actors that leveraged Cloudzy include APT groups tied to the Chinese, Iranian, North Korean, Russian, Indian, Pakistani, and Vietnamese governments; a sanctioned Israeli spyware vendor whose tools are known to target civilians; several criminal syndicates and ransomware affiliates whose campaigns have spurred international headlines.

SIEM vendors have taken advantage of these InfoSec data hoarding tendencies, however, and are making a killing charging a premium for storage - even when the storage in question is your own on-prem hardware.
