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.

This week in the Security News: GetVariable strikes again, attackers could blow up your computer remotely, escaping containers, null-dereferences and faulty evaluations, 31 new CPU vulnerabilities for AMD, a look into Chrome, santa, not-so-secure secure booting, and malware included! Open source is the bedrock of most of the world's software today, so how to raise the floor on software quality across the industry? First, we need better tools to measure the trustworthiness of code based on objective measures, processes that encourage better security practices by developers, and tools and processes that encourage teamwork and shared responsibility for security. Several efforts are underway in major open source communities to address these issues. At the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF), major companies, open source software maintainers, startup companies and government actors are working together to improve open source software supply chain security. Brian will share his view of this landscape, detail the work being done at the OpenSSF, show where those efforts are already bearing fruit, and demonstrate what you and your organization can (must!) do to participate in these efforts.

Over the last few years, the trend to use Open Source has been migrating into safety-critical applications, such as automotive and medical, which introduces system-level analysis considerations. In a similar fashion, these components are now being considered for the evolution of critical infrastructure systems. In the US, security concerns have prompted some emerging best practices, such as increased transparency of components, via software bill of materials (SBOMs), but this is not the only aspect to keep in mind.

This session explores software supply chain security and the details of System of Trust, a community effort to develop and validate a process for integrating evidence of the organizational, technical, and transactional trustworthiness of supply chain elements for decision makers dealing with supply chain security. 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.

While we most likely do not believe that penetration testing is dead it continues to evolve over time. What do penetration tests look like today? Have they become more or less specialized? What is the continuing value of penetration testing? With development and IT moving so fast, how have penetration tests adapted? This discussion will dive into the details of penetration testing today and provide you with a guide to make the most of this activity. Without question, we need more people working in cybersecurity today. Our culture has come a long way to be more open and inviting to new folks, but we still have a lot of work to do. What can you do if you want to break into the field of cybersecurity today? While there is no shortage of resources our experienced hosts will offer their thoughts, opinions, and advice on how you can become the next cybersecurity pro! How well do you know your hacker history and trivia? See how you compare to our hosts as we tackle hacker trivia live on the air!

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.
