In this episode of Paul's Security Weekly, we will dive into the recently published MITRE ATT&CK second-round evaluation based on APT29. While MITRE does not declare a "winner," stressing that the results enable users to make informed decisions on what tools meet their needs, It's notable how many vendors claimed victory shortly after the results were published. We will discuss how organizations can interpret the results relative to their own security strategy using the free and open ATT&CK visualization dashboard developed by Elastic. And, since the ATT&CK framework is built to help defenders find the gaps in their security visibility, we will also cover the importance of looking at data beyond the endpoint to develop a comprehensive, extended detection and response position.

Jeremy Miller, a former Green Beret and current CEO of Lionfish Cyber Security, will discuss how mission set tactics used by Special Forces can be applied directly to the cyber war being waged today. These mission sets are very relevant for the front line of cybersecurity professionals, who are the next generation of Special Operation forces. These are the men and women that protect our country, our businesses and our families. Approaching the cyber war with this mindset, Miller is re-aligning how cybersecurity in small to medium sized businesses is structured. His team plans to be a force multiplier for SMBs by bundling resources and capabilities into an affordable security platform, making cyber security more a strength than a weakness for these organizations.

Steven Bay has over 16 years of cybersecurity experience, spanning the military, government, consulting, and enterprise security. For 10 of those years, he supported the National Security Agency both as a member of the military and a contractor. In 2013 he hired Edward Snowden to a contract position in Hawaii and was his manager when Snowden fled the country with top-secret NSA data.

At Carnegie Mellon University we are designing a usable security and privacy label for smart devices to help consumers make informed choices about Internet of Things device purchases and encourage manufacturers to disclose their privacy and security practices. The label includes information on privacy and security practices of the smart device, such as the type of data the device collects and whether or not the device gets automatic security updates. Based on research with both consumers and experts, we have designed a two-layer label that includes a simple, understandable primary layer for consumers and a more detailed secondary layer that includes information important to experts.
