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.

This is the Hacker Culture Roundtable discussion from the Security Weekly Christmas podcast marathon and features almost all of our hosts and special guests. Hacking is a term used to describe the activity of modifying a product or procedure to alter its normal function, or to fix a problem. The term purportedly originated in the 1960s, when it was used to describe the activities of certain MIT model train enthusiasts who modified the operation of their model trains. They discovered ways to change certain functions without re-engineering the entire device. These curious individuals went on to work with early computer systems where they applied their curiosity and resourcefulness to learning and changing the computer code that was used in early programs. To the general public, a "hack" became known as a clever way to fix a problem with a product, or an easy way to improve its function.

According to Gartner, 70% of businesses are adopting a hybrid cloud and multi-cloud strategy to augment their internal data centers. The challenges of protecting data and using encryption for multiple hybrid, public cloud, and on-premises environments increases complexity, cost, and security risk. As workloads and sensitive data move to the cloud, keeping cryptographic keys, shared secrets and tokens secure is critical to secure public cloud deployments and successful digital transformation.

Emerging technologies such as Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality are inevitably gaining momentum and helping businesses gain competitive advantage. These technological advancements are giving rise to digital transformation as well as digital risks. The bigger question is who will protect these technologies. While the world is catching up on the business aspects and the real use cases, Silicon Valley startups are already gearing up to combat the risks born alongside emerging tech's benefits. The Valley companies are utilizing the same technologies to combat the associated risks. My Quest to protect these Brave New Virtual Worlds has taken me around the world and connected me to the geniuses at Wallarm.

It's often said that attackers need only to get it right once, where defenders have to be right all of the time. Those of us who have worked in a security role as a defender know we don't always get it right, in fact, there are often many exposures in our defenses. This segment will aim to help defenders learn tactics and techniques that are effective and try to answer some of the following questions: - How do you prioritize your defensive efforts? - How do you best detect attacks? - How do you best protect against attacks? - We always say "patch your stuff" but how often should you patch? Which systems should you patch? - What techniques work best to defend against email phishing? - How do you provide a "good enough" level of security for your Active Directory? - What are the fundamentals of defense?
