Ep 267CISO Stories Recounted By The World's First CISO | A Conversation With Steve Katz | The Business of Security | Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin and Marco Ciappelli
Episode Originally Aired Aug 2020: Officially granted the title within a company in 1995, the CISO role is relatively new in Infosec's grand scheme. Since this first attribution, many have taken the job - and the reigns - to shape and define the responsibilities, but it looks like it is still a work in progress. With each step comes new challenges, new paths, new opportunities.Steve Katz is the one and only that can actually claim to hold the very first title - and have had, arguably, the most impact on shaping the role ever since. We were lucky to have the honor and pleasure to chat with him in this Episode of A CISO Story — and what a story it is. Well, so many stories, in fact, that we might have lost count on the way.Together we spent time remembering the past, evaluating the present, and envisioning the future of this role and its deep-rooted connections to the business for which it is its mission is to protect — as much as possible. Because one point that rings clear from this conversation is that "a CISO cannot aim to prevent risk but reduce it."With 25 years of history, are businesses making the most of the role, or are their expectations missing the mark? And, perhaps more importantly, what does the future hold for the CISO?What if we needed not just one CISO in a company?Yes, how about that?Does the First CISO think that there will be a Last CISO?Guest(s)Steve Katz, The First CISO*Disclosure: He didn't self-proclaim the title himself 😬This Episode’s Sponsors:RSA Security: https://itspm.ag/itsprsawebFor more podcast stories from The Business Of Security: https://www.itspmagazine.com/the-business-of-securityAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Guest: Joe Sulllivan, CEO at Ukraine Friends [@UkraineFriends_]On Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/joesu11ivan/At Black Hat Europe | https://www.blackhat.com/eu-23/briefings/schedule/speakers.html#joe-sullivan-47056____________________________Hosts: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber]On ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/sean-martinMarco Ciappelli, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining Society PodcastOn ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/marco-ciappelli____________________________Episode NotesMost of the time, for these event coverage conversations, we get to connect with keynote speakers to learn more about the topic they plan to share at the event. During our conversation with Joe Sullivan, we did that ... and so, so much more.We talk about Joe's role in prosecuting cyber crime—and the ironic twist where he was charged and convicted as the former CISO at Uber. We touch on Tim Brown's situation with the SEC as a result of the SolarWinds Breach. And then Joe takes this conversation to the stratosphere to shed some light on the trends he is seeing, the rise in the pressure for the role and the rise in the temperature across the CISO community. He discusses the challenges the CISO role continues to face, and how the growing fear of personal liability as a result of the conflict between the public and private sectors could ultimately ice the role and make it ineffective. Joe wants to change this, is leveraging Black Hat, ITSPmagazine, and other outlets to do so. But he needs the community's help as well.Tune in to this (dare we say, approaching emotional) conversation to hear about Joe's journey and all the things he is doing to help keep the CISO role safe and successful. And, most importantly, how you—a security professional that cares about good winning over evil—can join yet another fight for good.About Joe's Keynote at Black Hat Europe 2023 in London, England—'My Lessons from the Uber Case': In a case closely watched and debated by security professionals globally, Joe Sullivan was convicted of two felonies related to a security incident at Uber that the company had labeled a coverup when it fired him. The decision reverberated throughout the security community, but still left many unanswered questions. Before the judge sentenced him, Sullivan committed that he would speak wherever possible about the need for a better model for collaboration between the private sector and government. The judge rejected the claims by the prosecutors and Uber that the use of an NDA during the investigation was a coverup, and sentenced Sullivan to probation only.Today, Sullivan mentors security leaders and consults on security best practices, in addition to serving as volunteer CEO of the nonprofit humanitarian relief organization Ukraine Friends. In a candid conversation, Sullivan will share the lessons he hopes security professionals all learn from his case, so that they, their team, and their company don't ever go through anything similar. He will also make suggestions for how the private sector and government can better collaborate and share other insights about the high-stakes pressures on security executives in an era of unrelenting breaches, ransomware, and automated attacks.____________________________ResourcesMy Lessons from the Uber Case: https://www.blackhat.com/eu-23/briefings/schedule/index.html#my-lessons-from-the-uber-case-36399Black Hat Executive Summit: https://www.blackhat.com/eu-23/executive-summit.htmlLearn more about Black Hat Europe 2023: https://www.blackhat.com/eu-23/____________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelBlack Hat Europe 2023 playlist: 📺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllQXpNVL6L8zfXXDip7JtQY1Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist: 📺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllS9aVGdiakVss9u7xgYDKYqITSPmagazine YouTube Channel: 📺 https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!Are you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Guest: Allyn Stott, Senior Staff EngineerOn LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/whyallyn/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/whyallynOn Mastodon | https://infosec.exchange/@whyallynAt Black Hat Europe | https://www.blackhat.com/eu-23/briefings/schedule/speakers.html#allyn-stott-42433____________________________Hosts: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber]On ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/sean-martin____________________________Episode NotesIn this episode of the ITSPmagazine On Location Event Coverage series, host Sean Martin engages in a thought-provoking conversation with guest Allyn Stott, a seasoned cybersecurity professional and senior staff engineer. The discussion orbits around the challenges and solutions in building a modern detection response program.Allyn shares his unique perspective on why blue teams often fail. He suggests that the failure is not due to a lack of technical skills, but rather a lack of a broader strategy and understanding of the overall detection response program. He emphasizes the importance of integrating the detection response team into broader business conversations, thereby fostering a more holistic approach to managing risk.The conversation also explores the role of threat intelligence and the need for continuous learning and adaptation in the face of evolving threats. Allyn underscores the importance of understanding the business's actual risk and aligning the detection response program accordingly.Allyn also shares his experience in creating a framework to help teams understand their current capabilities and how to evolve towards a more effective detection response program. This framework, he suggests, can help prioritize work within the program and provide a roadmap for reporting out.This episode is a treasure trove of insights for CISOs, managers, directors, and builders in the cybersecurity field. It provides a roadmap for identifying skill sets, prioritizing work within the program, and reporting out, all crucial elements in building a modern detection response program.The conversation is a blend of practical advice and philosophical musings on the nature of cybersecurity, making it a must-listen for anyone interested or practicing in the field.About Allyn's Black Hat Europe 2023 Session, 'How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Build a Modern Detection & Response Program': You haven't slept in days. Pager alerts at all hours. Constant firefights. How do you get out of this mess? This talk gives away all the secrets you'll need to go from reactive chaos to building and running a finely tuned detection & response program (and finally get some sleep).Gone are the days of buying the ol' EDR/IDS/NGAV combo, throwing some engineers on an on-call rotation, and calling it your incident response team. You need a robust and comprehensive detection and response program to fight modern day attackers. But there are a lot of challenges in the way: alert fatigue, tools are expensive, hiring talent is impossibly difficult, and your current team is overworked from constant firefights.How do you successfully build a modern detection and response program, all while riding the rocket of never ending incidents and unforgiving on-call schedules?This talk addresses the lack of a framework, which has led to ineffective, outdated, and after-thought detection and response programs. At the end of this talk, you will walk away with a better understanding of all the capabilities a modern program should have and a framework to build or improve your own.* How worrying can be a superpower* Why blue teams fail* The framework I've developed for building a detection and response program____________________________ResourcesHow I Learned to Stop Worrying and Build a Modern Detection & Response Program: https://www.blackhat.com/eu-23/briefings/schedule/#how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-build-a-modern-detection--response-program-34241A Security Newsletter with a Cute Cat: https://www.meoward.co/subscribeLearn more about Black Hat Europe 2023: https://www.blackhat.com/eu-23/____________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelBlack Hat Europe 2023 playlist: 📺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllQXpNVL6L8zfXXDip7JtQY1Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist: 📺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllS9aVGdiakVss9u7xgYDKYqITSPmagazine YouTube Channel: 📺 https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!Are you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 244Do We Really Need to Worry about Critical Infrastructure? | A Discussion about Cyber Operations in the Context of the Leaked Vulkan Files | A SecTor Event Coverage Conversation with Marina Krotofil
Guest: Marina Krotofil, Senior Cyber Security Advisor, Critical Infrastructure ProtectionOn Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/marina-krotofil/Marina's Website | https://www.cyberphysicalsecurity.info/____________________________Hosts: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber]On ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/sean-martin____________________________Episode NotesIn this episode of Chats on the Road, hosts Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin are joined by Marina Krotofil, a specialist in cyber physical security, at the SecTor Canada security conference in Toronto. Marina sheds light on the world of cyber warfare and the evolution of cyber weapons. She discusses the leaked Vulkan files, which reveal Russia's centralized strategy and software platform for managing cyber operations. Marina emphasizes the combination of cyber and physical sabotage required in attacks on critical infrastructure and the focus on controlling the masses through disinformation and propaganda. The conversation covers a range of topics, including the link between cybersecurity and political science, societal implications, and the need for independent thinking. Marina highlights the importance of preparing for cyber attacks during peacetime and the vulnerability of small and medium-sized organizations. She shares insights into Russia's cyber capabilities and practices, providing evidence of their development and testing throughout the years. Marina invites listeners to think critically and independently, encouraging them to consider the political and societal implications of cyber warfare. The episode provides thought-provoking insights into the complexities of cyber warfare and the need to be prepared and vigilant in the face of evolving threats. It explores the manipulation of media and propaganda, the dangers of controlling information flow, and the importance of understanding the long-term game of cyber operations. The conversation is not sensationalized or journalistic in nature, but rather focuses on informing and educating listeners about the realities of cyber warfare.Marina's session at the conference, "Do We Really Need to Worry about Critical Infrastructure?" goes deeper into the analysis of Russia's cyber operations and their connection to the leaked Vulkan documents. Overall, this episode offers listeners a chance to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges posed by cyber warfare and the need for proactive defense measures. It encourages independent thinking and critical analysis, highlighting the importance of staying informed and prepared in an age of evolving cyber threats.About Marina's SecTor Session: In the past, the definition of hybrid war was frequently reduced to a composition of kinetic and cyber warfare to simplify the discussion. Lessened to just two components and in the absence of real-world examples of hybrid war, it was often argued that cyberwarfare, and especially attacks on various critical infrastructures, had the potential of having a critical role at times of significant conflicts with combat actions. However, the events in the Ukrainian war theater have shown that kinetic weapons were preferred at the time of tactical military operations. Ever wondered why this was the case?This talk will consist of two parts. The first part will provide a short yet comprehensive summary of the recently leaked "Vulkan files", classified documentation which provides details about Russian hybrid warfare strategy and distributed software platforms to prepare and manage cyber- and information operations in a centralized manner. In the second part, we will analyze notable Russian cyber operations in the post-Stuxnet era (after 2010) and show how Russia gradually evolved and tested its cyber capabilities and hybrid warfare vision. Some of the operations will be discussed with technical details based on first- and second-hand experiences with such operations. By the end of this talk, the audience should get a better idea about a wide range of factors that impact the success of cyber operations and why cyber attacks on critical infrastructures are more frequently opportunistic than strategic as well as may not always yield the desired impact. In conclusion, the talk will outline a type of cyber operations being conducted in war and peace times.Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist:📺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllS9aVGdiakVss9u7xgYDKYqITSPmagazine YouTube Channel:📺 https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!ResourcesDo We Really Need to Worry about Critical Infrastructure?

Ep 243Navigating the Privacy Maze: Mozilla’s Vehicle Privacy Report Sparks a Drive | A BlackCloak Brand Story with Chris Pierson and Ingrid Gliottone
The recent report by Mozilla, shedding light on the privacy concerns around modern vehicles, struck a chord. Notably, every car brand reviewed, including behemoths like Ford, Volkswagen, and Toyota, flunked the privacy test. This revelation steered a fascinating conversation with Chris Pierson and Ingrid Gliottone from BlackCloak during a brand story recording for the Redefining Society podcast. Our focus veered towards the lurking privacy and security issues tied to the modern, tech-savvy vehicles we so casually entrust with our data.The modern car is no longer just a mode of transport—it's a smart gadget, a data hub on wheels. But as the wheels spin, so does the reel of our personal information, weaving into the vast web of data, ready for harvest by not just the car makers, but a string of 'they' – the infotainment system providers, app developers, network providers, and possibly cyber rogues. The conversation took a deeper dive as Chris, the CEO of BlackCloak, elucidated the firm's mission—shielding corporate executives and key personnel from personal cyber threats that could ricochet back to the corporations.The Mozilla report is an alarm bell, underscoring the high time to separate the wheat from the chaff in terms of what data is essential for functionality and what merely serves as a gold mine for advertisers or a hunting ground for cyber-attackers. This blend of privacy and security, or the lack thereof, is a cocktail we are forced to sip, as Ingrid pointed out the lack of clarity presented to buyers at the point of sale concerning the privacy policies tied to these vehicles.The promise of tech advancements in vehicles is dazzling—better shocks for off-roaders, safety features to prevent accidents during a sudden snooze, and so on. Yet, as Chris highlighted, there's a dark side. Some policies mentioned collecting data about one's sex life and genetic information— a far cry from the basic expectations of privacy.As the conversation with BlackCloak unrolled, the blend of excitement and concern was palpable. The question now is not about halting the march of technology but steering it towards a path where privacy and security are not the passengers but co-drivers.The findings from the Mozilla report and insights from BlackCloak are not just food for thought, but a call to action. It is crucial to reckon with the reality of the modern-day vehicles doubling as data hubs and to steer the conversation towards a road where transparency, consent, and security are the landmarks. I urge you to dive into BlackCloak's offerings to explore how they are redefining the security landscape, ensuring the privacy and security of your personal digital realm, including that computer on wheels parked in your driveway.

Ep 228Book | Irreducibly Complex Systems: An Introduction to Continuous Security Testing | A Conversation with Author David Hunt | Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin
Guest: David Hunt, AuthorOn Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-hunt-b72864200/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/privateducky____________________________Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine [@ITSPmagazine] and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast [@RedefiningCyber]On ITSPmagazine | https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-podcast-radio-hosts/sean-martin____________________________This Episode’s SponsorsImperva | https://itspm.ag/imperva277117988Pentera | https://itspm.ag/penteri67a___________________________Episode NotesIn this episode of Redefining Cybersecurity, host Sean Martin engages in a thought-provoking conversation with David Hunt, author of the book, Irreducibly Complex Systems: An Introduction to Continuous Security Testing, to explore the topic presented in the book.David introduces the concept of irreducibly complex systems, explaining that continuous security testing requires a system where all the individual components must be functioning correctly for the system to work. He uses the analogy of a mousetrap to illustrate this idea, highlighting that removing even one component renders the entire system useless.The conversation also digs into the challenges of testing in changing environments and the need to understand how defenses perform during specific time frames. They discuss the value of continuous security testing in gaining visibility into the effectiveness of security defenses and shedding light on techniques used by malicious actors.Sean, having been a software quality assurance engineer in previous roles, and David, having held numerous roles in the commercial, public, and non-profit realms, explore the differences between continuous security testing and traditional security testing. They explain that continuous testing focuses on evaluating how defenses respond to attacks, rather than testing offensive capabilities. Moreover, continuous security testing operates at complete scale on production systems, unlike traditional testing which is often limited to development environments.They also discuss the importance of overcoming the dichotomy of skill sets required for continuous security testing. David explains that the offensive skills needed to create effective tests and attacks are often separate from the software skills needed to build a safe, high-assurance command and control center.Throughout the episode, Sean and David provide listeners with valuable insights into the world of continuous security testing and its significance in the evolving cybersecurity landscape. They emphasize the need for organizations to adopt this approach in order to gain better visibility and understanding of their defenses in the face of emerging threats.There’s a lot to take from this conversation, including an extreme example of how continuous security testing results have redefined cybersecurity in David’s organization.____________________________About the bookContinuous security testing (CST) is a new strategy for validating your cyber defenses. We buy security products that promise to protect us, like EDR, but how do we know they're working? CST takes the stance that endpoints are the center of your infrastructure universe. Whether the operating system verticalizes defense or a third party is bolted on, it is the job of the endpoint to protect itself from within. This new concept dictates testing should occur around the clock, in production and at scale. It provides an open model that others can use to approach testing and finally answer the question: Do you know with certainty that your defenses will protect you against the latest threats?____________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist:📺 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllS9aVGdiakVss9u7xgYDKYqITSPmagazine YouTube Channel:📺 https://www.youtube.com/@itspmagazineBe sure to share and subscribe!____________________________ResourcesIrreducibly Complex Systems: An Introduction to Continuous Security Testing (Book): https://www.yellowduckpublishing.com/books.html?title=icsd____________________________To see and hear more Redefining CyberSecurity content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-cybersecurity-podcastAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?👉 https://www.itspmagazine.com/sponsor-the-itspmagazine-podcast-network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
