There's a pernicious myth that developers don't care about security. In practice, they care about code quality. What developers don't care for is ambiguous requirements. Ixchel Ruiz shares her experience is discussing software designs, the challenges in prioritizing dev efforts, and how to help open source project maintainers with their issue backlog. Segment resources: https://github.com/ossf/scorecard https://www.commonhaus.org/ https://www.hackergarten.net/ Design lessons from PyPI's Quarantine capability, effective ways for appsec to approach phishing, why fishshell is moving to Rust component by component (and why that's a good thing!), what behaviors the Cyber Trust Mark might influence, and more!

We're thrilled to have Frank Duff on to discuss threat-informed defense. As one of the MITRE folks that helped create MITRE ATT&CK and ATT&CK evaluations, Frank has been working on how best to define and communicate attack language for many years now. The company he founded, Tidal Cyber is in a unique position to both leverage what MITRE has built with ATT&CK and help enterprises operationalize it. Segment Resources: Tidal Cyber website Tidal Cyber Community Edition We're a fan of hacker lore and history here at Security Weekly. In fact, Paul's Security Weekly has interviewed some of the most notable (and notorious) personalities from both the business side of the industry and the hacker community. We're very excited to share this new effort to document hacker history through in-person interviews. The series is called "Where Warlocks Stay Up Late", and is the creation of Nathan Sportsman and other folks at Praetorian. The timing is crucial, as a lot of the original hackers and tech innovators are getting older, and we've already lost a few.

In this latest Enterprise Security Weekly episode, we explored some significant cybersecurity developments, starting with Veracode’s acquisition of Phylum, a company specializing in detecting malicious code in open-source libraries. The acquisition sparked speculation that it might be more about Veracode staying relevant in a rapidly evolving market rather than a strategic growth move, especially given the rising influence of AI-driven code analysis tools. We also covered One Password's acquisition of a UK-based shadow IT detection firm, raising interesting questions about their expansion into access management. Notably, the deal involved celebrity investors like Matthew McConaughey and Ashton Kutcher, suggesting a trend where Hollywood influence intersects with cybersecurity branding. A major highlight was the Cyber Haven breach, where a compromised Chrome extension update led to stolen credentials. The attack was executed through a phishing campaign disguised as a Google policy violation warning. To their credit, Cyber Haven responded swiftly, pulling the extension within two hours and maintaining transparency throughout. This incident underscored broader concerns around the poor security of browser extensions, an issue that continues to be exploited due to lax marketplace oversight. We also reflected on Corey Doctorow's concept of "Enshittification," critiquing platforms that prioritize profit and engagement metrics over genuine user experiences. His decision to disable vanity metrics resonated, especially considering how often engagement numbers are inflated in corporate settings. The episode wrapped with a thoughtful discussion on how CISOs can say "no" more effectively, emphasizing "yes, but" strategies and the importance of consistency. We also debated the usability frustrations of "magic links" for authentication, arguing that simpler alternatives like passkeys or multi-factor codes could offer a better balance between security and convenience.

Data is the fastest growing enterprise attack surface, and is projected to surpass 181 Zettabytes in 2025. Couple data growth with the growing demands of Artificial Intelligence, and the attack surface expands even more. How should organizations adapt their security programs to safeguard their data? Lamont Orange, Chief Information Security Officer at Cyera, joins Business Security Weekly to help you solve your biggest data security challenges. By starting with inventory and classification, data access review can help you answer your biggest data security questions, including: what data you have, where it's stored, who, or what, can access it, and which data risks exist.

All appsec teams need quality tools and all developers benefit from appsec guidance that's focused on meaningful results. Greg Anderson shares his experience in bringing the OWASP DefectDojo project to life and maintaining its value for over a decade. He reminds us that there are tons of appsec teams with low budgets and few members that need tools to help them bring useful insights to developers. Segment Resources: https://owasp.org/www-project-defectdojo/ Three-quarters of CISOs surveyed reported being "overwhelmed" by the growing number of tools and their alerts: https://www.darkreading.com/cloud-security/cisos-throwing-cash-tools-detect-breaches As many as one-fifth of all cybersecurity alerts turn out to be false positives.

Since D3FEND was founded to fill a gap created by the MITRE ATT&CK Matrix, it has come a long way. We discuss the details of the 1.0 release of D3FEND with Peter in this episode, along with some of the new tools they've built to go along with this milestone. To use MITRE's own words to describe the gap this project fills: "it is necessary that practitioners know not only what threats a capability claims to address, but specifically how those threats are addressed from an engineering perspective, and under what circumstances the solution would work" Segment Resources: https://d3fend.mitre.org In the enterprise security news, a final few fundings before the year closes out Arctic Wolf buys Cylance from Blackberry for cheap, a sentence that feels very weird to say the quiet HTTPS revolution passkeys are REALLY catching on resilience keeps showing up in the titles of news items Apple Intelligence insults the BBC’s intelligence MITRE ATT&CK evals drama Lastpass breach drama continues All that and more, on this episode of Enterprise Security Weekly As we wrap up the year, we have an honest discussion about how important security really is to the business.

The local network is no more. Neither is the corporate firewall. Users are not only working from the office but also remotely, meaning the network we utilize has quickly become the internet, leaving devices and data vulnerable to cyber threats. But how do we monitor this new, expanded network? Rob Allen, Chief Product Officer at ThreatLocker, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss how the dissolution of the business perimeter makes network access controls essential to protect your devices and, by extension, your data. Network Access Control helps protect business assets whether employees are in the office or remote. ThreatLocker Network Control provides a direct connection between the client and server, as opposed to a VPN that goes through a central point. This segment is sponsored by ThreatLocker.

For our second year now, Mike Privette, from Return on Security and the Security, Funded newsletter joins us to discuss the year's highlights and what's to come in the next 12 months. In some ways, it has been a return to form for funding, though some casualties of a tough market likely had to seek acquisition when they might have otherwise raised another round and stayed independent a while longer. We'll cover some stats, talk 2025 IPO market, and discuss the likelihood of (already) being in another bubble, particularly with regards to the already saturated AI security market. It won't be all financial trends though, we'll discuss some of the technical market trends, whether they're finding market fit, and how ~50ish AI SOC startups could possibly survive in such a crowded space. In this segment, we discuss two new FIDO Alliance standards focused on credential portability. Specifically, if passwordless is going to catch on, we need to minimize friction and maximize usability. In practice, this means that passkeys must be portable! Rew Islam of Dashlane joins us to discuss the new standards and how they'll help us enter a new age of secure authentication, both for consumers and the enterprise.

When focused on cybersecurity through a vulnerability management lens, it's tempting to see the problem as a race between exploit development and patching speed. This is a false narrative, however. While there are hundreds of thousands of vulnerabilities, each requiring unique exploits, the number of post-exploit actions is finite. Small, even. Although Log4j was seemingly ubiquitous and easy to exploit, we discovered the Log4Shell attack wasn't particularly useful when organizations had strong outbound filters in place. Today, we'll discuss an often overlooked advantage defenders have: mitigating controls like traffic filtering and application control that can prevent a wide range of attack techniques.

This is a topic our hosts are very passionate about, and we're excited to discuss with Mariana Padilla, co-founder and CEO of Hackerverse. She wants to change how cybersecurity sales works, with a focus on making the process more transparent and ideally demonstrating a product's efficacy before buyers even need to talk to a sales team. We'll discuss why existing sales processes are broken, how VC funding impacts vendor sales/marketing, and why community-led growth is so important. Why a special segment on Microsoft Ignite announcements? There were a lot of announcements Microsoft is the largest security vendor, in terms of revenue Microsoft and its products are also the biggest and most vulnerable hacking target in the tech industry.

This week's interview dives deep into the state of biometrics with two Forrester Research analysts! This discussion compares and contrasts regional approaches to biometrics; examine the security challenges and benefits of their implementation; and reveal how biometrics holds the keys to a range of engagement models of the future. Andras Cser dives into the technical end of things and explains how biometrics can be resilient to attack. We can't replace our fingerprints or faces, but as Andras explains, there's no need to, thanks to how biometrics actually work. Then, Enza takes us through the latest on privacy in biometrics - a concern for both consumers, and businesses tasked with complying with privacy regulations and avoiding costly fines. Finally, get a sneak peek into the upcoming Forrester Security & Risk Summit. Whether you're an industry professional or just curious about the implications of biometrics, this episode delivers insights you won't want to miss! This week, in the Application Security News, we dismiss magical thinking and discuss what generative AI will actually be able to do for us. We also discuss whether Secure by Design's goals are practical or not. OSC&R releases a report on software supply chain that should be interesting, though neither of us had time to read it yet.

The Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act was a watershed moment in corporate governance, fundamentally altering how companies approached financial reporting and internal operational controls. By holding executives personally accountable for the accuracy of financial reports, SOX restored investor confidence in the wake of corporate malfeasance. The SEC's new cybersecurity rule represents a similar pursuit to restore investor confidence — this time for the digital age, centered on integrating cybersecurity into overall risk management. Padraic O'Reilly, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at CyberSaint, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss the similarities between SOX and SEC's Cyber Rule. The SEC's cybersecurity rule introduced several vital requirements that build on the principles established by SOX, including: Companies must report material cybersecurity incidents on Form 8-K, ensuring timely and transparent disclosure to investors. Companies must provide regular updates on their cybersecurity risk management policies, the role of management in implementing these policies and the board's oversight of cybersecurity risks. The rule encourages companies to disclose the cybersecurity expertise of their board members, highlighting the importance of informed oversight in managing cyber risks. The rule requires cybersecurity disclosures to be presented in Inline Extensible Business Reporting Language, or Inline XBRL, ensuring consistency and comparability across filings.

There have been a lot of bold claims about how generative AI and machine learning will transform the SOC. Ironically, the SOC was (arguably) invented only because security products failed to make good on bold claims. The cybersecurity market is full of products that exist only to solve the problems created by other security products (Security Analytics, SOC Automation, Risk-Based Vulnerability Management). Other products are natural evolutions and pick up where others leave off. In this interview, we'll explore what AI can and can't do, particularly when it comes to alert triage and other common SOC tasks. Segment Resources: From Forrester: Generative AI Will Not Fulfill Your Autonomous SOC Hopes (Or Even Your Demo Dreams) From Intezer: Mastering SOC Automation in 2024: Tips, Trends and Tools The Future of SOC Automation Platforms SentinelOne wants to make the autonomous SOC a reality Naturally, the next approach to try is a federated one. How do we break down cybersecurity into more bite-sized components? How do we alleviate all this CISO stress we've heard about, and make their job seem less impossible than it does today? This will be a more standards and GRC focused discussion, covering: the reasons why cross-walking doesn't work the reasons why traditional TPRM approaches (e.g. questionnaires) don't work opportunities for AI to help risk management or sales support? This week in the enterprise security news, Upwind Security gets a massive $100M Series B Trustwave and Cybereason merge NVIDIA wants to force SOC analyst millennials to socialize with AI agents Has the cybersecurity workforce peaked?

Alright, so we dove deep into some pretty wild stuff this week. We started off talking about zip files inside zip files. This is a variation of old-school zip file tricks, and the latest method described here is still causing headaches for antivirus software. Then we geeked out about infrared signals and the Flipper Zero, which brought back memories of the TV-B-Gone. But the real kicker was our discussion on end-of-life software and the whole CVE numbering authority mess. Avanti's refusal to issue a CVE for their end-of-life product sparked a heated debate about cybersecurity accountability and conflicts of interest.

In this week's interview, Melinda Marks' joins us to discuss her latest research. Her recent report Modernizing Application Security to Scale for Cloud-Native Development delves into many aspects and trends affecting AppSec as it matures, particularly in cloud-first organizations. We also discuss the fuzzy line between "cloud-native" AppSec and everything else that refuses to disappear, particularly for organizations that weren't born cloud-native and still have legacy workloads to worry about. Integrating security into the SDLC and CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code (IaC) trends, best of breed vs platform, and other aspects of AppSec get discussed as well! This week, in the Application Security News, we spend a lot of time on some recent vulnerabilities. We take this opportunity to talk about how to determine whether or not a vulnerability is worth a critical response. Can AI fully automate DevSecOps Governance? Adrian has his reservations, but JLK is bullish. Is it bad that 70% of DevSecOps professionals don't know if code is AI generated or not? All that and more on this week's news segment.
