ASW #242 - Ten Things I Hate About Lists

The OWASP Top 10 dates back to 2003, when appsec was just settling on terms like cross-site scripting and SQL injection. It's a list that everyone knows about and everyone talks about. But is it still the right model for modern appsec awareness? What if we put that attention and effort elsewhere? Maybe we could have secure defaults instead. Or linters and build tools that point out these flaws. We'll talk about top 10 lists, what we like about them, what we don't like, and what we'd like to see replace them. We'll also test our hosts' knowledge of just how many top 10 lists are out there.

BSW #307 - Matt Radolec

You can rebuild infrastructure. But you can’t un-breach data – Data sits at the core of an organization and is often the most open and vulnerable. This is why data security is the most important and urgent security problem to solve right now. We’re joined by Matt Radolec, Senior Director of Incident Response and Cloud Operations at Varonis, to walk through the blast radius concept – from what it is and how to use it to understand your organization's risk, to how it can serve as a guide to securing data from insiders and external attackers.

ESW #318 - Mickey Bresman, Dave Merkel, Michaël Lakhal, Ashley Leonard, Jason Rolleston, Eve Maler

This week, we discuss fundings, acquisitions (TWO DSPM exits!), the ongoing market downturn/weirdness, and surprise - LLM-based AIs! We spend a fair amount of time talking about the importance of breach transparency - we need to be able to learn from others' failures to improve our own defenses. We also discuss the inevitable 'One App To Rule them All' that will serve as an all-knowing personal assistant. It will integrate with all our comms, calendars, and notes, which will be scary and fraught with privacy and security issues. But Tyler and Adrian still yearn for it, as their pre-frontal cortexes become increasingly dulled by scotch and beer. Enterprises are struggling to manage and reduce their organizational attack surface, especially with a shortage of skilled staff. Find out how some security executives are tackling this challenge by automating their IT and vulnerability management. This segment is sponsored by Syxsense.

Cars have evolved from a physical mode of transportation to a digitized experience, bringing with it new risks and challenges in security, privacy and user experience. Putting identity at the center of the connected world solves simplicity and safety challenges, including physical safety, digital security and data privacy. Furthermore, decentralized identity plays a major role in a better, more secure seamless experience – not just for vehicles, but for society at large. This segment is sponsored by ForgeRock. Visit https://securityweekly.com/forgerockrsac to learn more about them! There is a war on trust in the digital world, and people are caught in the crosshairs. Everywhere we look, there are identity risks with crippling repercussions for businesses, whether fake people, fake content, or insecure web links. With the rise of generative AI tools in business, threat actors are utilizing these technologies to create more sophisticated phishing emails – mimicking brands and tone or more easily translating copy into several languages making them more difficult to identify and easily connecting hackers with global audiences. Now is the time to implement solutions that empower a connected thread of trust between businesses and users – before all trust is lost. This segment is sponsored by OneSpan.

This segment is sponsored by Semperis. Visit https://securityweekly.com/semperisrsac to learn more about them! Today’s CISOs are laser focused on three imperatives: reducing risk; reducing operational costs, and attracting or retaining top talent. All three priorities are driven by creating a better SOC analyst experience which translates to less time to detect and respond to an attack. In this discussion, we’ll uncover how Extended Detection & Response (XDR) can drastically improve the SOC analyst experience and alleviate CISOs’ top challenges. This segment is sponsored by VMware. Visit https://securityweekly.com/vmwarecarbonblackrsac to learn more about them! While emerging cyber threats and vulnerabilities tend to dominate headlines, criminals often exploit known vulnerabilities to gain access to critical systems and data for nefarious purposes. And with the number of vulnerabilities rising constantly, they can pose significant risk to organizations, especially if defenders don’t know which ones are critical.

What happens to an app's security after six months? What about a year or two years? A Secure SDLC needs to maintain security throughout an app's lifetime, but too often the rate of new flaws can outpace the rate of new code within an app. Appsec teams need strategies and processes to keep software secure for as long as possible. Segment Resources: https://www.veracode.com/state-of-software-security-report Learn how hackers are exploiting the trust that mobile app owners place in their customers. Hackers are increasingly modifying app code, posing as trusted customers, and infiltrating IT infrastructure. This segment is sponsored by Verimatrix. Visit https://securityweekly.com/verimatrixrsac to learn more about them! Unlike vulnerabilities, which can and do often exist for months or years in application code without being exploited, a malicious package represents an immediate threat to an organization, intentionally designed to do harm. In the war for cybersecurity, attackers are innovating faster than companies can keep up with the threats coming their way. A new approach is needed to stay ahead of the impacts of malicious packages within applications. Findings from our latest report "Malicious Packages Special Report: Attacks Move Beyond Vulnerabilities" illustrate the growing threat of malicious packages. From 2021 to 2022, the number of malicious packages published to npm and rubygems alone grew 315 percent. Mend.io technology detected thousands of malicious packages in existing code bases. The top four malicious package risk vectors were exfiltration, developer sabotage, protestware, and spam. Nearly 85 percent of malicious packages discovered in existing applications were capable of exfiltration – causing an unauthorized transmission of information. Threat actors leveraging this type of package can easily collect protected information before the package is discovered and removed. We’ll share why as long as open source means open, the door will be left open to bad actors, so it’s especially critical to know when things are being brought into your code. Malicious packages represent an immediate threat, unlike vulnerabilities, and can not be taken lightly. This segment is sponsored by Mend.io.

Medtronic's Security Ambassador program has seen tremendous growth and engagement in recent years. Learn how they gave their program a shot of adrenaline and haven't looked back since. Cybersecurity teams today are inundated with tools that provide an abundance of alerts and data about threats, gaps, vulnerabilities and everything in between. While security tools are critical to operating a cybersecurity program and produce helpful data, they should never dictate an organization’s cybersecurity strategy. Instead, Amad Fida, CEO & Founder of Brinqa, explains why business priorities should be the foundation for any company’s cybersecurity strategy. This segment is sponsored by Axonius.

Suh dynamics give CISOs and CIOs an opportunity to demonstrate value by going beyond “merely” defending the organization from threats. We can contribute toward the organization’s efforts to constrain costs by looking inward at existing tools and assets to understand deployment, usage, and value.

Each year, Forrester tracks the top systemic risks — external events that impact your firm and customers but are out of your control — facing organizations. The impacts of climate change are both short-term, in the form of severe weather, drought, and heat waves, and long-term, in the form of biodiversity loss, sea-level rise, and rising temperatures. Want to see where climate risk ranked on the list? Read The Top Systemic Risks, 2023 (https://www.forrester.com/report/the-top-systemic-risks-2023/RES179156) or listen to this segment on Business Security Weekly. A resilient cybersecurity strategy is essential to running your business while protecting against security threats and preventing data breaches. For CISOs, partnering with a managed service security provider (MSSP) means you can be in control of your organization’s information and infrastructure security without placing a strain on internal personnel or resources which is critical in today’s uncertain economy. With an MSSP on board, CISOs are better equipped to meet strategic and business goals, while improving operations and reducing expenses. This interview will discuss not only why to consider an MSSP but how to choose the right one for the job. This segment is sponsored by Direct Defense.

Application security is messy and is getting messier. Modern application security teams are struggling to identify what's more important to fix. Cloud security and application security is getting squeezed all together. Modern vulnerability maturity needs a new approach and guidance. Vulnerability management framework and mature defect management is often overlooked as organizations tend to identify issues and stop there. The devil is usually in the details and time gets burned down in identifying who needs to solve what where. Vulnerability Management Maturity Framework has been created to address that. Segment Resources: Framework: https://phoenix.security/vulnerability-management-framework/ Books on metrics: https://phoenix.security/whitepapers-resources/data-driven-application-security-vulnerability-management-are-sla-slo-dead/ Vulnerability aggregation and prioritization https://phoenix.security/whitepapers-resources/whitepaper-vulnerability-management-in-application-cloud-security/ Shift left: https://phoenix.security/shift-everywhere/ Vulnerability management talk: https://phoenix.security/web-vuln-management/ Vulnerability management framework playlist (explained) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVlvQpDxsvqHWQfqej5Gs7bOd-cq8JO24 How to act on risk: https://phoenix.security/phoenix-security-act-on-risk-calculation/ Without visibility into your entire web application attack surface and a continuous find and fix strategy, dangerous threats can expose your organization's blind spots and create risk.

BSW #304 - Kunal Anand, John Grancarich

This week, it's time for Security Money. We recap Q1 2023 with the latest financial results, funding announcements, and layoffs. Don't miss this quarterly update. At the market close on April 28th 2023: - SW25 Index is 1,404.31, which is an increase of 40.43% (up from last Q) since inception. - NASDAQ Index is 12,226.58, which is an increase of 84.27% (up from last Q) during the same period. CISOs face the complex challenge of protecting organizations against an expanding array of cybersecurity risks. While the role requires constant adaptation to protect against new threats, CISOs often bear the blame when defenses are breached. In this segment Kunal Anand, CTO & CISO, Imperva, discusses the evolution of the role and what aspiring professionals need to know if they want to hold the title. This segment is sponsored by Imperva. Visit https://securityweekly.com/impervarsac to learn more about them! Today’s security products are evolving to meet the changing attack surface, each one targeting a specific set of risks. For organizations, this typically means that to increase security maturity, they need to implement a number of different solutions, and as the attack surface continues to expand, their tech stack quickly becomes difficult to manage. It’s time for the industry to help security teams achieve a better balance and reduce this operational burden.

We talk a lot about closing the skills gap, but it's harder said than done. So we thought we'd tackle the problem in our 2nd episode os Say Easy, Do Hard. Part 1 will discuss the skills needed, the requirements of the position, and the real qualifications for cybersecurity jobs. We will discuss the practical, realistic expectations of working in cybersecurity, not the hyped stereotypical positions. After discussing the requirements for working in cybersecurity, part 2 will tackle where to find the talent. We will explore education, apprenticeships, mentorships, and training. We will also identify areas within the business that have resources with skills that are very complementary with cybersecurity that also make great recruiting areas.

ESW #315 - Matt Johansen, Kayla Lee, Vadim Lyubashevsky

Quantum computing is a rapidly emerging technology that harnesses the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems that today’s most powerful supercomputers cannot practically solve. IBM's Dr. Kayla Lee will explain how close we are to a computational quantum advantage: the point where a computational task of business or scientific relevance can be performed more efficiently, cost-effectively, or accurately using a quantum computer than with classical computations alone. Segment Resources: What is quantum computing? https://www.ibm.com/topics/quantum-computing About IBM Quantum: https://www.ibm.com/quantum About the IBM Quantum Development Roadmap: https://www.ibm.com/quantum/roadmap Access and program a quantum computer: https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/ Quantum computers are scaling rapidly. Soon, they will be powerful enough to solve previously unsolvable problems. But they come with a global challenge: fully-realized quantum computers will be able to break some of the most widely-used security protocols in the world. Dr. Vadim Lyubashevsky will discuss how quantum-safe cryptography protects against this potential future. Segment Resources: IBM Quantum Safe: https://www.ibm.com/quantum/quantum-safe IBM scientists help develop NIST’s quantum-safe standards: https://research.ibm.com/blog/nist-quantum-safe-protocols Government and industry experts recommend moving to quantum-safe cryptography: https://research.ibm.com/blog/economist-quantum-safe-replay We're talking with Matt Johansen about his new newsletter, Vulnerable U.

Compliance with cyber security frameworks such as NIST, PCI, HIPAA, etc. have largely been driven by paper-based processes in Word and Excel. With the rise of cloud computing, containers, and ephemeral systems, paper-based processes can no longer keep up with the speed of business and compliance has become the new bottleneck to progress for highly regulated industries such as government, finance, and energy sector. This session will cover how RegScale is leading a RegOps movement to bring the principles of DevOps to compliance with the world’s first real-time GRC system that enables compliance as code via NIST OSCAL. RegOps seeks to shift compliance left to make it real-time, continuous, and complete so that paperwork is always up to date, self-updating, and takes less manual resources to manage. Segment Resources: Website – https://www.regscale.com Documentation/Learn More – https://regscale.readme.io In this news segment, we discuss the art of branding/naming security companies, some new cars just out of stealth, 5 startups just out of Y Combinator, and Cybereason's $100M round from Softbank. We also talk new features (Semgrep's new GPT-4 use case), new newsletters, and new reports. We break down Nexx's broken vulnerability disclosure program and its broken products. We also discuss the FDA's new ability to block device certification for security reasons. Android announces rules to make it easier for consumers to delete accounts and remove data when they uninstall apps. IT and Security professionals everywhere are asked not to report breaches, but in some countries more than others.

Application security in the cloud is a crucial aspect of protecting data and preventing unauthorized access to applications hosted on cloud platforms. As cloud computing becomes more prevalent, ensuring the security of applications has become a top priority for organizations. This is because cloud environments present unique security challenges, such as shared resources, multi-tenancy, and a lack of physical control. Therefore, it is essential to implement security measures that are specific to cloud-based applications.

ESW #311 - Josh Corman, Nick Means

So much of the tech world went remote at the start of the pandemic, and many of those jobs (and engineers) show no sign of ever going back into an office. Building successful teams in this environment takes a different approach, one defined by autonomy and trust. In this segment, Nickolas Means, VP of Engineering at Sym, will share insights from more than a decade of leading distributed teams to help us all thrive in a world where distributed is the new normal. The White House recently revealed their National Cybersecurity Strategy and its 5 pillars. Some is straightforward - some is more controversial. Josh helped with it and wrote a blog about it. Adrian read that post and asked Josh to come discuss it. So here we are. Segment Resources: https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/National-Cybersecurity-Strategy-2023.pdf https://claroty.com/blog/consequential-cybersecurity-brace-yourself-for-the-white-house-national-cybersecurity-strategy In the enterprise security news, early stage startup funding stays constant, but late stage is nowhere to be found. Cisco, XM Cyber, and Mastercard make acquisitions. YouTube channels keep getting hacked. Microsoft fails to use Azure securely. Organizations are making progress on zero trust, but slowly. Finally, more discussion on AI threats, concerns, and predictions. Visit https://www.securityweekly.com/esw for all the latest episodes!
