2021 was the most active year in federal cybersecurity policy. Ever. The Biden administration used executive orders, new regulations, public/private partnerships and novel law enforcement strategies to shore up federal systems and engage with industry. Meanwhile, an otherwise active year in Congress took a hit when several major pieces of legislation like incident reporting mandates and federal cybersecurity reform were left of the NDAA. SC Media government reporter Derek B. Johnson will discuss what came out last year's flurry and what we can expect Congress to prioritize in 2022.

How cloud resources are architected and utilized is different for every organization, but whether cloud native or cloud traditionalist – security risk and complexity are problems. Concerns over account takeover, overprivileged access and the struggle to keep pace with the dynamism of the cloud are driving demand for a better way to secure access. Hear Colby Dyess, Director of Product at Appgate, discuss how the principles of Zero Trust strengthen and simplify access controls across varying cloud architectures. We'll address everything from users connecting to multi-cloud resources, secure service-to-service communication and running security as code. This segment is sponsored by Appgate.

Log4j, solar winds, tesla hacks, and the wave of high profile appsec problems aren't going to go away with current approaches like SAST and SCA. Why? They are: -40 years old, with little innovation -Haven't solved the problem. In this segment, we talk about fully autonomous application security. Vetted by DARPA in the Cyber Grand Challenge, the approach is different: -Prove bugs, rather than trying to list all of them. -Zero false positives, which leads to better autonomy.

Throughout her career, Sandy Dunn has continued to mature and refine her skills. In the early days, she describes her job as a "hostage negotiator", constantly negotiating between the business teams and the security team. But as you mature, so does your approach to security. Now, Sandy talks about simplifying "knowledge management" to make it easy to understand security and becoming a "business listener" to make the right decisions.

Log4j has more updates and more vulns (but probably not more heartburn...), revisiting outages and whether availability has made it into your threat models, deep dive into hardware security, another data point on bug bounty awards, and looking at risk topics for the next year.

What does a collaborative approach to security testing look like? What does it take to tackle an entire attack class as opposed to fixing a bunch of bugs? If we can shift from vulnerability mitigation to vulnerability elimination, then appsec would be able to demonstrate some significant wins -- and they need a partnership with DevOps teams in order to do this successfully.

Like our interview with Allie Mellen last week (episode 253, check it out also), we have another analyst roundtable here (all ESW hosts are former analysts), discussing one of the hottest new cybersecurity categories - XDR. This discussion will touch on why the only thing about XDR that was a surprise was maybe the name - we all saw this coming, partly due to the failure of other, less effective products and technologies. Perhaps more interesting will be to get Scott's thoughts on where we're going from a macro perspective. Distributed SOC? Automated remediation? Next-gen XDR?

DevSecOps has been traditionally very people centric. It is hard to measure software security and the landscape is becoming increasingly more complex with container, cloud, and infrastructure. Driving an appsec program at scale is often an art that only few can master and the majority of organizations remain uncovered from an appsec perspective. Measuring DevSecOps and evolving risk-based vulnerability management is a must. Bringing along risk people and GRC has traditionally been challenging.
