Threat Actors are also incredible makeup artists. To penetrate defenses, both human and technological, they have a suitcase full of tools to make any threat look innocent and even desirable. Guest Druce MacFarlane, Sr. Product Manager for Threat Intelligence at Infoblox joins us to talk about the current state of threat camouflage, and some of the key tools to reveal them before it’s too late.

Losing Sleep over Security: A Halloween Review Oct 19, 2022

Show notes

There is no shortage of “Scary Stories” for Halloween or Cybersecurity Awareness month this year. But a lot of them, despite the media hype, won’t cause most security professionals to lose any sleep. But others might. So we’ve invited back Ed Hunter, the CISO for Infoblox, to talk about the last year and what threats, trends or technologies landed on his list of things to be concerned about.

Managing Risk While Getting Closer to the Network Edge Oct 05, 2022

Show notes

The shift to the network edge is transforming the work environment but there is so much information about it, including some confusing marketing messaging, that many are unclear about why it matters, what it costs, and how they should go about assessing and altering their own operations. The Sr. PMM for cloud-managed core networking solutions at Infoblox, Rod Dixon, joins this episode of ThreatTalk to update us on the shift to the edge, and provide some thoughts that can help anyone trying to make decisions about the transition.

Paying for Protection: What is the Performance Cost of Security? Sep 21, 2022

Show notes

It is easy to find headline stories of a breach that can be traced to poor security investments and practices. But such stories will continue to appear as many in management persist in restricting security investments. They often cite worker productivity, or even employee satisfaction, as factors. How can SecOps balance the needs for both productivity and protection? Anthony Ciarochi, SecOps Manager for Infoblox, returns to ThreatTalk to discuss.

A Researchers Story: Uncovering the Omnatour Malvertising Network Sep 07, 2022

Show notes

To deliver malware, threat actors depend on techniques like phishing and malvertising, but malvertising doesn’t get as much visibility. To address this imbalance, we’ve invited Chance Tudor, an official “Threat Hunter” in the Infoblox threat research group, to talk about his recent work uncovering the Omnatour Malvertising network, an unusually large and persistent threat delivery system. Our discussion will focus on the behind-the-scenes investigation work, starting with how they even knew a threat even needed to be investigated.

Putting Threat Intelligence Labs Under the Microscope Aug 17, 2022

Show notes

In previous episodes, we’ve discussed the broad array of threat intelligence (TI) available and how important it is to get the right blend of TI. But where does it all come from? Renee Burton is the Sr. Director of Threat Intelligence for Infoblox and her teams, produce or curate dozens of threat feeds of different types, so we’ve asked her to help us understand the different kinds of labs producing all of these different types of threat intelligence.

Decisions, Decisions: Vulnerable, Exploitable, Patchable or Possibly Ignorable? Aug 03, 2022

Show notes

Vulnerabilities. The breadth of products impacted is growing, while our options for dealing with them are shrinking. For example, the luxury of having months to test patches in labs before deployment has, in many cases, completely disappeared. So, we have asked the SecOps Manager for Infoblox, Anthony Ciarochi, to be our guest for this episode of ThreatTalk and talk with us about how his security operations are adapting to the current state of vulnerabilities, exploits, and all the rest.

Summer Revival: Sharing Responsibility Between IT and End Users Jul 20, 2022

Show notes

Since we are in the dog days of summer, we have decided to celebrate the hot weather by reviving our hottest episode from Season 2! In this episode of ThreatTalk, Infoblox CIO Brad Bell and Infoblox CISO Ed Hunter join host Bob Hansmann in an exciting and relevant discussion. We will explore the threats, defenses, and pros & cons of user awareness from the endpoint perspective, with particular attention to the impact of our new work-from-anywhere reality.

Solving Hidden SecOps Vulnerabilities with Network Discovery Jul 06, 2022

Show notes

The SecOps benefits from device visibility is limited if that data is incomplete. Depending on DHCP alone can leave gaps in missed devices and partial data. Rogue DHCP, rogue devices, and more present risks that SecOps cannot ignore.

This episode of threat talk will focus on how to fill in these gaps with the help of Bob Rose, our resident expert on networking technologies. As we investigate ‘discovery’ technologies, we’ll look at some additional security benefits they can provide in a world where any vulnerability can be exploited with devastating results.

On Top of Everything Else - Why DNS for Security Jun 22, 2022

Show notes

In the beginning… there was a desktop AV and a firewall. Today, security teams manage scores of security tools from dozens of vendors. With interest in DNS security growing significantly over the last few years, we need to ask why you would want to invest in it, what would DNS security do to the rest of the security stack, and how would it impact SecOps? To answer these questions and more, this week’s guest is Anthony James, Infoblox products VP. An industry veteran with a broad vendor background, he will help us demystify DNS security and understand how it fits, or not, in a security profile.
