Cyberattacks On Complex Supply Chains Are Difficult, But Not Impossible, To Resolve | A Crucial Conversation With Mark Weatherford Oct 21, 2022

Show notes

Global supply chains have grown much more complex than simply figuring out how to get products and services from Point A to Point B. Companies also depend on second-tier, third-tier, and even nth-tier vendors they don’t know and have no relationship with for the services and components they require to operate.

Cyberattacks on software across these complex supply chain ecosystems have resulted in disruptions, defects, and diversions that are difficult to identify and resolve—one weak link in the chain can bring the entire ecosystem to a halt.

In this episode, Mark Weatherford—CSO at AlertEnterprise and Chief Strategy Officer at the National Cybersecurity Center—examines the importance of understanding vendor cybersecurity postures, not only primary suppliers but also their suppliers as well. Weatherford also discusses how enterprise software components can come from vendors all over the world and how global events can impact supply chains. Weatherford then presents why the jobs of CISOs are so difficult in defending supply chains, along with a few tips for organizations to protect their operations.

In the business of security, the market can be viewed as driven by 3 things: advancing threats, innovative solutions, and the intersection of these two things to the business. It's this last point that many forget when we look at how a sector can grow, survive, and thrive: how well does it fit into the target customer's business model, financial model, staffing model, operational model, and more.

Our guest, William Kilmer, spearheaded interviews with roughly 40 cybersecurity professionals to hear where they thought the market was going. One thing William heard, as an example, was the interest in seeing new operating and business models for cybersecurity beyond the traditional SaaS/recurring software subscription model. As we dig into this point, we get into how and where we can expect budget for cyber for new products will derive — will they be flat, grow, or decline?

We also look to see if there are other industries with “similar” challenges that have been transformative where there have been signs of people thinking in a transformative fashion.

In the business of security, we must remember the outcome we are trying to achieve. Are we, the collective cybersecurity community, doing what we need to do to meet — or possibly change — the desired outcome?

Advocate Security For Your Customers By Ensuring The Safety Of Your Products | A Crucial Conversation With Alex Kreilein Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

CISOs and InfoSec teams in charge of product security realize how the drive for innovation can speed up their organization's product release philosophy. Software development teams want applications to continuously expand functionality to solve more customer pain points and go to market before the competition.

But it’s just as vital for CISOs and InfoSec teams to be product security advocates for customers—to ensure their accounts and sensitive data are safe from bad actors.

In this episode, Alex Kreilein, a Senior Technical Program Manager for Microsoft, discusses what it takes for CISOs and InfoSec teams to become security advocates for customers by ensuring the safety of software products. Kreilein also examines the importance for CISOs and InfoSec teams to understand the objectives of the software development team and to interject product security early into the software development lifecycle. Kreilein then presents why accuracy in security testing is more important than finding vulnerabilities and how it’s critical to establish one team across security and developer teams—by making success metrics transparent and allowing team members to hold each other accountable.

DDoS: An Old Problem Taking On New Forms As Attack Vectors Evolve | Exploring The Imperva DDoS Threat Landscape Report | An Imperva Brand Story With David Elmaleh Sep 14, 2022

Show notes

The “waves” of ransom-driven DDoS — Distributed Denial of Service — attacks continue to come as the attack vectors, techniques, and targets continue to evolve. Where does this leave us? Let's look to the DDoS Threat Landscape Report from Imperva to glean some answers.

As we connect with David Elmaleh, during this episode, we quickly realize there is a lot to catch up on — past, present and future — for what appears to be a never-ending problem in DDoS. Attacks seems to be be repeatedly targeting the same victims and are coming more quickly and running for shorter periods. Don't be fooled, however, the financial impact due to the unplanned and seemingly-uncontrolled downtime is wreaking havoc on industries and organizations all around the globe.

In addition to leveraging new techniques, bad actors are also using advanced technologies — artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT), and 5G to name but a few — to do their dirty deeds. They are investing in these technologies to help them scale their operations to reach more targets with fewer resources. On the other side of this coin, the bad actors' deep understanding of these technologies and the new, modern architectures and infrastructures that companies are building with them, makes them prime targets as well. The expanded business capabilities using these advanced technologies equate to expanded attack surface for the DDoS slingers to target.

We cover a lot from the first 2 quarters of this quarterly report while also getting to hear what some real-world cases from Imperva customers sound and look like.

It's time we found a way to handle these distributed attacks. Have a listen to hear what your business can do to mitigate this risk.

Vulnerable, Targeted, And Exploited IoT Devices: Take The Necessary Steps To Discover Assets And Remediate The Risk | A Crucial Conversation With Brian Contos Sep 14, 2022

Show notes

Large enterprises and government agencies deploy thousands of Internet of Things (IoT), Operational Technology (OT), and other network-connected devices. But many severely underestimate the count, and many more do not manage these devices to ensure the latest security measure are in place.

This includes up-to-date firmware and strong passwords. Knowing this, the cybercriminal community focuses on these devices and environments. They are more vulnerable than primary IT infrastructures and offer an easy way to breach digital assets and move laterally without discovery across an organization’s broader infrastructure.

In this episode, Brian Contos, Chief Security Officer for Phosphorous Cybersecurity, presents insights and examines the risks to IoT, OT, and network devices and the issues they can cause to an organization's overall IT infrastructure. The article also demonstrates how devices are attacked and presents ways to overcome the risks to ensure digital assets remain safe.

Automated Security Validation With Red Team Penetration Testing Software | There Is A Silver Lining | A Pentera Brand Story With Aviv Cohen Sep 09, 2022

Show notes

This is a story that begins with the journey of Arik Liberzon, the founder and CTO and head of the R&D and product teams at Pentera. Arik was the head of the red team for the Israeli Defense Forces, chartered with pentesting — or red teaming — all of the strategic assets against nation state levels of threats. He did so with a great number of people, just like you would expect to do with an enterprise level red teaming program, tapping into a wealth of ethical hackers and red teamers. But he also had another part of his brain, which was all about software. Arik fused the two mindsets and had an a-ha moment that 'I can do everything that I'm doing here with people and I can do it in software. I can shrink wrap a red team in a box of software and give every enterprise in the world the ability to red team irrespective of their budget. I can give every business the power of a big red team army, delivered through software.'

This story, and the broader capabilities, mission, and vision for the future at Pentera, was told to us by Aviv Cohen, Pentera's Chief Marketing Officer. Connecting the human element to software and operations, the team at Pentera believes that it is important to have a human view for the challenges organizations face when managing their security programs. This is why Pentera created a series of cyber cartoons that are specialized to represent cybersecurity life. The cartoons connect the life of cybersecurity personnel and their role in society. This is a way for us to laugh, adding some humor to reality, connecting the technology products and services that we provide to this reality.

The software-enabled red team army is here and ready to join your team. Have a listen and connect with the team at Pentera to begin and continue your own red team journey.

From Fighting Crime As A Former Federal Prosecutor To Protecting Cyberspace As The CSO At A Multi-National Tech Company | A Conversation With Huawei USA CSO Andy Purdy | Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast With Sean Martin Sep 01, 2022

Show notes

When a multi-national technology company needs to manage cyber risk on a global scale while not losing sight of the regional and local aspects of the business, one way to accomplish this is through regional and global committees comprised of multiple business functions.

A mixed global and regional view can help to determine budgetary needs to ensure security management and operations function in support of the business in a way that remains focused on minimizing the threat and impact of a cyber incident. Doing so also encourages a culture of security maturity where the business recognizes the value that the security function brings to the table as the company defines, architects, and builds its business, operations, and technology stack that makes everything possible.

Join us for an in-depth conversation with the Chief Security Officer (CSO) at Huawei Technologies USA, Andy Purdy, as we explore how an organization can better prepare its security teams, operations, and committees to ensure each is poised to be resilient and sustainable for the bigger picture and the long term.
