Aerospace Village At DEF CON 30 | Chats On The Road | A Conversation With Kaylin Trychon | Black Hat 2022 And DEF CON 30 Las Vegas Event Coverage | Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast With Sean Martin And Marco Ciappelli Aug 08, 2022

Show notes

"Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes." - Rex Kramer [Airplane! the movie]

It's a lot harder to secure these giant flying computer systems as well. The same is true for pretty much every vessel and communications system represented in the Aerospace Village. Join us and our guest, Kaylin Trychon, as we take a journey into what visitors can expect at this year's village.

About the Aerospace Village
Aerospace is a cornerstone of our global infrastructure and economy. While passenger safety is at an all-time high, the increasing adoption of connected technologies exposes aircraft, airports, satellites, and the interdependent aerospace ecosystem to new types of risks. The consequences of cybersecurity failure in a ground, air, or space-based system can impact human life and public safety; a crisis of confidence in the trustworthiness of air travel can undermine economic and (inter)national security.

MISSION: Build, inspire, and promote an inclusive community of next-generation aerospace cybersecurity expertise and leaders.

VALUES: The aerospace industry, security researchers, and the public share a common goal: safe, reliable, and trustworthy aviation and space operations.

GOAL: The Aerospace Village is a diverse community of hackers, engineers, pilots, policy leaders and more from across both the public and private sectors. We believe the flying public deserves safe, reliable, and trustworthy air travel, which is highly dependent on secure aviation and space operations.

From Hackathon To Hacked: Web3’s Security Journey | Chats On The Road | A Conversation With Nathan Hamiel | Black Hat 2022 And DEF CON 30 Las Vegas Event Coverage | Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast With Sean Martin And Marco Ciappelli Aug 06, 2022

Show notes

Web3 is a live experiment that is happening now. Around us. To us. By us. How will it affect privacy and security? Let's find out.

In this conversation with Black Hat speaker, Nathan Hamiel, we explore the definition and promise of Web3 and its impact — positive and negative — on society.

About the Session "From Hackathon to Hacked: Web3's Security Journey":
If there's one prediction you can make with certainty, it's that security in the Web3/blockchain space will get a whole lot worse before it gets better. We have the perfect cocktail of inexperience mixed with emerging technology playing out in full public view with large sums at stake and the permanence of immutable transactions. The result is predictable. An environment free from constraints can seem like an innovation paradise, but when the stakes are so high, you have to get everything right the first time because there may not be a next time. We tend to forget that what we see from this space are experiments playing out in production, and the time between exploitation and losing millions of dollars worth of value can be measured in seconds. So, how did we get here? Is it all doom and gloom? What can be done?
This talk is a grounded look at the factors contributing to the security failures we've witnessed, free from the hype and hatred associated with the space. We look at the similarities and differences between the development of this new technology and more traditional applications and how some of the attacks manifested. Better testing and tools aren't enough to solve the problem. We discuss actionable steps projects and chains can use today to address these issues and make the ecosystem safer for projects and users.

AppSec Village At DEF CON 30 | Chats On The Road | A Conversation With Chris Kubecka, Liora Herman, And Erez Yalon | Black Hat 2022 And DEF CON 30 Las Vegas Event Coverage | Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast With Sean Martin And Marco Ciappelli Aug 04, 2022

Show notes

Applications run the world. They provide an interface to the rest of the technologies and data we create, share, and make decisions with. Sometimes these interfaces come in the form of a user interface (UX), sometimes in the form of an API. In both cases, they offer a path to the systems and information we hold dear to us.

In this Chats on the Road to DEF CON, we connect with the co-founders and organizers of the AppSec Village along with their keynote speaker at the village this year. This is a conversation about the real-world that you won't want to miss.

About the AppSec Village
Welcome to AppSec Village, where red, blue and purple teamers, come together learn from the best of the best on how to exploit software vulnerabilities and how to secure software. Software is everywhere, and Application Security vulnerabilities are lurking around every corner making the software attack surface attractive for abuse. If you are just an AppSec n00b or launch deserialization attacks for fun and profit, you will find something to tickle your interest at the AppSec Village.

Our mission is to promote diverse voices and perspectives in an inclusive environment driven for and by the appsec community to increase education and awareness of application security methods and practices.

About Chris Kubecka's Keynote: Wartime AppSec
To understate things, the 2020s have been a challenging time for AppSec. First, Corona took the hardware out of the office for everyone. Now, with a war in Ukraine activating hacktivists, patriotic hackers, and nation-state level actors are wreaking havoc on our apps and websites. Cyber-attacks are targeting the code and products of allied nations, pro-Russian, and pro-sanction companies.

Come on a journey with a hacker who will share the top ten geopolitical gotchas in your AppSec and real-world examples. Through her experiences in several cyber warfare incidents as well as her recent experiences in Ukraine, Romania, Moldova, and Transnistria.

Trying To Be Everything To Everyone: Let’s Talk About Burnout | A Conversation With Stacy Thayer | Black Hat 2022 And DEF CON 30 Las Vegas Event Coverage | Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast With Sean Martin And Marco Ciappelli Jul 29, 2022

Show notes

The industry recognizes there is a problem with staff being overworked and reaching a point of burnout. What is the definition of burnout, and how can we spot the signs? Perhaps we need to look at this from a different angle to begin to make some progress in this area.

In this conversation with Black Hat speaker, Dr Stacy Thayer, we explore the history, definition, and progress we are making as we attempt to deal with burnout and the overarching challenges of employee experience.

About the session, "Trying to Be Everything to Everyone: Let’s Talk About Burnout"
Research shows computer security professionals describe the computer security industry as a high-risk yet high-reward profession with negative effects on the workforce. There is an estimated 805,000 computer security professionals working in the US, but meeting the business demand for computer security professionals would require 62% industry growth. This leaves those in the field understaffed and highly stressed, ultimately leading to burnout. Stress and burnout can lead to mental fatigue, which can negatively impact motivation and engagement. It can also cause diminishing focus and performance levels, and have a negative impact on operational security, satisfaction, and performance, both in the office and at home. This talk will discuss the existing research on burnout in the computer security industry and will discuss what really causes burnout, why it happens, and what you can do to mitigate it, including setting healthy boundaries, avoiding guilt, realistic ways to manage anxiety, and honest self-talk so you can identify what is needed to refill your energy and passion.

I will discuss how to recognize burnout in hidden places and explore the root causes of it.

I will address what to do about it – going beyond simply meditation, exercise, and healthy eating. If it was that easy, we would all be doing that. This talk is unique in that it will utilize a knowledge of practical psychology to keep it real and use behavioral change models as a guide for reducing burnout. How do you find motivation, appreciation, and time for yourself when it feels like the world around you is demanding you give more? You will leave this talk with a better understanding of how burnout happens, your personal relationship to burnout, and an idea of what to do to help reduce, relieve, and manage it.

A Fully Trained Jedi You Are Not | A Conversation With Adam Shostack | Black Hat 2022 And DEF CON 30 Las Vegas Event Coverage | Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast With Sean Martin And Marco Ciappelli Jul 28, 2022

Show notes

While many in the InfoSec industry try to be all things to all people, sometimes that just isn't a winning strategy? What is? Let's have a chat with Adam Shostack to find out.

About the session, "A Fully Trained Jedi, You Are Not"

As software organizations try to bring security earlier in the development processes, what can or should regular software or operations engineers know about security? Taking as given that we want them to build secure systems, that demands a shared understanding of the security issues that might come up, and agreement on what that body of knowledge might entail. Without this knowledge, they'll keep building insecure systems. With them, we can have fewer recurring problems that are trivially attackable.
Training everyone at a firm is expensive. Even if the training content is free, people's time is not. If you have 1,000 people, one hour per person is half a person year (before any overhead). So there is enormous pressure to keep it quick, ensure it meets compliance standards like PCI, and … the actual knowledge we should be conveying is almost an afterthought. We need to design knowledge scaffolding and tiered approaches to learning, and this talk offers a structure and tools to get there.
We don't need every developer to be a fully trained Jedi, and we don't have time to train everyone to that level or even as much as we train security champs. So what could we ask everyone to know, and how do we determine what meets that bar?
