Back in 2017 New America and The Christian Science Monitor hosted then 14-year-old and CEO of VannTechCyber LLC, Paul Vann. He was indeed a rising star in the field, but where is Vann now? Join this RSAC 365 podcast as we shine a spotlight on the making of a cyber professional. We’ll feature Paul Vann, who’s now a senior at the University of Virginia and a Developer at Cyborg Security. Vann will inspire listeners with his story of growing from a “hacker kid” to a developer working on a malware analysis tool as well as his goals and aspirations for a future in the industry. Speakers: Paul Vann, Student, University of Virginia Kacy Zurkus, Content Strategist, RSA Conference

Overcoming Barriers to Intelligence Sharing Sep 27, 2022

Show notes

When it comes to defending critical infrastructure from cyber threats, understanding the threat landscape is critical to assessing risk and implementing a robust security strategy. Threat intelligence enables organizations to identify and react to threats, and we know that having the right attack surface intelligence informs the processes and procedures needed to quickly recover. Yet, intelligence sharing remains a problem for defenders. In this podcast we'll explore the value in public/private partnerships, the barriers to threat intelligence, and how organizations can collaborate to overcome those barriers and improve resilience. Speakers: Erin Miller, Executive Director, NCC/Space ISAC Kacy Zurkus, Content Strategist, RSA Conference

What Could a U.S. Federal Data Privacy and Security Law Look Like? Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

Congress has tried for years to pass a comprehensive federal data privacy and security law without success, which impacts consumers, industry, and security. Meanwhile, other countries and multiple U.S. states have moved forward with laws. However, the bipartisan, bicameral American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) could be an opportunity to change this. This podcast will cover why data privacy and security legislation is important and look at the R Street Institute’s report on reaching consensus on traditional roadblocks, specific aspects of the bill like data security, the bill’s current status and possible next steps, and remaining challenges. Speakers: Brandon Pugh, Resident Senior Fellow and Policy Counsel, Cybersecurity and Emerging Threats, R Street Institute Kacy Zurkus, Content Strategist, RSA Conference

The Cyber Physical War: Does the Investment Match the Hype? Aug 19, 2022

Show notes

While there seems to be a growing awareness of the threats to the cyber-physical world with cybercriminals increasingly targeting industrial organizations within critical infrastructure, are current investments, regulations, and actions enough to stop attackers. In this podcast, we’ll have a follow up Q&A to the RSAC 2022 session, “The Cyber Physical War—Lessons from the Digital Front Line,” to understand what more must be done to protect industrial organizations. Speakers: Ian Bramson, Global Head of Industrial Cybersecurity, ABS Group Kacy Zurkus, Content Strategist, RSA Conference

"Anatomy of Smart Living” - Limit Cyber Exposure by Embracing Mobility and IoT Aug 11, 2022

Show notes

We live very “smart” lives equipped to stay connected anywhere, any time. Getting connected is easy, securing it may be a fool’s errand if not approached properly. Say goodbye to the days of signature-based detection and say hello to IoT data anomaly and volatility predictive analysis for advanced “on the go” monitoring, detection and response. In this podcast, we will discuss novel approaches in using data analytics models from financial market trading systems (quant) to determine security volatility when faced with unprecedented and overwhelming volumes of data. We’ll propose potential solutions called the Cyber VIX and engineering concepts to test cyber defenses such as the “shake down test” and where failures and blind spots can be predicted and modeled. Speakers: Peter Tran, CISO & EVP Global Cyber and Product Security Solutions, InferSight LLC Kacy Zurkus, Content Strategist, RSA Conference

Effective or Confusing: New Structures and Regulations in Cybersecurity Jul 05, 2022

Show notes

Over the course of the last two years, cybersecurity planning and thought leadership have picked up with a parallel increase in regulation, Congressional action, and government reorganization. The Cyberspace Solarium Commission recommended and got a National Cyber Director and incident reporting legislation through the hard work of the SASC, HASC, and HSGAC, but where do these changes leave us now? Is the National Cyber Director leading the federal government effort, or are government turf battles making leadership in cyber confusing? And what about incident reporting - how many new proposals have we seen, and which are the most critical to understand? Join us for a discussion of all of these issues and what the cybersecurity landscape might look like in a year or five years from now. Speakers: Tatyana Bolton, Policy Director, Cybersecurity and Emerging Threats, The R Street Institute Kacy Zurkus, Content Strategist, RSAC

What is DevSecOps and why is it important? Jun 17, 2022

Show notes

Integrating security into the development lifecycle can be a challenge, especially for those who don’t understand why security matters to development and operations. What’s the ROI of DevSecOps? What are the key KPIs? Join us for an insightful conversation that explains why DevSecOps is important while shining a spotlight on some DevSecOps bloopers to avoid. Our guests will also expose the cost of bad DevSecOps and offer suggestions for how to measure developers on security. Speakers: Keenan Skelly, CEO, Shadowbyte Stephanie Simpson, Vice President of Product, SCYTHE

Affirming LGBTQ Populations in Virtual Health through DevSecOps & Software Integrity Jun 02, 2022

Show notes

Virtual health providers create favorable conditions for the LGBTQ population's access to healthcare, an influx of electronic personal health information, and massive increases in cyber threats. Using software flaws, bad actors increasingly target healthcare systems to steal, monetize, and affect availability of data. This session explores software integrity and DevSecOps approaches to secure highly interconnected digital healthcare systems. Speakers: Safi Mojidi, Head of InfoSec, FOLX Health Kacy Zurkus, Content Strategist, RSA Conference

Get Your Head IN the Clouds: SOC Teams Must Live in Clouds to Secure Them May 09, 2022

Show notes

Massive cloud proliferation has driven huge increases in IT and security complexity, the vast majority of which come from trying to force fit legacy concepts, processes and even tools, into a cloud context. This will cover the most important considerations and requirements facing organizations to adequately understand and affect their new reality – and evolve their security thinking.
