NIST Cyber Security Framework Jun 10, 2018

Show notes

Tasked with creating a cybersecurity policy framework, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) had its work cut out for it—and then some. After all, it’s one thing to agree that organizations and the nation’s critical infrastructure need to be protected. And another to find common ground on how best to proceed. In this episode, we take a look at how the NIST Cybersecurity Framework was born, and where it’s headed once the recently drafted—and more user friendly—updates go into effect. Some of the topics we cover include: •To what degree are both the public and private sectors guided by the Cybersecurity Framework? •In what ways does the Cybersecurity Framework address various technologies such as IoT? •How does the Cybersecurity Framework weigh in on the challenges specific to vertical industries?

Securing Government and National Infrastructure May 24, 2018

Show notes

Cybersecurity has come a long way. But unfortunately, with every bit of progress the industry makes, threats and risks are never far behind. Especially now, in the midst of a turbulent political atmosphere, cyberattacks put everything from personal data to personal liberties at stake, leaving our government to address the biggest uncertainty of all: where do we go next? Joining hosts Britta Glade and Hugh Thompson, along with guests Jason Healey, a senior research scholar at Columbia University’s School for International and Public Affairs, and Dmitri Alperovitch, co-founder and CTO of CrowdStrike, as they team up for our newest RSAC podcast episode. Topics covered will include: •What does today’s threat landscape look like and how can we address its many challenges? •Have there been changes in breakout time and speed of adversary activity within compromised networks and what does that mean for future security priorities? •How can infosec professionals engage Boards and other governing bodies in discussions of cybersecurity policy? •What challenges are unique to protecting critical infrastructure?

Innovation Mar 26, 2018

Show notes

Here’s something to ponder: In an alternate universe, where would cybersecurity be today without the continuous pursuit of innovation? While we can only guess, one thing is pretty certain. Cyberattackers would be a lot happier in that universe than they are here. In this episode, we take a look at multiple aspects of industry growth—from revenue and investments to tech advancements and opportunities. Some of the topics we cover include: •What investment strategies are VCs employing in 2018, and how do they differ from previous years? •What criteria should buyers consider in choosing startups to add to their security portfolios? •Based on where the industry is headed, what new and exciting developments can we expect at the RSAC 2018 Early Stage Expo?

AppSec and DevOps Feb 20, 2018

Show notes

What do AppSec and DevOps have in common besides two-syllable monikers? A lot. Which is why their importance—especially from a risk management and compliance perspective—has not gone unnoticed. Nor has their ability to learn from each other along the way. In this episode, we talk with two guests who draw on their very relevant experiences to weigh in on where AppSec and DevOps are situated today and where they’re possibly headed in the future. Some of the topics we cover include: •With a variety of threats slipping through a growing number of cracks, is threat modeling at speed a viable solution? •What skill set is needed for secure coding, and should companies be responsible for ensuring these skills are met? •What is the single greatest impact that DevSecOps is having within organizations?

Privacy and Smart Cities Jan 26, 2018

Show notes

It used to be that cities set themselves apart based on population density, cultural attractions and historical significance. But intelligence? Welcome to the intersection of modern living and the Internet of Things. In this episode, we’ll be talking with two guest speakers who weigh in on whether smart cities have rescinded the welcome mat for privacy. Take a look at some of the topics we’ll be covering: •Given how much smart cities “know” about us, can individual and company privacy still be protected? •What steps should corporations take to safeguard all the data they are gathering on smart city citizens? •What are the privacy implications of inviting smart assistants like Alexa and Siri into our homes?

Spectre And Meltdown Jan 16, 2018

Show notes

It’s never good news when potential security exploits are detected. But when they affect all personal computers, mobile devices and cloud infrastructure dating back to 1995, it creates a problem of a whole new magnitude. In this episode, we’ll be talking with Paul Kocher, the researcher credited with co-discovering Spectre and a co-author of the Meltdown research paper. Some of the topics that we cover include: •How did these vulnerabilities happen, and why were they not detected sooner? •Did the rush to bring technology to market play a role in allowing these exploits to slip through the cracks? •What are the main concerns to look out for—both as an individual and as a CISO?

Hackers and Threats Dec 14, 2017

Show notes

The holiday season is upon us. And our gift to you? An insider look at the potential threats and countering strategies that could have the greatest impact, for better or worse, in 2018. In this year-end episode, we talk with two cybersecurity luminaries who weigh in on the latest trends as part of a word game. Sound too fun to be enlightening? We promise you’ll learn as much as you’ll laugh. Some of the topics that we cover include: •Does threat intelligence sharing have a future now that IOCs are longer relevant? •Will NotPetya--a new class of attack that allowed only seven seconds to respond--be replicated? •How can we help build the next generation of cybersecurity talent to carry on the battle?
