Pointers and Perils for Presentations - Josh Goldberg - ASW #251 Aug 15, 2023

Show notes

A key part of modern appsec is communication. From interpersonal skills for fostering collaborations to presentation skills for delivering a message, the ability to tell a story and engage an audience is a skill that doesn't appear on top ten lists and that doesn't come up in secure coding checklists. Josh shares his path to becoming a presenter on technical topics, including stumbles he's made along the way and how he helps others develop their skills for slides.

Black Hat Startup Spotlight Finalists - Alex Matrosov, Ian Amit - ESW #327 Aug 11, 2023

Show notes

Binarly is one of only a few startups focused on highlighting security issues in firmware. The company has discovered a remarkable number of vulnerabilities in firmware in a very short time. Its' founder, Alex Matrosov, joins us to discuss insights discovered along his company's journey to convince vendors that firmware is worth securing. This week in the Enterprise News, we discuss Kubernetes attacks and CPU attacks. We also have a better idea of what valuation losses might be for security startups, thanks to the Check Point/Perimeter 81 acquisition. MITRE releases, ATLAS, an ATT&CK-style framework for machine learning models. Bloodhound's new rearchitected Community Edition is out, and Las Vegas's Sphere hasn't been hacked... yet. We discuss Ian Amit's background and what led him to want to leave the CISO life to create a startup! It's one thing for a security product to report problems to a security team. Everyone has these tools, but the problem is that someone has to analyze and triage all those findings, leading to alert fatigue and not a lot getting fixed. Gomboc is proposing to address this gap by auto-generating the fix.

Incident Response Readiness - Gerard Johansen - PSW #794 Aug 10, 2023

Show notes

Just how prepared are you for the next cybersecurity incident? Depending on the definition, security incidents likely happen daily at most enterprises. Because we can't prevent everything, the key to success is to be in a constant state of readiness. This means regular training with a focus on preparation. Gerard will walk us through tips and tricks to keep our incident response teams in tip-top condition. In the Security News: Hacking your Tesla to enable heated seats (and so much more), The Downfall of Intel CPUs, The Inception of AMD CPUs, that’s right we’re talking about 3 different hardware attacks in this episode! Intel issues patches and fixes stuff even though its hard to exploit, Rubber Ducky you’re the one, history of Wii hacking, don’t try this at home Linux updates, we are no longer calling about your vehicle warranty, cool hardware hacking stuff including building your own lightsaber, you Wifi keys are leaking again, the evil FlipperZero, Buskill, complaining publicly works sometimes, these are not the CVSS 10.0 flaws you are looking for, when side channel attacks, dumpster diving for plane ticks, and go ahead, try and hack a robo-taxi! All that and more on this episode of Paul’s Security Weekly!

You've Got Appsec, But Do You Have ArchSec? - Merritt Baer - ASW #250 Aug 08, 2023

Show notes

Mature shops should be looking to a security architecture process to help scale their systems and embrace security by design. We talk about what it means to create a security architecture process, why it's not just another security review, and why it requires security to dig into engineering.

Deciphering The National Cyber Workforce and Education Strategy - Dr. José-Marie Griffiths - BSW #315 Aug 08, 2023

Show notes

On July 31st, 2023, the Biden administration released a national strategy addressing cyber workforce shortages, calling long-standing vacancies a national security imperative. The National Cyber Workforce and Education Strategy focuses on four major pillars: equipping every American with cyber skills, transforming cyber education, expanding and enhancing the national cyber workforce and strengthening the federal cyber workforce. The strategy relies heavily on non-governmental and private sector entities to provide funding, internship and apprenticeship programs to increase the number of workers with cybersecurity skills. One of those entities referenced in the strategy is Dakota State University. Dr. José-Marie Griffiths joins us to discuss education's role in the strategy, but offers other insights, including: - immigration policies and how it limits the current cyber workforce, - diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and the reduction of women in the cyber workforce, and - what can the cyber community do to help.

Surging Email Impersonation Threats, Creating Online Kids' Safety Community - Fareedah Shaheed, John Wilson - ESW #326 Aug 04, 2023

Show notes

While malware and ransomware tend to dominate cybersecurity headlines, Fortra’s research shows that nearly 99% of email threats reaching corporate inboxes utilize impersonation rather than malware. Email impersonation is a key component of credential phishing, advance fee fraud, hybrid vishing, and business email compromise schemes. Because email impersonation scams rely on social engineering rather than technology, the barrier to entry for an aspiring cybercriminal is almost non-existent. In this segment, we’ll explore strategies for defending against email impersonation. Segment Resources: [Fortra Cybersecurity Learning Resources](https://www.fortra.com/resources/cybersecurity-education?code=cmp-0000012210&ls=717710002&utm_source=cyberrisk-alliance&utm_medium=contsynd&utm_campaign=ft-brand-awareness) [2023 BEC Trends, Targets, and Changes in Techniques](https://static.fortra.com/agari/pdfs/report/fta-ag-2023-bec-trends-targets-changes-in-techniques-rp.pdf) This segment is sponsored by Fortra.

Today, we'll talk about the challenges she has faced in building a training company from scratch, targeting both consumers, and private business. Her journey is interesting from multiple perspectives: as a business owner, an immigrant, becoming an influencer, and establishing herself as a cybersecurity thought leader - all within less than half a decade! This week in the Enterprise Security News: we discuss securing open source, Cyberinsurance, Hackerone Layoffs, and whether or not Sharks have noses!

Incident Response Stories - Bill Swearingen - PSW #793 Aug 03, 2023

Show notes

Our good friend Bill Swearingen joins us to talk about some of the incident response work he's been doing lately.

Vistit the Awesome Incident Response project here: https://github.com/hevnsnt/Awesome_Incident_Response/ In the Security News: Canon shoots out your Wifi password, I want to be Super Admin, you don’t need fancy hacks to bypass air gaps, U.S. Senator attacks Microsoft, Tenable CEO attacks Microsoft, we should all be hopeful despite the challenges in infosec, SEC requires reporting Cyberattacks within 4 days, Mirai attacks Tomcat, scanning a car before stealing it, a little offensive appliance, no Internet access for you and that will solve the problem, Ubuntu blunders, it’s so secure no one can actually use it, and yet another CPU data leak!
