Similarities Between SOX And SEC's Cyber Rule - Padraic O'Reilly - BSW #373 Nov 19, 2024

Show notes

The Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act was a watershed moment in corporate governance, fundamentally altering how companies approached financial reporting and internal operational controls. By holding executives personally accountable for the accuracy of financial reports, SOX restored investor confidence in the wake of corporate malfeasance. The SEC's new cybersecurity rule represents a similar pursuit to restore investor confidence — this time for the digital age, centered on integrating cybersecurity into overall risk management.

Padraic O'Reilly, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at CyberSaint, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss the similarities between SOX and SEC's Cyber Rule. The SEC's cybersecurity rule introduced several vital requirements that build on the principles established by SOX, including:

Companies must report material cybersecurity incidents on Form 8-K, ensuring timely and transparent disclosure to investors.
Companies must provide regular updates on their cybersecurity risk management policies, the role of management in implementing these policies and the board's oversight of cybersecurity risks.
The rule encourages companies to disclose the cybersecurity expertise of their board members, highlighting the importance of informed oversight in managing cyber risks.
The rule requires cybersecurity disclosures to be presented in Inline Extensible Business Reporting Language, or Inline XBRL, ensuring consistency and comparability across filings.

AI and the Autonomous SOC - Separating Hype from Reality - Justin Beals, Itai Tevet - ESW #384 Nov 15, 2024

Show notes

There have been a lot of bold claims about how generative AI and machine learning will transform the SOC. Ironically, the SOC was (arguably) invented only because security products failed to make good on bold claims. The cybersecurity market is full of products that exist only to solve the problems created by other security products (Security Analytics, SOC Automation, Risk-Based Vulnerability Management).

Other products are natural evolutions and pick up where others leave off. In this interview, we'll explore what AI can and can't do, particularly when it comes to alert triage and other common SOC tasks.

Segment Resources:

Naturally, the next approach to try is a federated one. How do we break down cybersecurity into more bite-sized components? How do we alleviate all this CISO stress we've heard about, and make their job seem less impossible than it does today?

This will be a more standards and GRC focused discussion, covering:

the reasons why cross-walking doesn't work
the reasons why traditional TPRM approaches (e.g. questionnaires) don't work
opportunities for AI to help
risk management or sales support?

This week in the enterprise security news,

Upwind Security gets a massive $100M Series B
Trustwave and Cybereason merge
NVIDIA wants to force SOC analyst millennials to socialize with AI agents
Has the cybersecurity workforce peaked?
Why incident response is essential for resilience
an example of good product marketing
who is Salvatore Verini, Jr. and why does he have all my data?

No CVE and No Accountability - Ed Skoudis - PSW #851 Nov 14, 2024

Show notes

Alright, so we dove deep into some pretty wild stuff this week. We started off talking about zip files inside zip files. This is a variation of old-school zip file tricks, and the latest method described here is still causing headaches for antivirus software. Then we geeked out about infrared signals and the Flipper Zero, which brought back memories of the TV-B-Gone. But the real kicker was our discussion on end-of-life software and the whole CVE numbering authority mess. Avanti's refusal to issue a CVE for their end-of-life product sparked a heated debate about cybersecurity accountability and conflicts of interest.

Ed Skoudis joins us to announce this year's Holiday Hack Challenge!

Modernizing AppSec - Melinda Marks - ASW #307 Nov 12, 2024

Show notes

In this week's interview, Melinda Marks' joins us to discuss her latest research. Her recent report Modernizing Application Security to Scale for Cloud-Native Development delves into many aspects and trends affecting AppSec as it matures, particularly in cloud-first organizations.

We also discuss the fuzzy line between "cloud-native" AppSec and everything else that refuses to disappear, particularly for organizations that weren't born cloud-native and still have legacy workloads to worry about.

Integrating security into the SDLC and CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code (IaC) trends, best of breed vs platform, and other aspects of AppSec get discussed as well!

This week, in the Application Security News, we spend a lot of time on some recent vulnerabilities. We take this opportunity to talk about how to determine whether or not a vulnerability is worth a critical response.

Can AI fully automate DevSecOps Governance? Adrian has his reservations, but JLK is bullish.

Is it bad that 70% of DevSecOps professionals don't know if code is AI generated or not?

Cybersecurity Budgets: the Journey from Reactive to Proactive - Todd Thiemann, Theresa Lanowitz - ESW #383 Nov 08, 2024

Show notes

CISOs struggle more with reactive budgets than CIOs or CTOs. It's not that part of the CISO's budget shouldn't be reactive, it's certainly necessary to an extent. The problem is when proactive measures suffer as a result. In this interview, we'll discuss some of the causes behind this and some strategies for breaking out of this loop.

Is it a product or a feature? Is it DLP 4.0, or something legitimately new? Buy now, or wait for further consolidation?

There are SO many questions about this market. It's undeniably important - data hygiene and governance continues to be a frustrating mess in many organizations, but is this the solution? We'll discuss with Todd to find out.
