How Can Security Be Smart About Using AI? - Jeff Pollard - ASW #253 Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

We go deep on LLMs and generative AIs to shine a light on areas that security leaders should focus on. There are technical concerns like prompt injection and access controls, and privacy concerns in training and usage. But there are also areas where security tools are starting to address these concerns as well as areas where security tools are adopting AI themselves. We'll share where we see AI showing promise, as well as where we suspect it's still premature.

The Art & Science of Metawar - Winn Schwartau - BSW #318 Aug 28, 2023

Show notes

The metaverse is an evolving storytelling environment in which humans have congregated for millennia to experience alternate, immersive, and simulated realities, with or without technology. Storytelling is designed to influence mental and physical perceptions suiting the purposes of the content creators. Metawar is the art of applying science to create and defend against the influence of alternate realities in the metaverse. What if we can longer rely on our senses to determine what is real and what is fiction? Winn's research into Metawar initially focused on metaversal technologies. Unexpectedly, it morphed into an intensely personal experience, triggering Winn's own Metanoia, which had a profound impact on the entire Metawar Thesis.

Winn joins Business Security Weekly to share his Metanoia.

Ransomware Economy Players, Pentest War Stories, & Ransomware Groups Working Together - ESW #329 Aug 25, 2023

Show notes

During this segment, Jon will explore today's ransomware economy players from IABS to RaaS affiliates, to money launders and now C2Ps. For the discussion, Jon will leverage Halcyon's latest research, which demonstrates a new technique to uncover how C2Ps, like Cloudzy, are used to identify upcoming ransomware campaigns and other advanced attacks. The research revealed that Cloudzy, knowingly or not, provided services to attackers while assuming a legitimate business profile. Threat actors that leveraged Cloudzy include APT groups tied to the Chinese, Iranian, North Korean, Russian, Indian, Pakistani, and Vietnamese governments; a sanctioned Israeli spyware vendor whose tools are known to target civilians; several criminal syndicates and ransomware affiliates whose campaigns have spurred international headlines.

In this session, Snehal will discuss several real-world examples of what autonomous pentesting discovered in networks just like yours. You'll hear more about how fast and easy it was to safely compromise some of the biggest (and smallest) networks in the world - with full domain takeover in a little more than a few hours. Learn how you can safely do the same in your own network today!

In this Black Hat 2023 interview, CRA's Bill Brenner and Sophos' John Shier discuss the company's latest research on the Royal ransomware gang. Though Royal is a notoriously closed off group that doesn't openly solicit affiliates from underground forums, granular similarities in the forensics of the attacks suggest all three groups are sharing either affiliates or highly specific technical details of their activities.

Record startup funding, identity and context, and the Hot Ones format comes to Cyber! - ESW #329 Aug 25, 2023

Show notes

Record funding levels over the last two weeks top 2023 and the same time last year. We discuss Palo Alto's plans for the future, CISA's analysis of the LAPSUS$ hacking group, and the uselessness of Quantum Security pitches. Chrome adds the ability to alert users about malicious extensions. A great post from Thinkst has us talking about why vendors (and buyers) need to be careful about default behaviors and documentation. You won't want to miss the excellent squirrel story - a front end for Reddit that looks like Microsoft Outlook.

Tackling the Perennial Problem of Device Management - Jason Meller - ESW #329 Aug 24, 2023

Show notes

Incredibly, the seemingly simple task of managing corporate-owned devices is still a struggle for most organizations in 2023. Maybe best MDM for Mac doesn't work with Windows, or the best MDM for Windows doesn't work with Mac. Maybe neither have Linux support. Perhaps they don't provide enough insight into the endpoint, or control over it. Whatever the case, security leaders never seem satisfied with their MDM solution and are always investigating new ones. Now, Kolide has stepped in with a unique approach to device management, combining the flexibility and industry support for OSQuery and built to integrate with IdP giant Okta. We discuss Kolide's entrance into the device management space and the current state of MDM - what's wrong with it, and how does Kolide propose to fix it?
