iShield Key Experience, Automated (PKI) Infrastructure, & GenAI Identity Attacks - Kevin Fadaie, Roni Bliss, David Mahdi - ESW Vault Jun 21, 2024

Show notes

FIDO security keys are not new in the authentication workflow. They have been around now for 10 years. What is new is the combination of the most secure multi-factor authentication method not only for logical but also for physical access control with the highest FIPS140-3 security certification in the market.

While AI artificial intelligence is up-and-coming, automating your organization's PKI infrastructure is very much a reality, and can help save your IT team on hardware costs and employee costs in the long term. Additionally, a powerful PKI-as-a-Service solution provides the cryptoagility your organization can rely on as artificial intelligence, post-quantum computing, and shortened certificate validity periods become reality.

Cyberattacks, fraud and breaches, we've all studied them, and we are all aware that identity is under attack. And if we thought it was bad up until now, we haven't fully seen the impact of GenAI based identity attacks. Going beyond just Deepfakes, GenAI-powered malicious services such as FraudGPT, lets novices craft targeted and sophisticated attacks that bypass common IAM and security controls. Identity and security leaders must brace themselves for an increase in the volume, velocity and variety of attacks ("the three V's:). In this talk, former Gartner analyst David Mahdi and CIO of Transmit Security cover what you need to know about GenAI these attacks, and what you can do about it. Specifically, the types of attacks fraudsters are conducting across the identity lifecycle, insight into their tactics and services, and finally recommendations for a path forward.

Bringing Autonomy to AppSec - Dr. David Brumley - ESW Vault Jun 20, 2024

Show notes

Log4j, solar winds, tesla hacks, and the wave of high profile appsec problems aren't going to go away with current approaches like SAST and SCA. Why? They are:

-40 years old, with little innovation

-Haven't solved the problem.

In this segment, we talk about fully autonomous application security. Vetted by DARPA in the Cyber Grand Challenge, the approach is different:

-Prove bugs, rather than trying to list all of them.

-Zero false positives, which leads to better autonomy.

Zero Trust Is Not A SKU - Saša Zdjelar - BSW Vault Jun 17, 2024

Show notes

Check out this interview from the BSW Vault, hand picked by main host Matt Alderman! This segment was originally published on August 9, 2022.

Zero Trust is the security buzzword of the moment, and while it is a very powerful approach, nearly every enterprise security product on the market – and some that aren't even security products — are saying they enable Zero Trust. The problem is this: you can't buy zero trust. It's an approach, an architecture, and a journey, not software, hardware, or a service to deploy. Zero Trust also provides a rare opportunity in security - to reduce cost, improve security AND enhance end-user and customer experience.

Increasing KYB Coverage, Is your SSO on point, & The Future of Identity Management - Vibhuti Sinha, Tarvinder Sembhi, Chris Simmons - ESW #365 Jun 14, 2024

Show notes

Several recent trends underscore the increasing importance of Know Your Business (KYB) practices in today's business landscape. One significant trend is the rise in financial crimes, including money laundering, fraud, and terrorist financing. Technological advancements have transformed the way businesses operate, leading to increased digitization, online transactions, and remote customer interactions. While these developments offer numerous benefits, they also create opportunities for criminals to exploit vulnerabilities. Higher value remote transactions are performed at higher volumes. In addition, government programs such as the PPP program created a need for onboarding business quickly. This created a influx of fraudulent entities and claim who are now exploiting other channels. The convergence of these trends highlights the critical role of KYB in safeguarding businesses, ensuring regulatory compliance, and fostering trust among stakeholders in today's dynamic and interconnected business environment.

From wrestling with integration complexities to managing unexpected glitches, the realities of SSO implementation can produce very different results than what you want. Are users actually using SSO to login or are they still using the direct logins they gained before enabling SSO? We explore the reasons behind why SSO efficacy isn't always what it seems and what you can do about it.

With identity being the new security perimeter, identity platforms are now an integral part of the core security stack. Inherently these platforms are complex and it takes months and years for organizations to realize the business value. And this is going to get worse. The sheer volume and velocity with which new identity types are being added, as well the sophistication of attacks on identity platforms, requires a transformational shift to Identity security and governance. 50% operational efficiency and delivering security at scale are the two big initiatives which organizations have embarked on. In this session, Vibhuti Sinha, Chief Product Officer of Saviynt will share his insights and discuss how Saviynt is at the forefront of this transformation.
