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.

Like our interview with Allie Mellen last week (episode 253, check it out also), we have another analyst roundtable here (all ESW hosts are former analysts), discussing one of the hottest new cybersecurity categories - XDR. This discussion will touch on why the only thing about XDR that was a surprise was maybe the name - we all saw this coming, partly due to the failure of other, less effective products and technologies. Perhaps more interesting will be to get Scott's thoughts on where we're going from a macro perspective. Distributed SOC? Automated remediation? Next-gen XDR?

Not all security is complicated--many aspects boil down to noticing that something is off. Attentive and curious employees are an overlooked safety mechanism, as is handling problems in a constructive way.

Passwordless is everywhere these days, but like most new security markets, it's shrouded in confusion. There are already dozens of vendors promising to kill the password, but they don't all seem to be coming at the challenge the same way. In this "First Look" segment, our goal is to define Passwordless, discuss some of the companies doing it, and how they're doing it. We'll even go through a few live passwordless demos.
