Tap, tap - is this thing on? Why do defenders still struggle to detect attacks and attacker activities? Why do so many tools struggle to detect attacks? Today, we've got an expert on detection engineering to help us answer these questions. Thinkst's Canary and Canarytokens make in catching penetration testers and attackers stupidly simple. Thinkst Labs aims to push these tools even further. Casey will share some of the latest research coming out of labs, and we'll ponder why using deception for detection isn't yet a de facto best practice.

The CI/CD pipeline is the backbone of the software development process, so it's critical to ensure you are meeting and exceeding the most critical security measures. Throughout this podcast, Tal Morgenstern, Co-founder and CSO of Vulcan Cyber, will break down the process of how organizations can properly secure a CI/CD pipeline into a checklist of four key steps, as well as offer a handful of tools and tactics security leadership can use to bake risk-based vulnerability management into their CI/CD pipelines. He will explain how securing your CI/CD pipelines alone is not enough to reduce the chances of cyber attacks and the importance for organizations to not only maintain security at speed and scale, but quality at speed and scale. Finally, Tal will dive into how Vulcan Cyber helps organizations to streamline security tasks in every stage of the cyber-risk management process, integrating with their existing tools for true end-to-end risk management.

You know SBOMs can help you keep track of your software assets and therefore, their vulnerabilities. Despite even the White House pressing the issue, many vendors aren't forthcoming with SBOMs, and you can't afford to wait. With Tanium's Roland Diaz, we'll discuss the most important considerations when generating your own SBOMs (which is now something their product can also do!).

Organizations today operate under the constant looming threat of cyber attacks. While reactive cybersecurity measures will help organizations respond to past and present threats, offensive measures are the only chance to get ahead of attackers and beat them to the punch. There is now a greater call for offensive solutions like penetration testing and red teaming to evaluate environments so security gaps can be identified and closed before a breach. Join us as we discuss how these solutions work both independently and together, as well as practical ways organizations can build or mature an offensive security strategy.
