Based on what we know so far (which is limited and could change), the Uber breach appears to be a classic example of how penetration testers and criminals alike break into large organizations. In this segment, we'll discuss how the attack happened. We'll go over the controls that failed, why they failed, and what Uber could have done to prevent or detect this attack. For those listening live, questions are welcome!

Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) is not your dad's DLP. This new category has emerged to tackle one of the toughest areas of security: protecting data. Today, Jonathan Roizin from Flow Security helps us understand what this new security category is all about and how it differs from the OG, false positive heavy DLP we'd all rather forget.

From its origins a decade ago, the grassroots movement to enshrine in law the right to repair our stuff (read: cell phones, laptops, home appliances, cars, machinery) has morphed into a potent, global movement. Today, much of the debate over right to repair laws has focused on issues like concentrations of market power by large corporations and anti-competitive behavior with regard to service and repair of "smart," connected products. However, there is a less-discussed but equally potent argument in favor of repair: cybersecurity and data privacy. In this conversation, Paul Roberts, the founder of SecuRepairs.org (pron: Secure Repairs), talks about the dire state of device security on the Internet of Things and how efforts by manufacturers to limit access to software updates, diagnostic tools and parts exacerbates IoT cyber risk, even as it burdens consumers and the environment.

Security training isn't just about anti-phishing and security awareness for employees. When reading through breach details, a similar picture often emerges: the people were there, the tools were in place, but the people didn't know how to use the tools effectively. Every day, security tools catch attacks, but it doesn't matter if a human doesn't notice and tools are in 'monitor only' modes.

Since the dawn of the internet, companies have been fighting cyber vulnerabilities with a myriad of traditional technologies. And assigning cybersecurity training to people without really knowing its effectiveness or being able to tell the difference between knowledge and behavior. This is why AwareGO created the Human Risk Assessment. Designed by behavioral and cybersecurity experts, it allows organizations to measure human risk and resilience across a number of critical cybersecurity threat vectors. It measures cyber risks connected to social media that are not only personal but can affect the workplace as well. It helps assess awareness of secure password handling with multiple interactive experiences and situations. And it allows you to discover how employees would deal with tricky situations around the workplace, such as tailgating and shouldersurfing …. and issues related to remote work. All in a safe and friendly environment. After completing the assessment employees get individualized results with an explanation of what they did right and what they could have done better. This offers guidance and a chance to learn. The overall results help organizations gather actionable insights and make informed decisions about their security strategy. The Human Risk Assessment works as a stand alone product but its flexibility allows integration into existing platforms. When combined with AwareGO’s live action training content it can bring your organization’s cyber resilience to the next level.

In 2023, at least five new “rights-based” data privacy laws will become enforceable in the United States at the state level, including the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). Common to all of these laws are information security requirements, including the need for risk assessments and the need for authenticating data access requests. In this podcast we’ll speak with an information security legal veteran on what these new laws mean for cybersecurity professionals and their data protection programs.

Security analysts can move past traditional Indicators of Compromise from threat intel like domains, hashes, URLs, and IP addresses. These indicators typically aren't valid shortly after the incidents happen. Modern threat hunting by doing things like reading recent and relevant security articles, pull out behaviors that attackers are doing like commands such as net group "domain admins" or RDPing from workstation to workstation and translating those to threat hunting queries. I will talk about how to start small and will give a few examples where we proactively found evil in our environment.

Heightened emotions, demands for updates, not knowing how bad things might be... Incident response isn't easy, but practice and the right tools can make it a whole lot less stressful. Some regulations like PCI require annual IR tests, but is that enough? Imagine playing a sport where the team meets for one half-hearted practice once a year. How would that team perform under pressure? How would they communicate? Say this sports analogy has convinced you - the IR team should practice more and should practice effectively. Questions still remain - how often? Are tabletops enough, or are live exercises and simulations necessary? We'll aim to answer these questions and more during this interview with Tim and Paul from Tanium.

In order to run a successful SOC, security leaders rely on tools with different strengths to create layers of defense. This has led to a highly siloed industry with over 2,000 vendors, each with their own specific function and who very seldom work together. To gain an advantage on attackers, we need to start seeing cybersecurity as a team sport––united for a shared mission. In this session, ExtraHop's Jamie Moles and CrowdStrike's Dixon Styres discuss why and how vendors should work together to enable better integrated security for their customers. They'll share their joint philosophy toward an ecosystem approach to security and will show off some of the specific capabilities of the integration between ExtraHop Reveal(x) 360 and CrowdStrike Falcon in a live demo.
