Enterprise Security Weekly (Audio‪)‬ Security Weekly

We ALL use SaaS. It has become ubiquitous in both our personal and professional lives. Somehow, the SaaS Security market has only recently began to emerge. Today's interview with Yoni Shohet, co-founder and CEO of Valence Security, aims to understand why it has taken so long for SaaS Security products to come to market, what that market currently looks like, and what a SaaS Security product actually does.
The concept of Edge computing has evolved over the years and now has a distinct role alongside public cloud. Theresa Lanowitz, from AT&T Cybersecurity, and Chris Goettl from Ivanti join us to discuss what edge computing means for the market and for cybersecurity. Specifically, we'll discuss how:
Strong use cases in the market today for edge computing Security's role in edge computing, as a relative newcomer to part of the broader planning process Edge computing requires new thinking about security because of its distributed nature This segment is sponsored by AT&T Cybersecurity.

This week, we changed things up a bit for the news segment and Allie Mellen joins us as a surprise guest host! We discuss Cisco's Splunk acquisition and what it means for Splunk customers, and "The Blob" - Allie's term describing the negative forces responsible for much of the overhyped marketing, silly trends, and substandard products we see in the industry.

Forrester Research releases a few annual reoccurring cybersecurity reports, but one of the biggest that covers the most ground is the Security Risk Planning Guide, which was recently released for 2024. One of the report's 17 authors, and research director, Merritt Maxim, will walk us through the report's most interesting insights and highlights. This is going to be considerably interesting considering some of this year's trends impacting security teams:
An economic downturn, resulting in layoffs and budget freezes The widespread proliferation of generative AI technology The relentless and resilient nature of cybercrime, despite some notable law enforcement wins Ongoing discussion about the role and relevance of SOCs, CISO's, as well as the security department place in today's enterprise Increased enterprise reliance on SaaS and Cloud, as vendors and service providers continue to struggle with securing their products and services If you've ever played Dungeons & Dragons, you probably know that the quality of the experience depends on how prepared, experienced, and talented the Dungeon Master is.
Today, we'll talk to InfoSec DM and practitioner extraordinaire Ryan Fried about some of the key elements that separate a good cybersecurity tabletop exercise from a bad one! This is literally his day job at Mandiant, and it doesn't hurt to have one of the world's largest libraries of attacker TTPs and the collective lessons learned from thousands of actual incident response experiences.
This week we talk about finding, acquisitions and the state of the market. If you're interested in cybersecurity market discussion, this is the episode for you.
We also discuss what makes a cybersecurity influencer.

Discussing ways to ensure client success with MDR and discuss the ways organizations hurt MDR efficacy with overly broad global exclusions, poor deployment practices, and poor policy hygiene. This segment is sponsored by Sophos. Visit https://securityweekly.com/sophos to learn more about them! We talk to Chris Sanders today, who has been steeped in the world of SecOps and detection/response for many years. After many years of writing books and training folks in the cybersecurity industry, he started delving into cognitive psychology and educational effectiveness. He leverages this knowledge in the training classes he builds and delivers. Today we'll discuss why it seems like defenders are still failing, despite the security industry largely (and arguably) receiving the resources it has been requesting. In this news segment, we start off by discussing funding, acquisitions, and Ironnet's unfortunate demise. We discuss Gmail's new, extra verifications for sensitive actions and Lockheed Martin's Hoppr SBOM and software supply-chain utility kit. We get into CISA's roadmap to help secure open source software, and their offer to run free vulnerability scans for the United States' 150,000+ water utilities. Then, discussion turns back to some more negative items with Brazil's self-inflicted $11 billion dollar data leak, and the MGM/Caesar's ransomware attacks, which seem like they could have a common attacker and initial attack vector (a shared IT support company, perhaps). We also discuss Microsoft's post mortem on the Storm-0558 attack. Kelly Shortridge wants to know, "why are you logging into production hosts", someone is submitting garbage CVEs, and Mozilla finds that privacy policies from auto manufacturers are a privacy TRAIN WRECK. Finally, we wrap up discussing tools that can detect deepfake audio, as well as the likelihood that this will be the start of a game of leapfrog, as deepfakes get increasingly better over time. And we discuss Delphi's offer to create a 'digital clone' of you that could live on forever, haunting your descendants.

Having direct visibility into your access data is crucial for two reasons: 1. Simplifying audit preparation and 2. Managing progress of your identity program to ensure peak performance. Internal auditors and compliance managers need easy access to granular data points to understand and demonstrate compliance to external agencies. Gaining access to real time data creates a great deal of autonomy for audit and identity teams to be able to delve deep into their identity programs and prove compliance. However, making the data available even internally can put organizations at risk for data leaks and data policy violations. Erik will outline how companies can gain access to their current identity search and dashboard data and be able to query in their preferred BI tool based on their own data privacy policies and business needs, significantly reducing risk.

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?

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.
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 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.
