    9 - Cybercrime–The Landscape – Part 1/4

    The news about cybercrime is overwhelming to those who fight to secure our organizations. Cybercrime organizations are sophisticated and constantly changing. But there’s a hidden truth in cybercrime attacks: cybercriminals exploit the same weaknesses they’ve been exploiting for years. This should give us some hope; we know where our organizations are weakest, which gives us a good place to start. But these weaknesses are often hard to address. They require not just technical solutions, but a lot of thought, coordination, planning, and continual re-evaluation. Most often thought of as technical problems, compliance frameworks provide a solid starting point for properly framing the thought, coordination, planning, and continual re-evaluation that is necessary. Our guest, Terry McGraw will walk us through these solutions and the support that compliance frameworks provide to ensure continued success. Terry is a retired Lieutenant Colonel from the United States Army and now serves the CEO of Cape Endeavors, Inc, with over 20 years of providing expertise in cyber security threat analysis, security architectural design, network operations and incident response for both commercial and government sectors.

    8 - The CMMC Rule … Finally

    CMMC’s security requirements are not new. What is new about CMMC is the level of rigor. With the recent publication of the CMMC rule, DoD is ever closer to requiring contractors to comply with CMMC security requirements and back them up with an assessment. The CMMC Rule, like any new regulation, is packed with details. Details that have been rumored, speculated, and drafted. Now that they’re known and final, we’re here to help you see clearer. In today’s episode, our host, Cole French becomes the expert guest. As Director of Cybersecurity Services and CMMC Capability Lead at Kratos, Cole answers all the questions you might still have about CMMC and its impact on your organization: ·       When will assessments start? ·       What can my organization do now? ·       When will CMMC be required in DoD contracts? ·       How does the rule impact my use of external service providers? ·       Can I qualify for a self-assessment or must I go through a C3PAO assessment? And more! Links: The Rule Kratos’ CMMC Services Data Sheet DoD’s CMMC Overview CMMC’s New Rule Has Finally Arrived: 7 Key Takeaways to Help You Move Forward

    7 - AI and Cyber Compliance

    AI is bringing speed and velocity never seen before. Some studies show that the output is the equivalent to what 35-40 humans can produce. This speed and velocity is applied to countless use cases across just about every economic sector. Cybersecurity compliance is laden with repetitive, redundant, and time-consuming manual tasks. While humans bring nuanced ingenuity and problem-solving capabilities, we are prone to errors, especially across such repetitive, redundant, and time-consuming tasks. Worse, cybersecurity compliance requirements are far from standardized, though there is a tremendous amount of overlap. In these circumstances, humans take short cuts. It’s not a matter of whether short cuts result in errors, only how many errors. The real power of AI in the world of cybersecurity compliance is the ability to bridge all gaps of compliance documentation with minimal to no errors. Furthermore, AI can then be trained to leverage compliance documentation to code and perform actual tasks within a system. In the world of cybersecurity, AI opens the doors to a world in which security truly is baked in from the beginning. Today’s guest is Nic Chaillan, technology entrepreneur, software developer, cyber expert and inventor. He has over 23 years of domestic and international experience with strong technical and subject matter expertise in cybersecurity, software development, product innovation, governance, risk management and compliance. Specifically, these fields include Cloud computing, Cybersecurity, DevSecOps, Big Data, multi-touch, mobile, IoT, Mixed Reality, VR, and wearables.

    6 - Supply Chain Security

    Supply chain security is not new, though it certainly feels as though it is. Thanks to globalization, supply chains are ever growing in their depth, complexity, and interconnectedness. Unfortunately, like so many other systems, security of supply chains hasn’t been at the top of the list of things to consider when evaluating supply chains. Understandably, economics led the way. A supply chain exists to foster economic growth and profit-making. None of these are bad but there’s a painful irony: the less security is considered, the greater the costs, which drives down growth and profit-making. Costs aren’t just financial, either. The cost of losing a competitive edge is significant but almost impossible to quantify in dollars. It runs much deeper. As data theft has proliferated on an unprecedented scale, the need for securing supply chains has begun it’s rise to the top of our consciousness. The intriguing thing about supply chain security is that it isn’t all that different than traditional risk management activities. Today’s guest is John Santore, Director of Cybersecurity Services here at Kratos. Together, we’ll dive into supply chain security. We’ll outline what a supply chain is, what to consider when evaluating your supply chain, some of the challenges you might encounter along the way and we’ll outline a basic supply chain risk management approach. Resources: The core tenants of a supply chain risk management approach: Inventory your supply chain Ensure strong relationships are in place with those in your supply chain Develop criteria for evaluating the risk of suppliers within your organization Work with your suppliers to obtain the information necessary to perform the evaluation Develop a process for scrutinizing suppliers that are identified as high-risk Repeat the process on a defined frequency Ensure that it is applied as part of any supplier intake Links: NIST SP 800-161: Cybersecurity Supply Chain Risk Management Practices for Systems and Organizations C-SCRM Factsheet NIST SP 800-218: Secure Software Development Framework Executive Order 14028 OMB M-22-18 OMB M-23-16

    5 - The Market for Lemons

    IT support is tricky for most businesses, especially for those not in the IT business. Thus, IT is a cost of doing business and a high cost at that. High costs drive down profits. Less profit makes it harder for businesses to invest in the products or services that they’re making and selling. Retaining IT staff is even more difficult. This is due to the extremely low unemployment rate and the higher-than-average annual salary. These two factors almost guarantee that IT staff hired by non-IT businesses will eventually get a better offer some place else. To mitigate the problem with IT staff, businesses have turned to outsourcing to managed service providers or external service providers. By doing so businesses are giving up the information necessary to make well-informed choices, instead choosing to trust the IT service providers they’re buying from. This asymmetry of information creates a market phenomenon called a market for lemons. A market for lemons phenomenon exists when sellers hold more knowledge than buyers. Because buyers are price-sensitive and are only willing to pay a certain price the market becomes distorted such that high-quality sellers are gobbled up quickly and the market is left with lemons. In sum, the market for lemons works to drive quality out of the market. Today’s guest is Andy Paul. Andy is an engineer, data privacy professional and a Certified CMMC Assessor from Gray Analytics with more than 15 years of experience helping firms design, implement and secure everything from globally spanning networks to small boutique and highly specified and regulated networks. During our conversation, we discuss the current situation in the IT services market, the market for lemons phenomenon, how the CMMC ecosystem is setup to alleviate the problems that markets for lemons introduce, and how you can outsource confidently.

    4 - Vulnerability Management

    Vulnerabilities are everywhere and on every IT asset within an organization. This makes vulnerability management one of the most important – if not the most important – risk mitigation activities an organization undertakes. But, the complexities inherent in many organizations combined with the sheer number of vulnerabilities leaves many not knowing where to even begin when it comes to vulnerability management. On today’s episode, we’ll demystify vulnerability management by defining some context, outlining an effective vulnerabilities management program, discussing potential challenges, tying it all to compliance, and decoupling vulnerability management from the inherent complexities. Today’s guest is Andrew Overmyer, Security Assessor, subject matter expert, and general cybersecurity jack-of-all-trades at Kratos. During our conversation, we distill this often-nebulous concept into the concrete tenets necessary to build an effective program to drive vulnerability remediation efforts. Resources: ·       The Core Tenets of Vulnerability Management o   Asset Management: a tool or set of tools accompanied by a process that build and maintain an accurate asset inventory; an asset inventory must include but not be limited to network segments and IT assets across all types o   Patch Management: a tool or set of tools accompanied by a process that supports identifying and applying patches o   Vulnerability Scanning: a tool or set of tools accompanied by a process that support identifying vulnerabilities on IT assets; vulnerability scans must be run with credentials, to the greatest extent possible, to fully identify vulnerabilities present o   Compliance Scanning: a tool or set of tools accompanied by a process that support identifying misconfigurations on IT assets; misconfigurations are deviations from a defined baseline (e.g., Center for Internet Security benchmarks) ·       Vulnerability Scanning Schedule o   Daily: Asset scans to identify assets on the network; these are not vulnerability scans, but rather simple scans to identify assets on the network o   Weekly: Vulnerability scans of all assets on the network o   Monthly: Compliance scans of all applicable assets on the network ·       CVSS: Common Vulnerability Scoring System Version 4.0 ·       EPSS: Exploit Prediction Scoring System ·       SSVC: Stakeholder-Specific Vulnerability Categorization

  7. 3 - Export Compliance Overlap

    3 - Export Compliance Overlap

    The number of compliance frameworks is seemingly endless. The lack of standards is problematic enough. Even more problematic, however, is how the compliance frameworks overlaps with one another. When it comes to International Trade and Export Compliance, the problem is overlap is accentuated by the fact that there is not a definitive ‘framework’ for export compliance. Nearly everything is determined on a case-by-case basis. Today’s guest is Sara Hougland, Director of Trade Compliance here at Kratos. During our conversation, we cover export compliance at a high level, discuss the concept of “due diligence”, distinguish ITAR from EAR (and vice versa), and talk about the specifics of export compliance. As mentioned above, ITAR compliance is not a one-size fits all approach. Sara brings her extensive knowledge and experience in the field to provide great information on what, exactly, “ITAR compliant” means and how it benefits an organization.

    2 - Encryption, FIPS 140, and Compliance

    Some recent estimates have postulated that data is now the world’s most valuable asset. Unlike other assets, like oil, for example, data proliferates on a staggering scale. In other words, it doesn’t seem to be finite, subject the law of scarcity. This hammers home the importance of answering the question that each of you are wrestling with: how do I protect all this data? A simple answer to this question is encryption. But any simple answer has you immediately asking more questions: what encryption should I use? How should I configure it? How can I be sure it is adequate? And, perhaps most interestingly, is it possible to future proof my data protection techniques? Today’s guest is Evgeny Gervis, CEO of SafeLogic. SafeLogic, founded in 2012, is a leading cryptographic solutions provider. Their validated, holistic, and interoperable cryptographic solutions enable enduring privacy and trust in the ever-changing digital world. Used by many of the world’s top technology firms, SafeLogic expedites and streamlines the adoption of FIPS 140-validated classical and post-quantum cryptography. Beyond simply using encryption to protect data, we dive into the intersection of compliance and encryption, specifically the role of the FIPS standard for encryption. While Evgeny provides technical expertise, I share some important compliance guidance and nuance we’ve learned from years of supporting our clients in evaluating FIPS 140 implementations. To close, Evgeny and I discuss the future of encryption, standards, and the likely effect of quantum computing.

    1 - FedRAMP Exception Cases

    One of the greatest challenges to security compliance are exception cases. What are exception cases? They are the cases in which a particular compliance objective cannot be achieved, as required. The reasons are myriad: cost, environmental constraints, vendor dependency, and technical limitations. Building an exception case is key to achieving compliance objectives, such as an authorization to operate. The pre-requisite to exception cases is transparency. An organization must transparently articulate the need for an exception. Understanding exceptions is important for fully understanding the risk present within an environment or system. Today’s guest is John Santore, Director of the FedRAMP Capability at Kratos. John and I dive deep into the specifics of the exception cases, including justification, compensating controls, and fallback plans, and the important role each plays in determining the viability and permissibility of exceptions. Using exception cases as a launching point, we also discuss the need to move beyond compliance as an exercise and toward maturity built into cybersecurity practices. Finally, we veer left a bit for a discussion on the recently-released DoD FedRAMP Equivalency Memo.
