The background to the topic, why is it something that interests you? How do you convince developers to take your course? 2. What do you think the root cause of the gap is? 3. Who is causing the gaps? (‘go fast' culture, overzealous security, GRC requirements, basically everyone?) 4. Where do gaps begin? Is it the ‘need' to ‘move fast'? 5. What can devs do to involve security in their process? Sprint planning? SCA tools? 6. How have you seen this go wrong at organizations? 7. How important is it to have security early in the product development process? 8. What sort of challenges do you think mainstream security people face in AppSec scenarios? 9. How does Product Security differ from Application Security? (what if the product is an application?) 10. What are the key development concepts that security people need to be familiar with to effectively get involved in AppSec/ProdSec? 11.. How do you suggest a security team approach AppSec/ProdSec?                Leadership buy-in                Effective/valuable processes                Tools should achieve a goal 12.

Join Mary and I as we discuss the functions of a board, messaging to various levels of leadership and teams, and what it takes to make that leap to being a CISO. And when you're done, and you need someone to help your org get more mature, contact the team at GoldiKnox. #cybersecurity #informationsecurity #ciso #leadership #GRC   Questions and topics: https://hbr.org/2023/05/boards-are-having-the-wrong-conversations-about-cybersecurity “Just 69% of responding board members see eye-to-eye with their chief information security officers (CISOs). Fewer than half (47%) of members serve on boards that interact with their CISOs regularly, and almost a third of them only see their CISOs at board presentations. “ They obviously have different priorities, so what brings everyone to the table to discuss? Are they even worried about security? Tactical goals vs. org goals and aligning them What are boards most worried about these days?  Staying relevant in the face of AI? What tech will protext them from the newest threats? GRC is forced security, security is completely optional, Compliance requires some sort of security   Additional information / pertinent LInks (Would you like to know more?): Research organizations (gartner, forrester, etc) https://goldiknox.com/  https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/board-needs-help-planning-cybersecurity-start-here-daniel-briley-k7xzc https://hbr.org/2022/11/is-your-board-prepared-for-new-cybersecurity-regulations https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndca/pr/former-chief-security-officer-uber-sentenced-three-years-probation-covering-data   Show points of Contact: Amanda Berlin: @infosystir @hackershealth  Brian Boettcher: @boettcherpwned Bryan Brake: https://linkedin.com/in/brakeb  Brakesec Website: https://www.brakeingsecurity.com Youtube channel: https://youtube.com/@brakeseced Twitch Channel: https://twitch.tv/brakesec Discord: https://discord.gg/brakesec

Opinions expressed by the host and guests can change at any time, and do not represent views of past, present, or future employers.   Guest Bio:  Nicole is the Chief Product Officer at Axio. Nicole has spent her career building awareness around the benefits of usable security and human-centered security as a way to increase company revenue and create a seamless user experience.   Youtube VOD Link: https://youtube.com/live/tFaAB9an47g   Questions and topics: Usable security: is it an oxymoron? What determines if the security is ‘usable' or no? We sacrifice security for a better UX, what can be done to alleviate that? Or is it some sort of sliding scale in “poor UX, amazing security or awesome UX, poor security” Examples of poor UX for ‘people': MFA, and password managers. SEC updates and ‘material events' and how that would affect security, IR, and other company reporting functions. Also, additional documentation (Regulation S-K Item 106) https://www.linkedin.com/posts/nicole-sundin-5225a1149_sec-adopts-rules-on-cybersecurity-risk-management-activity-7090065804083290112-ISD8 Are companies ready to talk about their cybersecurity? Can the SEC say “you're not doing enough?” What is ‘enough'? Are we heading toward yet another audit needed for public companies, similar to SOX? When does an 8-K get publicly disclosed? Materiality is based on a “reasonable investor”? So, you don't need to announce that until you're certain, and it's based on what you can collect? Cyber Risk Management and some good examples of how to set up a proper  cyber risk organization   Additional Links: https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Projects/usable-cybersecurity/images-media/Is%20Usable%20Security%20an%20Oxymoron.pdf  http://web.mit.edu/Saltzer/www/publications/protection/Basic.html  https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-139  https://www.sec.gov/news/statement/munter-statement-assessing-materiality-030922  https://www.pwc.com/us/en/services/consulting/cybersecurity-risk-regulatory/sec-final-cybersecurity-disclosure-rules.html  https://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/research/technology-onepagers/hc-computing.html  https://securityscorecard.com/blog/what-is-cyber-security-performance-management/

We also talk about what a ‘junior position' in infosec looks like with AI doing all the “Level 1 SOC Analyst” type roles normally given to someone fresh to the security industry.   Questions and topics: Is infosec over reliant on automation? Automation comes with its own challenges. Documentation woes Automation is usually found in userland   Aronetics' Thor provides defense and counter-offense tamper-proof technology digitally tied to    Letter of Marque - good idea, or geopolitical disaster waiting to happen? Siloes and communication -best ways to overcome those in an org and outside? How do we overcome siloing?   Overcoming security challenges?Identity management - 2FA is everywhere, there's already ways around 2FA, so what now? 3FA? Biometrics? Make everyone carry around physical tokens that we can lose?   Blog post: https://www.aronetics.com/post-quantum-cryptography/ What do we need to protect against?

Show Topic Summary (less than 300 words) Insider threat still exists, Lynsey Wolf talks with us about HR's role in insider threat, how prevalent investigations are in the post-pandemic work from home environment.   Questions and potential sub-topics (5 minimum): What is the difference between insider threat and insider risk? Motivators of insider threat (not much different than espionage,IMO -bryan)  (MICE: Money, Ideology, Compromise, and Ego.) https://thestack.technology/pentagon-leaks-insider-threat-sysadmin/  75% of all insider threats are being kicked off by HR departments. In short, it's proactive. “How did HR figure that out?” How are investigations normally initiated? What tools are they implementing to check users or predicting a disgruntled employee?” UEBA? CASB? Employee surveys that are ‘anonymous'? Someone who reported others and it was dismissed? What if HR ‘gets it wrong' or ‘it's a hunt to find people no into ‘groupthink' or ‘not a culture fit'? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/french-worker-fired-for-not-being-fun-at-work-wins-lawsuit-cubik-responds/ How can organizations be mindful of how and what data is collected to mitigate risk without affecting employee trust? And who watches the watchers to ensure data is handled responsibly? Are there any privacy guidelines companies need to understand before they implement such a system? (GDPR? CCPA? Privacy notices? Consent to monitoring on login? https://securiti.ai/blog/hr-employee-data-protection/ ) Are companies causing the thing they are protecting against? (making an insider threat because they've become repressive?) (hoping there's an ‘everything in moderation idea here… finding the happy medium between responsible ‘observability' and ‘surveillance') Lots of ‘insider threat' tools, including from EDR companies. Do companies do a good job of explaining to employees why you need EDR? Quiet Quitting - latest term for companies to use to describe “employee has a side gig”. How does this figure into insider threat? Is it assumed that people only have one ‘thing' they do, or did the lack of a commute give people more time during the pandemic to diversify? Solutions for employees? Separate their work and private/side gig?

  Guest info Name and Title: Nickolas Means, VP of Engineering at SYM Email/Social Media Contact: @nmeans on Twitter, @nmeans@ruby.social on Mastodon Time Zone (if other than Pacific): Central (Austin, TX)   Show Topic Summary / Intro We welcome Nickolas Means to the stream. Nick is the VP of Engineering at Sym, the adaptive access tool built for developers. He's been an engineering leader for more than a decade, focused on helping teams build velocity through trust and autonomy. He's also a regular speaker at conferences around the world, teaching more effective software development practices through stories of real-world engineering triumphs and failures. He's also the co-host of “Managing Up” a podcast with  Management tips, stories, and interviews to help navigate the challenges of managing creative and technical teams.   Questions and potential sub-topics (5 minimum): 'blameless environment' during an incident. We can discuss working an incident and if a 'blameless' environment the exception or the rule (stories from the trenches are always welcome) Building a compliance program without tanking your engineering velocity... I'd like to speak about that in terms of overall security (product security, scanning, license checks, and more) Is there a playbook to building more efficient dev and security teams? Can cross training dev in basic security, or security in sprint planning processes make a better experience for all? Will we ever solve ‘shifting left'? What does Shifting Left really mean to engineering teams, or is that a term security people created to try and speak ‘dev/eng'?  ‘Managing Up'... security is often asked to do a lot. Be STO when you don't manage the resources, timeline, etc. When teams are small, you're either in the operational/tactical, when management wants a ‘tactical/strategic' view. What can the overall business do to create a good working relationship out of the gate? “Make a dashboard” is all well and good, except when your org lacks maturity across the board. What are some realistic expectations management should have when the company is small?  (I will provide additional context during the stream)   Additional information / pertinent Links (would you like to know more?): https://managingup.show/ - Managing Up Podcast “Management tips, stories, and interviews to help navigate the challenges of managing creative and technical teams.“ https://symops.com/ - Adaptive access management tools built for engineers https://www.ted.com/talks/brene_brown_the_power_of_vulnerability?language=en https://www.terraform.io/ https://news.stanford.edu/2022/12/05/explains-recent-tech-layoffs-worried/    Show Points of Contact: Amanda Berlin: @infosystir @hackershealth  Brian Boettcher: @boettcherpwned Bryan Brake: @bryanbrake @bryanbrake@mastodon.social Website: https://www.brakeingsecurity.com Twitch: https://twitch.tv/brakesec  Youtube: https://youtube.com/c/BDSPodcast

Wolfgang has held roles such as the Vice President of Consulting, Security Officer, and Vice President of Technology Services. He regularly advises clients on topics ranging from risk management, incident response, business continuity, secure development life cycles, and more.”   https://jwgoerlich.com/   RSA talks and discussion Phishing tests -  https://www.securityweek.com/research-simulated-phishing-tests-make-organizations-less-secure https://hbr.org/2021/04/phishing-tests-are-necessary-but-they-dont-need-to-be-evil What are the goal of these tests?     That someone will click and activate (is that not a given?) What made them popular in the first place? Is this an example of management not taking security seriously, so we needed proof?   https://www.csoonline.com/article/3619610/best-practices-for-conducting-ethical-and-effective-phishing-tests.html FTA: “This will only undermine the efforts of cybersecurity teams as a whole, alienating the very people they aim to engage with, Barker adds. “People generally don't like to be tricked, and they don't usually trust the people who trick them. One counterargument I often hear is that criminals use emotive lures in a phish, so why shouldn't we? Well, criminals also cause physical damage to property, take systems offline, and disrupt services, but physical social engineers and pen-testers don't—for good reason. Simulations should not cause active harm.””   Is this part of a larger issue? Why do we treat these tests the way we do? Typical scenario?Mgmt does not believe or trust their internal people to tell them what is wrong, and takes a 3rd party source/product to tell them the same thing.     Are these stories Apocryphal? Or just my experience?

Mieng Lim, VP of Product at Digital Defense by HelpSystems Topic she will discuss: Outsmarting RaaS: Strategies to Implement Before, During, and After a Ransomware Attack Webinar: https://www.digitaldefense.com/resources/videos/webinar-outsmarting-raas-strategies-against-ransomware-attacks/ https://www.digitaldefense.com/blog/infographic-the-latest-ransomware-facts/ https://www.digitaldefense.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Digital-Defense-Inc.-Ransomware-Infographic-070621.jpg https://www.digitaldefense.com/blog/the-terrifying-truth-about-ransomware/ Prepared questions from Mieng: Belief that “malicious actors today are using cutting edge techniques for the majority of attacks” Belief that “majority of compromises are via zero-day vulnerabilities” Organizations continue to leave systems unpatched with years old vulnerabilities Belief that “my organization doesn't have anything a malicious actor would be interested in…I'm not a target” My organization has cyber insurance and that's enough. “I don't have budget to buy all the products/hire the staff needed to protect my network.” https://www.techrepublic.com/article/initial-access-brokers-how-are-iabs-related-to-the-rise-in-ransomware-attacks/   https://www.pandasecurity.com/en/mediacenter/security/ransomware-statistics/ As new approaches to ransomware like double extortion continue to pay off, attackers are demanding higher ransom payouts than ever before. The average ransom demand in the first half of 2021 amounted to $5.3 million — a 518% increase compared to 2020. The average ransom payment has also increased by 82% since 2020, reaching a whopping $570,000 in the first half of 2021 alone. The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received 2,084 ransomware complaints in the first half of 2021. (FBI and CISA) At least one employee downloaded a malicious mobile application in 46% of organizations in 2021.

For context, we at the K12 Security Information Exchange (K12 SIX) are a relatively new K12-specific ISAC – launched to help protect the US K12 sector from emerging cybersecurity risk. One of our signature accomplishments in our first year was the development and release of our ‘essential protections' series – an effort to establish baseline cybersecurity standards for schools. See: https://www.k12six.org/essential-cybersecurity-protections https://www.grf.org/ Global Resilience Federation We will help your industry develop or enhance a trusted threat information sharing community, obtain actionable intelligence, and support you in emergencies.   We all count on the resiliency of essential services - services from the electricity powering our homes and the connectivity of entertainment apps, to the legal systems and financial pipelines driving the global economy. But this infrastructure faces constant threats from hacktivists, criminals, and rogue states, and they are growing in sophistication.   Leveraging nearly 20 years of ISAC and ISAO expertise, GRF is a non-profit created to connect sharing communities, for mutual defense.     https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5e441b46adfb340b05008fe7/t/611d5fceff375d79ff4507c7/1629315022292/K12+SIX+Essential+Cybersecurity+Protections+2021+2022.pdf   https://theconversation.com/cybercriminals-use-pandemic-to-attack-schools-and-colleges-167619   https://edscoop.com/texas-school-paid-547k-ransomware-jam/    https://statescoop.com/ransomware-allen-texas-school-district-email-parents/    https://www.toptal.com/insights/innovation/cybersecurity-in-higher-education   https://www.highereddive.com/spons/inside-higher-educations-ransomware-crisis-how-colleges-and-universities/609688/   https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/07/politics/ransomware-schools-website/index.html https://www.13abc.com/2021/02/22/toledo-public-school-students-seeing-effects-of-massive-data-breach/ 2020 report: https://k12cybersecure.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/StateofK12Cybersecurity-2020.pdf   85-89% are underneath 2,500 students Omg: https://www.edweek.org/leadership/education-statistics-facts-about-american-schools/2019/01   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otv0KzkfLSc –Florida mom, daughter accused of rigging homecoming queen votes break silence l GMA   There are 130,930 public and private K-12 schools in the U.S., according to 2017-18 data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
