AI Governance, the next frontier for AI Security. But what framework should you use? ISO/IEC 42001 is an international standard that specifies requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) within organizations. It is designed for entities providing or utilizing AI-based products or services, ensuring responsible development and use of AI systems. But how do you get certified? What's the process look like? Martin Tschammer, Head of Security at Synthesia, joins Business Security Weekly to share his ISO 42001 certification journey. From corporate culture to the witness audit, Martin walks us through the certification process and the benefits they have gained from the certification. If you're considering ISO 42001 certification, this interview is a must see. In the leadership and communications section, Are 2 CEOs Better Than 1?

Secrets end up everywhere, from dev systems to CI/CD pipelines to services, certificates, and cloud environments. Vlad Matsiiako shares some of the tactics that make managing secrets more secure as we discuss the distinctions between secure architectures, good policies, and developer friendly tools. We've thankfully moved on from forced 90-day user password rotations, but that doesn't mean there isn't a place for rotating secrets. It means that the tooling and processes for ephemeral secrets should be based on secure, efficient mechanisms rather than putting all the burden on users. And it also means that managing secrets shouldn't become an unmanaged risk with new attack surfaces or new points of failure.

What a time to have this conversation! Mere days from the certain destruction of CVE, averted only in the 11th hour, we have a chat about vulnerability management lifecycles. CVEs are definitely part of them. Vulnerability management is very much a hot mess at the moment for many reasons. Even with perfectly stable support from the institutions that catalog and label vulnerabilities from vendors, we'd still have some serious issues to address, like: disconnects between vulnerability analysts and asset owners gaps and issues in vulnerability discovery and asset management different options for workflows between security and IT: which is best? patching it like you stole it Oh, did we mention Matt built an open source vuln scanner? https://sirius.publickey.io/ Show Notes: https://securityweekly.com/esw-403

Zero Trust isn't a new concept, but not one easily implemented. How do organizations transform cybersecurity from a "default allow" model, where everything is permitted unless blocked, to a "default deny" model? Danny Jenkins, Co-founder and CEO at ThreatLocker, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss this approach. Deny by default means all actions are blocked by default, with only explicitly approved activities allowed. This shift enhances security, reduces vulnerabilities, and sets a new standard for protecting organizations from cyber threats. ‍ Danny will discuss how ThreatLocker not only protects your endpoints and data from zero-day malware, ransomware, and other malicious software, but provides solutions for easy onboarding, management, and eliminates the lengthy approval processes of traditional solutions.

The breaches will continue until appsec improves. Janet Worthington and Sandy Carielli share their latest research on breaches from 2024, WAFs in 2025, and where secure by design fits into all this. WAFs are delivering value in a way that orgs are relying on them more for bot management and fraud detection. But adopting phishing-resistant authentication solutions like passkeys and deploying WAFs still seem peripheral to secure by design principles. We discuss what's necessary for establishing a secure environment and why so many orgs still look to tools. And with LLMs writing so much code, we continue to look for ways LLMs can help appsec in addition to all the ways LLMs keep recreating appsec problems.

Default deny is an old, and very recognizable term in security. Most folks that have been in the industry for a long time will associate the concept with firewall rules. The old network firewalls, positioned between the public Internet and private data centers, however, were relatively uncomplicated and static. Most businesses had a few hundred firewall rules at most. The idea of implementing default deny principles elsewhere were attempted, but without much success. Internal networks (NAC), and endpoints (application control 1.0) were too dynamic for the default deny approach to be feasible. Vendors built solutions, and enterprises tried to implement them, but most gave up. Default deny is still an ideal approach to protecting assets and data against attacks - what it needed was a better approach. An approach that could be implemented at scale, with less overhead. This is what we'll be talking to Threatlocker's CEO and co-founder, Danny Jenkins, about on this episode. They seemed to have cracked the code here and are eager to share how they did it.

This week, it's double AI interview Monday! In our first interview, we discuss how to balance AI opportunities vs. risk. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize how businesses operate. But with this exciting advancement comes new challenges that cannot be ignored. For proactive security and IT leaders, how do you balance the need of security and privacy in AI with the opportunities that come with accelerating adoption? Matt Muller, Field CISO at Tines, joins Business Security Weekly to discuss the unprecedented challenges facing Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and approaches to mitigate AI's security and privacy risks.

We have a top ten list entry for Insecure Design, pledges to CISA's Secure by Design principles, and tons of CVEs that fall into familiar categories of flaws. But what does it mean to have a secure design and how do we get there? There are plenty of secure practices that orgs should implement are supply chains, authentication, and the SDLC. Those practices address important areas of risk, but only indirectly influence a secure design. We look at tactics from coding styles to design councils as we search for guidance that makes software more secure.

When we use the phrase "talent gap" in cybersecurity, we're usually talking about adding headcount. For this interview, however, we're focusing on a gap that is evident within existing teams and practitioners - the often misunderstood soft skills gap. Side note: I really hate the term "soft skills". How about we call them "fundamental business skills", or "invaluable career advancement skills"? Hmm, doesn't quite roll off the tongue the same. Soft skills can impact everything, as they impose the limits of how we interact with our world. That goes for co-worker interactions, career advancements, and how we're perceived by our peers and community. It doesn't matter how brilliant you might be - without soft skills, your potential could be severely limited. Did you know that soft skills issues contributed to the Equifax breach? We'll also discuss how fear is related to some of the same limitations and challenges as soft skills.

LLMs are helping devs write code, but is it secure code? How are LLMs helping appsec teams? Keith Hoodlet returns to talk about where he's seen value from genAI, where it fits in with tools like source code analysis and fuzzers, and where its limitations mean we'll be relying on humans for a while. Those limitations don't mean appsec should dismiss LLMs as a tool. It means appsec should understand how things like context windows might limit a tool's security analysis to a few files, leaving a security architecture review to humans.

It feels like forever ago, but in the mid-2010s, we collectively realized, as an industry, that prevention was never going to be enough. Some attacks were always going to make their way through. Then ransomware got popular and really drove this point home. Detection engineering is a tough challenge, however. Where do we start? Which attacks should we build detections for? How much of the MITRE ATT&CK matrix do we need to cover? How often do these detections need to be reviewed and updated? Wait, are any of our detections even working? In this interview with Michael Mumcuoglu, we'll discuss where SecOps teams get it wrong. We'll discuss common pitfalls, and strategies for building more resilient and effective detections. Again, as an industry, we need to understand why ransomware attacks keep going unnoticed, despite attackers using routine techniques and tools that we see over and over and over again.

What does a mature SecOps team look like? There is pressure to do more with less staff, increase efficiency and reduce costs.
