The RSnake Show is a conversation with guests about current affairs, geopolitics, science, technology and the future of humanity.
Today Trey Ford and RSnake sat down with Bryson Bort to discuss Scythe - a post-infection utility that allows red teamers to upload simulated but functional malware to test the reactions and defenses of enterprises. Basically the ultimate cyber-weapons as legos to play with. Very cool stuff, check it out.
Today Trey Ford and RSnake sat down with Keep Aware and learned about their browser-based solution to anti-phishing, and URL detection and filtering. It is able to detect all sorts of content policy violations and alarm or stop the user from visiting the site or performing the task in question. Check it out!
Today, Trey Ford and RSnake sit down with Push Security to discuss their browser based identity and access control detection system. It is very cool software that allows them to identify bad things that may be occurring but also to detect places that may be used by the company that you may not otherwise know about. Check it out!
Trey Ford and RSnake did a surprisingly great demo day with Reach Security. It blew what little hair RSnake has left back. A person-based risk approach to IT governance and control? Who would have thought of such a thing? Definitely worth a watch if you control security at a large organization.
Today Trey Ford and RSnake sit down and review BigID. It is an entirely different way of thinking of digital loss prevention (DLP) where they hunt down data all over your environment and attempt to classify and ideally remove or protect data whenever possible. In the event of a breach they can identify the blast radius of that breach and what PII is in scope, what regulations are triggered, etc.
Trey Ford and RSnake sit down to watch a great demo with Hypori, who does a different take on mobile device management by... not doing it. They act as a tunnel to virtual machines that run a mobile environment off the device, limiting attack surface and greatly improving privacy for the end users without requiring a second device.
Today Trey Ford and RSnake sit down with MirrorTab which aims to thwart client side malicious plugins from reading data meant to banks, and other sensitive websites, using clever WebRTC and video tricks.
Today Trey Ford and RSnake sit down with the Nucleus founding team to walk through the origins of the product, how it solves the problem of disjointed security product alerts/findings, and enables a lot of automation as a result.
Trey Ford and I sat down for a very cool demo by RAD Security. It really helps identify potentially malicious things inside of your cloud containers. Worth checking out if you work in cloud and with containers.
Trey Ford and RSnake sit down and review Pellonium. They dig into all of the cool features of the product around risk quantification and understanding how executives like to see data and ultimately quantify unrealized loss.
Today we sat down with James Wickett from DryRun, and Trey and get to see how this innovative startup is using LLMs and deep integrations with Github to automatically find issues.
RSnake and Trey Ford sit down with Karim Hijazi, CEO of Vigilocity, to look at a very cool demo of his platform that detects compromises coming from malware that beacons out to his servers.
On today's Demo Day Trey Ford and RSnake sit down with Haroon Meer, the CEO of Thinkst and discuss his Canary product, which is a super simple honeypot and honeytoken product allowing customers to get extremely high signal to noise ratio and reduce dwell time.
Today is our first Demo Day. Trey Ford and RSnake sit down and review a demo of RunReveal SIEM with Evan Johnson.
Today I sit down with... me. Chris Debiec swaps roles and interviews me. We discuss changes to the show, my back story, some back stories about James Flom and how things are going. You'll notice some changes around here, but we're back!
Today's episode is with Brad Englert. Brad wrote a very good and easy to digest business book called Spheres of Influence based on his experience being one of the top CIOs in the country. So we spend a lot of time going over some of the things that make hiring and being hired better for both the employees as well as the employer. There are a lot of his personal war stories in the book that we didn't get to, but we covered a great deal here. So with that, here is Brad Englert.
FBI's former #1 most wanted, Brett Johnson joined me today. This was one of my favorite episodes for many reasons. I think people spend too much time avoiding the criminal element when there is so much to be gained by talking to them. We only got to a little less than half of what I wanted to discuss with him but you can tell this is a bit of a roller coaster, talking about his background and his life leading him into a life of crime and eventually prison. This was as much a therapy session as it was an interview. So we'll have to have him back at some point because I don't want to arbitrarily end a conversation when there is so much left to discuss. But for now, please enjoy this trip to the other side, with Brett Johnson.
Today I'm with Justin Follin and Doctor David Greenspan. We dig into high-performance psychology as it relates both to people on sports teams but also largely we focus on business. We walk through their techniques to do group surveys, 360 reviews, TILT analysis and so much more. We also dug into my serious distaste for project managers... well not all of them. With that, please enjoy this fun conversation with Justin Follin and David Greenspan.
Today was a fun conversation with Ian Perry and Chris Gerritz. We took on the task of doing an in-person version of Thinkers and Drinkers. During the interview we drank 3 ciders, one beer and a bottle and a half of whiskey - so we took the task seriously. We discussed the format for their group, why it works, the rules but we also decided to take on two topics as a test. We first discussed if the Internet is inherently "good" and then we took on abortion. It was a complicated and interesting discussion that I think we handled well while inebriated. And don't worry, I got them an Uber home after. So with that, say a prayer for our livers and please enjoy this drunken adventure with Ian Perry and Chris Gerritz.
